In common usage when I was younger and I imagine still in the English speaking vernacular today.
I presume derived from the Latin poet but like many English slangs mixed with another common word 😀

Perhaps: "What did Horace say, Winnie?" from an old time British radio program, "Ovaltiney's Concert Party?"
