Term coined by someone working on an obscure Star Trek knockoff in the 1970s. A little more warlike, as I recall, not really worth watching of course.

TBF, though Lucas allegedly coined (more accurately attributed to "model makers at ILM" instead of that assclown), various different projects' teams used terms like "wiggets" (2001:SO; <1968) and "nurnies" (B5; <1993) over the years, and the "greeble" version became popular only recently, in fact. *edit: my bad, didn't clock the "source" of OP's "fact" until just now*
