| Sep 14, 2023 at 14:06 | comment | added | TimR | @PeterShor OP's question is not about a particular phrase verbatim as it mentions variants; that said, Google isn't the end-all-be-all to questions relating to language. Google deals with OCR'd printed texts, and it has a very bad success rate with early printing, its scanning algorithms often screwing things up royally. | |

| Sep 14, 2023 at 13:29 | comment | added | Gio | @PeterShor - definitely not: The meaning "playing cards held in one player's hand" is from 1620s; (Etymonline) | |
| Sep 14, 2023 at 13:19 | comment | added | Peter Shor | @TimR: Definitely not as old as card-playing itself. There are only a handful of instances in Google books before 1900. | |

| Sep 14, 2023 at 11:16 | comment | added | TimR | It is a very common expression, as old as card-playing itself, probably, defintely not coined by Schulz. The link between fate, fatalism, and games of chance is ancient. | |
