I remember more of the experiences WW describes.
I heard it a lot when I started reading science fiction in the 60s.
This is perhaps a generational thing now.
I think Science fiction underwnt a social normalization in the late 70s, with Star Wars, Battlestar Gallactica, Logans Run, and other special effects heavy offerings making science fiction a cash cow in the box office and in the Nelson ratings.
