Well, among others- the term is from Emmerson's "Concord Hymn"-relating to the start of armed combat in the American Revolutionary War. The first shots were actually fired in Lexington Mass, but soon after the first fire under orders took place at Concord, Mass. There has been a long term disagreement between Lexington and Concord over this. Please note that Emmerson , at the time the poem was written, lived about 300 ft. from the bridge in Concord that was the site of battle, so he may have been prejudiced towards his home town.
