I notice people say "kill it with fire" as a fairly common response to topics in GD. Along the same lines as "pancake" and "smash that pasty". Just curious - is it a GD thing?

Sort of, it's a meme that came from elsewhere - possibly taken from The Thing by John Carpenter. Similar to "take off and nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" being an Aliens reference.
