I meant to say "expression", not "term".

I can't see it being used that way on Japanese pages.

This doesn't appear to be an established term in Japanese. Only a few thousand Google hits. Presumably a translation from English. I don't think it's needed.

(ただ飯は無い - didn't do ない with 無い because there were very 
few hits for those variations, less than 100... and it'd be 
such a mess with the restrictions)
