Is there or can anyone think of an appropriate name for repeated citation without providing a source?

For example the extreme ridiculousness of the following article on using bash libraries in scripting where every second sentence is something like "Over 90% of development teams utilize version control systems", or "According to a recent survey, 75% of developers prioritize comprehensive documentation when selecting libraries".

The entire article is full of them, and I estimate the length of the article could be reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 if they were removed.

Anybody familiar with the expression, "like 40 going north"?

E.g., "A little bit of coffee will clean that floor like 40 going north."

What does it mean?
What is the [likely] origin of the phrase, as #colloquialism?

My mom calls the sickness that goes around this time of year the "creeping gunga." I couldn't find anything about it online, but I am laying miserably in bed beside an equally miserable library science student, who turned up a solitary reference to "creeping gombu," also Midwestern.
