The exact term "melting pot" came into general usage in 1908, after the premiere of the play The Melting Pot by Israel Zangwill.

Edit: Some credit Hector St. John de Crevecoeur with coining this phrase, or for introducing this concept to describe America.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
