A slight variation of Eric Joisel Mantra: "on precrease, on collapse, et
on se démerde" ("precrease, collapse and... we'll manage" -- in a more
crude form). At least before 2006 (here in /Le Pli/ n° 100/2006)

prefold-collapse-shape started with Brian Chan's Mens at Manus video.

Credit where credit is due: I heard that characterization first
from Brian Chan.
