Hugh Bollingsford was a shipwright during WW2. His job was to inspect the Liberty ships and make sure they were seaworthy, particularly the welds, as these were the first seam welded ships ever built. When he saw a defect, he would circle it, and write ''FIX THIS'' in bold crayon. The welders would perform the needed repairs, and write "Fixed it for Hugh'', in white chalk.
Fixed it for you is a corruPtion of tHAT weLL KnOwn PhrAZe.
