I have heard the phrase "Yugoslavian unloading" many times, but wonder where it comes from and if many other shooters use it.

"Yugoslavian unloading" means when you are finished shooting but still have rounds in your magazine, instead of removing the magazine and emptying the chamber, you simple keep pulling the trigger until you run out of ammo. So basically you do a mag dump to unload your firearm.
We use it in a joking sense. For example if someone is shooting very fast or if someone hasn't shot a lot of rounds even when he has been on the range for two hours you can shout "just Yugoslavian unload the thing!"

It seems as if this phrase is used only here in the Netherlands since I haven't been able to find it on google or gun fora.

Does anyone here know or use the phrase "Yugoslavian unloading"?
And does anyone know the origin of this phrase?
