So where did this "Tony the Lip" moniker come from?

Tony Lip:

Tony Lip:
Who said liar? I said bullshit artist!
Dr. Don Shirley:

Tony Lip:
'Cause I don't lie! Ever! I'm just good at talkin' people into... y'know, doin' things they don't wanna do... By bullshittin' 'em.
[Grins]
Dr. Don Shirley:
And you're proud of that?
Tony Lip:
Well, it got me this job.
