Was "resident evil" a phrase before the game? I tried to Google it but I'm coming up with nothing. I do remember a quote from an old Outkast song from the ATLiens album that says: "The resident evil specialised in misconstruing"

I always assumed it meant the evil people in power or something like that. The game and the song both came out in 1996, though.

I've always interpreted it as an evil that's always present. So nothing linked to a residence but more something that resides within.
