The origin of the term is unclear: is either from the use of hamfat as a cheap make-up remover in the old days of theatre, or because "ham" serves as short for "amateur" (as in [[LargeHamRadio ham radio]]); Leslie Charteris stated it derived from "''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''" in a ''Literature/TheSaint'' short story. Another possibility is the phrase of a 'hamfisted' way of handling a situation.
