I can't say, Patrick, since I can't recall encountering its usage. Here's
the full text on the origins of the phrase Kasper used:
'Fudge' is often supposed to be an Americanism, but is actually thought to
come from the old word 'fadge', meaning 'to fit'. This, in turn, comes from
a certain 'Captain Fudge', who was well known for telling lies; thus, a
fudge is a contrivance, made to fit.
