The Y combinator.

It's called Y Combinator ;)

I'm only somewhat kidding.

Well I guess that's Y Combinator to some extent...

This is just a 'Y-combinator thing.'

It sounds like the description of Y Combinator, no?

Oh wow, I didn't know that "Y-Combinator" was not just a fancy name but was an actual computer science concept. Thanks!

Y combinator possible?

Someone needs to have a word with Y Combinator.

Appropriately enough, a Y combinator fits the bill.

You can see where the name 'Y Combinator' came from. Thanks.

Maybe there is a Y-Combinator connection?

This link (from the comments on the OP) is actually a very interesting yet simple explaination of the Y-Combinator.

No definition of the Y Combinator ;-)

I'll be honest, I didn't know what Y-Combinator is. It was one of those things I just took as granted. Mind blown.
