As the country celebrates today's historic All Blacks win, the hashtag #allblackeverything is trending across social media.

Several All Blacks, including Dan Carter, Victor Vito and Keven Mealamu have all used the phrase, along with thousands of proud fans.

We did it! #allblackeverything

A photo posted by Dan Carter (@dancarter_) on Oct 31, 2015 at 12:04pm PDT

But where did the phrase come from? Actress Teuila Blakely took the time to remind everyone this afternoon, posting this status across social media.

She wrote: "My bestie Scribe wanted to do a track for the ABs.. He went to the studio with our good mate P Money, sampling Jay Z and came out with this Black Gold Track and that's why today we all say "All Black Everything" for the ABs.."

Kiwi hip hop stars Scribe and P-Money released All Black Everything in September 2011 ahead of the All Blacks' Rugby World Cup victory in Auckland.
