I think there may also be a reference to Flag Day in the original printed
Hacker's Dictionary, and I think in the Jargon file from which it was
derived? I don't have any old copies of either around to check
It’s in the “New Hackers Dicrionary” from 1991:

RFC 801 documents the NCP to TCP flag day of Jan 1, 1982. But doesn’t use
that term despite latter day documents using that term.
