What's a phrase you misinterpreted the meaning of for the longest time? - tchncs

I’ve seen people using “that’s what she said” in a very serious setting, as a way to say “good point/touché”. They had no idea it was from the Office.

“that’s what she said” isn’t from the Office though. It’s way older then that. It was already a catchpharse on Saturday Night Live’s in the 80s. Probably oder then that still.
TIL!
It’s time had come and gone, and was a super cringy thing to say when The Office started. And cringy humor in tv shows wasn’t really a thing yet. The Office really pioneered the genre. The joke with Michael saying it was how out of touch he was.
