I like that you think we have that kind of stylistic flair.

...

We don't.

Not only do most American's _not_ know the phrase. They don't know what it means.

If you move in circles _who_ do know what it means (I'm not being facetious) you're the exception.

But I like where your head is at. <3

@not2b

I'm an American. I wasn't assigned to read the play _at all_. Young Americans aren't being assigned the play to read in school.

That's kinda my point. Our experiences differ.

@bodil

@not2b

Yes, yes, I am.

My original point is that most Americans probably _aren't_. If you haven't had a kid in middle or high school in the last 10 years... I'm telling you... It's _bad_.

People our age don't make up the majority of the population anymore. We're on our way out. :D

This is what I'm referring to when I'm saying _most_ Americans _don't_ know the phrase, it's origin, or it's meaning.

@not2b

I'm not being argumentative. I'm saying... If people know what it means they don't usually search for it on Google.

I know America doesn't make up the entirety of the internet. I dunno if I can guarantee these results are from the US only.

@bodil

@401matthall @not2b @bodil I know what it means and google it because I forget the date. Some people google it because there’s a huge meme culture about it every year on tumblr and they want to find the funny content. That spike in 2011 is from the movie of the same name which people often watch in March. People google things they know all the time. Search engines are not dictionaries.

Your graph also shows a decrease in searches for the phrase.
