I was born in 1992 and I beat over 75% of people in the 60's and 80's quizzes, yet for the 90's and 2000's one I beat less than 40% on both? How did I manage that? :(
@sierrasupafly: Thats not true. I have definately heard lots of these quotes on the internet and at school. And @dombski: The office is amazing, what planet do you live on?! And get off mine!!
Wait. How can you ask somebody what planet they live on and then tell them to get off yours? If they live on your planet, you shouldn't need to ask them what planet they live on!
you should be able to take a quote and call it a catchphrase! i've heard of thats what she said, but thats about it. the 60's. 70's, eighties and nineties catchphrases were actually things i would hear my parents and their friends say in their conversations the the dinner table. no one says "the tribe has spoken" in the middle of a conversation. use catchphrases, not popular quotes please
I've heard people say "That's what she said" originated from The Office, but I was watching an old Beavis and Butthead episode (early 90's) and I heard Butthead say it. So I decided to look it up, and people are saying Wayne's World is the first documented use of it, but nobody really knows the origin. We need to solve this mystery.
I got a couple...even shows I watch didn't come to mind as a "catchphrase." I read blogs and listen to podcasts of Survivor contestants--and this fall I watched 3 seasons of the show--the new one and 2 past ones I missed. Yet not a soul ever said "The tribe has spoken!" Only Jeff says that and only after each person has been evicted.
It would be really weird if others in the show would say that ... It is about phrases that OTHER people repeat. I havent heard this one irl myself ( not most of the other ones) but I can imagine this one being used. Like a group of people are deciding what to do that night or what movie to watch. And then someone says the tribe has spoken to indicate it is decided what they ll do (And I can mainly imagne it being said when not everyone is on bord yet, like this is the decision, no more arguments)
Being into someone, instead of in to looks weird to me, since into indicates a movement (bump into a wall) or direction. (putting something into your pocket) and action.
I researched it before posting a comment, and apparently it is written as one word, so no corrections needed on the quiz.
But it still feels incorrect to me. Maybe because there is such a distinct difference in latin cases/declensions; the difference of going into a house (accusative) and being in a house (ablative).
And maybe because in Old English this was the case as well. Old English has often felt more natural to me because it is grammatically closer to languages I know, than modern english. (Though knowing how a language evolved helps a LOT with getting things right, but sometimes the language has already let go off certain rules, so at times it can be a slight disadvantage as well
Taze should be acceptable for tase.
i couldnt get the 'there will be blood' or the entourage ones
How about the 2010s Trump catchphrase being, "We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated."?
