It’s interesting how things can take over the world, slowly and without notice….things catch on and spread through a culture until they reach the outskirts of another. How one thing said in a movie, or in one classroom can lead to it being said generations later in another country…and the people probably don’t even know where it originated. They simply know what word or phrase or symbol has come to mean to them over the years. Things can infest the human population, leaking out like a disease, without anyone taking notice.
I think it’s interesting to watch things evolve from one thing to the next. To watch something take on a whole new persona with each new passing group that experiences it. One word can transform and then you ask someone about it and their response is always interesting. Some people will tell you that they remember when the phrase was made popular and that it didn’t mean the same thing then that it does now. And others will tell you that they don’t know where the phrase come from…and yet it keeps getting repeated and taken from generation to generation without much explanation, if any.
These unexplained phenomenons in culture slowly but surely spread their way across the country and then across the world.
