Jumping the Shark

20 October, 2013
Posted in: Princess, Reading etc.

I emailed herself a link to an article about Malala Yousafzai. She emailed back, type “what does the fox say” into google. It took me a couple of moments to work this out but let me spare you that mental effort: this has nothing to do with the girl from Pakistan. It leads to a youtube cult Norwegian video. Finally, I know what the young people are looking at, although the fact that I know this means that pop culture has moved on.

This is the first time I have written the expression “jumping the shark”. I see it’s been around since 1977. I guess it’s jumped the shark.

    I’ll accept that norwegian foxes may indeed say all that, but I’m struggling with the assertion that the elephant says toot.

    That made me laugh out loud.
