Groundhog Day
Legends of tomorrow had a great episode where Zari was stuck in a time loop, and after she explained it to Nate he said, "okay, next time you're here, just tell me "Groundhog Day" and you won't have to go through that long explanation again."

Madison is not a name


The girl's name, Madison, was created by the scene in Splash.

Prior to 1984 it was more common as a boy's name(ranked inside the top 1,000 in 1957) than girls' name (non existent).

By 2001, it was the 2nd most common girls name in America.

the classic example:
quote:

Nimrod is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles. The son of Cush and therefore the great-grandson of Noah, Nimrod was described as a king in the land of Shinar (Lower Mesopotamia). The Bible states that he was "a mighty hunter before the Lord
quote:

In modern North American English, the term "nimrod" is often used to mean a dimwitted or a stupid person. This usage is often said to have been popularized by the Looney Tunes cartoon character Bugs Bunny sarcastically referring to the hunter Elmer Fudd as "nimrod" to highlight the difference between "mighty hunter" and "poor little Nimrod", i.e. Fudd. However, it is in fact Daffy Duck who refers to Fudd as "my little Nimrod" in the 1948 short "What Makes Daffy Duck", although Bugs Bunny does refer to Yosemite Sam as "the little Nimrod" in the 1951 short "Rabbit Every Monday"

"Gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" from the Godfather still gets used occasionally
