I Was Today Years Old When I Learned This Common Phrase Was Invented By "SNL," And It's Got Twitter Realllll Confused

If there's one thing to know about me, it's that I loooove Saturday Night Live. From being a part-time encyclopedia of behind-the-scenes facts to frequently having camped out for tickets to the show in my early 20s, I like to think I'm pretty ~in the know~ about it. Well, this week I scrolled past a tweet about the show that stopped me in my tracks and had me thinking...surely that can't be........right?
