    I bet there is a really interesting sociology paper about how The Simpsons shaped culture and language for Gen X and millennials

      Maybe, but there are a number of books on what The Simpsons teaches us about science and mathematics, among others. I wouldn’t doubt there is a paper that talks about that.

          Yeah, they literally invented it and got it added to the dictionary. Here, I thought I had heard it before.
