      True, but nobody born after 9/11 knows who the fuck Barbra Streisand even is, so they definitely don’t know the story.

            Historians will look back one day and be like “this woman was so renowned for her terribleness, we can trace the entymology of this modern word back to her name”.

            Fair, but they still could have heard it on the radio while their parents were driving them to hockey practice or welding seminars or whatever 9yos did back then 🤷
