What shows have influenced our language the most?
What recent shows have influenced our language the most?
— Tanya Veverka
Tanya, you mentioned Friends — specifically Chandler's distinctive
cadence — in your e-mail, and I say: Could you be more right? Also, folks
who've never seen The Simpsons say, ''D'oh!''; same goes for Seinfeldisms
like ''master of my domain.'' And consider the once-demure Sex and the
City nut who now spouts nicknames for every beau, body part, and sex
act. I call it going Carrie Bradshaw.
