Because it's a not well known phrase in French, including an accent mark and everything. It screams of trying to be fancy and trying to look smart. It's sounds like an akshully fedora kid

Ah, anti-intellectualism over a comic book movie. Definitely not a symptom of insecurity.

Waddaya mean not well known? For me it's in like... the top twenty of french expressions.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if I know any other expression than: oh lala.. something! Yet, you know so many expressions that you can easily recall your own "top 20". Perhaps you do speak French?... Or I'm just a blatant ignorant xD

Edit: I don't really speak french, don't even think I've spelled most of these correctly and I have no idea where the accents go. I think I mostly use the above expressions, since they're occuring in German as well as in English.

While that may be true, I think it's a very safe guess that a significant majority of english speakers have never heard of it

Given the desolate state of the US educational system... mhhm, true.

Well given the popularity of the Joker that'll likely change.

I've known it since I was like 12. Maybe you're the issue?
