Had to look it up [0], as I didn't know it.

Side note: I'm always happy to learn a new reference, but most of them are heavily US-centric, and for people like me who didn't grow up in the US, and live or lived in the US in their adult life, sometimes it's a bit too frustrating, because there's just too much of it going around.

The worst of all is when the reference is killed by Italian dubbers/translators (in Italy you can rarely watch TV series or movies in their original language, which is very comfortable, but deeply damages your ability to understand cultural references, which most non-US foreigners would get because they watch the original English version of everything).

Anyway, just to give all of you some new perspective of how these things are perceived by some foreigners.

I always liked this reference as I thought it applied to a lot of ML stuff.
