3. I wouldn't say is a 21st century contribution but a 20th century one already
4. that's big in meme culture but hasn't entered mainstream culture like Witcher and monkeys/circus

be the change you want to see in the world

The football one probably

so, like, it's probably also more likely to be heard among Poles from Chicago than ones from Hamtramck, Michigan

and the phrase seems to date from the 1970s or not much earlier, as that's when it's first attested in print in Polish, and Chicago has more recent Polish migrants than some other places where Polish-Americans are almost entirely descended from earlier (19th, early 20th century) migration waves

i did not realize this monkey/circus line was something new but i am now realizing the person i've heard say it for ages is from a very polish family

perhaps it spread in the UK from there and OITNB writers spotted it in British media

that's why the school kept them

it was truly heartbreaking, the goats were great fun :(

my high school kept a bunch of goats and then they were all killed by a feral dog

if used in German then borrowed from Polish where it's first attested too.

No, definitely Polish.

Wonder what first English use not explicitly stated to br a „Polish saying” was, OITNB still did mention it, but after OITNB use without that bit started

I suspect Jane Goodall

First documented use is from 1979

This one is not even a century old in Polish!

I’ve seen „but I know the clowns” attached in English (but not in Polish)

It’s about animal cruelty-free circus praxis

Clown is used as an insult more commonly in English than in Polish

Seems like a modified version in English, not a thing in Polish

I’m not into sports so can’t say

It was published in 2016 so maybe that’s where OITNB writers found it?
