Huh. I wonder if the writer was relatively young? (It's been 46 years since the Jonestown mass suicide) Or not American? (I was old enough to remember the news about it but young enough to not have any idea if it made world news or not.)

[(Anonymous)]

We heard about it in Canada buy that doesn't mean much, we get most of the American nres

[(Anonymous)]

I would assume young, I didn't learn about the history behind the saying until I was a teen. But non-American could be it too.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not from the US and as a kid I'd heard the phrase but didn't know the context of it's origins because I was too young at the time to hear of Jonestown and it's not something you could casually find out about. I think I found out in my 20's due to random youtube hopping taking me down true crime routes.

[(Anonymous)]

But did you know the actual meaning even without knowing the origin?

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't it one and the same?

[(Anonymous)]

No? I don't think so. One can know the meaning of the phrase without knowing the origin.

[(Anonymous)]

I was thinking of the meaning being the origin. But you're right.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I thought it was something to do with a bad drink in a way but assumed it was about it tasting bad, not being actual poison.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I thought it was something to do with a bad drink in a way but assumed it was about it tasting bad, not being actual poison and part of a mass suicide.

[(Anonymous)]

SA.

Oh bugger I double posted, sorry anon they’re both me I just hit enter before I was done typing.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't know the history/meaning well into my adulthood because I am not American, but not looking up phrase you don't know when you write about it is wild to me

[(Anonymous)]

It was well before I was born and I'm not American either, but I know where the expression comes from. Though I also don't know WHY I know it.
