I was thinking to myself: where do we get the phrase "15 minutes of fame"? I understand its about the fleeting nature of public favor or something, but does it come from a specific source? Is there a wild statistic that it stems from? Is there a book or something that coined it?
Any of you guys wonder about other common phrases or metaphors that everyone seems to use but no one seems to know where they came from?
