More Hitler

Setting:

11th grade English class.  Mrs. G sits in front of the students discussing some fascinating (and probably incorrect) aspect of the English language that took place during the late 1930s.


Mrs. G: …and at the same time in Europe, Hitler was starting to do his thing…

Sean (quietly to Anna): Doin’ that Hitler thing.

Anna: Doin’ that funky Hitler thing.

  1. poor missus gee
    I believe Hitler started doing his thing in the 20s. By the late 30s his thing was peaking. But this is what one might expect of history from an English teacher.

  2. everybody do the hitler
    we should start a movement to offically refer to hitler as shitler from now on. I mean the guy deserves it. and also what is it about highschool teachers that they’ll believe any linguistic antiqudote no matter how wrong it is.

  3. Hitler's thing.
    So in keeping with the slang theme I must ask-Hitler was “doing” his own “thing”? That sounds like a physiological impossibility…
