TIL:
The phrase “Leopards ate my face” originated in a tweet by Adrian Bott (@cavalorn) on October 20, 2015. The tweet read:
“‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.”
The tweet went viral in 2015, spawning the popular expression “Leopards ate my face” ... Fast-forward to today, and people are still using the phrase to mock those who support policies that are ultimately against their own well-being.
