There's no denying that the entertainment industry is responsible for shaping our world, including our vocabulary. From popular slang terms to phrases, both TV and movies have contributed big time. Going back decades in Hollywood history, new words and expressions that might have seemed like a funny punchline or a goofy twist to the story proved to be surprisingly durable. Just take the term "gaslighting" from 1944, which only relatively recently became popular. And even when these shows or films didn't invent these terms or phrases, they undoubtedly shined the spotlight on them!
