Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Corrected entry: During discussion in the servants quarters, John's estranged wife remarks "as if!" which is a noted 80s verbiage. Not at all early European nor American. (00:42:26)
Correction: Yes, it was used heavily in the 80's, but that's not when it originated. One of the earliest written use of the phrase comes from 1903 in the book "The Pit" by Frank Norris. And usually words and phrases that appear in print originated verbally before that (unless the author is credited with creating the word or phrase).
And usually words and phrases that appear in print originated verbally before that (unless the author is credited with creating the word or phrase Can you provide an example perhaps, outside the "The Pit"? Sometimes there is assumed history in wording or verbiage from a certain period, that never is actually found or proven.
Correction: She said "I'll go ask Daisy."
