When the hell did everyone start saying this? I never got the memo.
You don't watch South Park, do you?
I stopped watching it regularly after the first or second season. So that's where it's from huh? Oh boy, another overused show reference.
how could you not watch south park?
Is it really an overused show reference, or just an addition to our cliche`s?
Every funny phrase had to start somewhere.
I'd be willing to bet that half the people who say it didn't know where it came from.
I just like the word Shenanigans.
My sixth grade field day name for my class was Shuman's Shenanigan's (my 350 pound teacher's last name was Schuman)
Calling Shenanigans came from South Park the episode with the running of the cows. The word shenanigan meaning a deceitful trick first appeared around 1855.
My research has come across this as for the actual origin of Shenanigans "The Spanish chanada (a short form of charranada `trick, deceit') is a likely origin. William and Mary Morris (see the bibliography) note that shenanigans could comes from Irish sionnachuighim `I play the fox.' But both the sources mention German dialectic schinageln `to work at hard labor' as a possible origin for shenanigans. Apparently, the implication is `using trickery to avoid hard labor.'"
