It's hard to hear the phrase "hasta la vista, baby" and not think of Arnold Schwarzenegger's the Terminator. Before he first said it in the 1991 film "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," the phrase was previously used in the songs "Looking for a New Love" by Jody Watley and "Wild Thing" by Tone Loc. "Terminator 2" director James Cameron has said he was inspired by Loc's song.

Many animals defend themselves by looking like another animal that predators don’t want to mess with. The robber fly doesn’t have a sting, but it looks like a bumblebee, so insect-eating creatures leave it alone. Prof. Arthur Flanders in "The Monolith Monsters" (1957)

The colloquial term "d'oh" is usually used to express frustration that things haven't turned out as planned. The phrase is typically associated with Homer Simpson, who frequently utters it throughout "The Simpsons." However, it was used pre-"Simpsons," notably in a World War II-era BBC radio show called "It's That Man Again."

When the term "mind meld" was first uttered in the ninth episode of "Star Trek: The Original Series," it literally described an alien Vulcan using a touch technique to psychically merge their mind with someone else's mind. In common parlance, "mind meld" can be applied to an intensive brainstorming situation between a group or pair of people who eventually end up on the same wavelength. A halo forms around the sun and moon anytime light bends while traveling through high-altitude ice crystals, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The sun or moon rings act as indicators of precipitation, letting anyone looking up know rain or snow is on its way. Of course, no animal actually uses his or her shadow to figure out the next two months of weather reports; they use their ears, food supply, sense of touch, and smell. Even humans can sense a summer storm approaching, but flora and fauna have increased abilities for predicting the weather because of the special sensitivities they possess. A snake might sense an earthquake several seconds before a person, for example, because of how that snake’s body absorbs movement (not to mention its trajectory to the ground). Similarly, because of an enhanced sense of smell, many animals can smell rain coming from much further away than people. If you drink beer—any beer—you've likely heard of the craft beer revolution, and you likely fall into one of two camps: IPA warrior or lager loyalist. The great thing about a beer-related revolution is that there is no wrong side. Whatever your preference, cheers to you. Doyle in "Interstellar" (2014)

In Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski's seminal 1999 sci-fi film "The Matrix," protagonist Neo (Keanu Reeves) is offered a choice by resistance leader Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne): Take the red pill and see the simulation he's been imprisoned in his entire life for what it is, or take the blue pill and forget he ever learned that anything was amiss in his digital world. In the 1994 film "Forrest Gump," the titular character (Tom Hanks) sums up his life philosophy by saying: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." In another study led by ecologist Henry Streby at UC Berkeley, researchers in 2014 found golden-winged warblers nesting in Tennessee evacuated their breeding areas and headed for the Gulf of Mexico a day or two before supercell storms arrived in the area. When the birds left the storm was between 250 and 560 miles away; as soon as the storm dissipated, the birds returned. The study inferred that the birds’ heightened ability to hear infrasound was the likeliest explanation for the phenomenon. The perfect storm" refers to a particularly bad state of affairs arriving from a number of influential negative factors. The phrase was popularized by the 2000 disaster film of the same name, which was in turn coined by Sebastian Junger (who wrote the book from which the movie was adapted).
