I was watching The Vampire Diaries when I encountered the phrase above. There is a scene that a history teachers asks his students about the casualties of a historic battles. The calls the students once at a time. They don't know the answers. Here is the transcript;
Teacher: The battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls.How many casualties resulted in this battle?.... Ms. Bennett?
B: Um... a lot? I'm not sure.Like a whole lot.
T: Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett.
Mr. Donovan.Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?
D: It's okay, Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it.
T: Hmm. Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?
E: I'm sorry, I-- I don't know.
T: I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena, but the personal excuses ended with summer break.
