George Washington slept here

A phrase used to mock or convey doubt of a claim. The New York Times puts it as “a common punch line for dubious historical claims.” The phrase’s infamy originated from the sheer amount of such signs in colonial places used to advertise and get people’s attention.

There is also a Brodway show and movie called “George Wasnington Slept Here,” the name a reference to this phrase.

Pulling a George Washington

V/ To work from home... Named after the fact that George Washington was the only president to never ACTUALLY live in the white house. Instead, he governed from Mount Vernon!
Once, I forgot to hand in my work for French... Good job the lesson was on Thursday, and my then-teacher of French liked pulling a George Washington on Fridays.
