When "The Simpsons" debuted in 1989, it seemed that Bart Simpson had a host of catchphrases that would become very popular. My sense is that his catchphrases have faded in popularity since then, but I am still interested in trying to figure out which of them has had the strongest cultural/linguistic impact. I would welcome any suggestions as to which of these has been the most important:
Don't have a cow, man.
Aye, Caramba!
I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?
Eat my shorts!
