watched john wayne's the searchers yesterday in which wayne repeatedly says "that'll be the day". but what "day" is he talking about? and what "day" does the phrase refer to? i wonder if the phrase has a biblical reference. is it possibly the "day" of the apocalypse, the last day on earth? makes sense.
