I've only heard this phrase from Americans, so I think "all over the world" is a stretch
It's a meme in the netherlands as well.
Fair point. I only have english textbooks for college, and it's in pretty much evry single one of them. My dutch teachers said the meme in a translated version during lectures. Only happened twice though.
Its taught in India as well, (and is also a meme here)
Can confirm in south india
Australian here, they taught us this meme in school.
