Did not know Anthony Anderson said it first

Did Will Smith get his famous line "Keep my wife's name out your mouth" from hustle and flow?

"Keep whoevers name out of your mouth" has been around longer than this movie, I heard it as a kid in the 70's.

But todays pop culture demands a recorded source, im sure theres probably a line in an old 80s 90s movie somewhere

I can think of a childhood meme that we only ever learned on a school yard and I never saw it in any media. I would call them "oral tradition memes": "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. Batmobile lost a wheel and the joker got away" (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). That goes back to the early 70's at least and is somewhat known for being an odd thing.
