I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn’t give back the USB. 🙁
USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks
They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.
If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.
Back in the day it was a terrible loss though
I wonder if you applied inflation from the time that idiom was first popularized what the modern price would be.
I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.
So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)
And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.
About $3.20.
So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.
