Etymology
From an X (formerly Twitter) post by Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) in 2014, popularized after his election as President of the United States in 2016:
Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!
The phrase itself has been rarely attested in literature, from at least the 19th century, primarily in medical or legal context.[1]
Pronunciation
Phrase
- (colloquial, often humorous) Used to indicate that an occurence is unsurprising, or that something is or was evident. Often sarcastic, mocking someone for believing that something is common, or otherwise tongue-in-cheek.
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see many, such, cases, indicating that there are many examples of something or that something is a common occurrence.
Usage notes
- The literal sense is commonly used to humorous effect where inappropriate: when there are not actually many examples of something. It may also be a general indicator of irony, post-irony, or other self-awareness, especially online.
