Talk:Tiffany problem

2018

Cant be first coined in 2019 since a cursory web search finds references from 2018 https://wordwenches.typepad.com/word_wenches/2018/04/the-tiffany-efffect.html which appears to refer not to coining it but to hearing of it from somewhere else.

you might also want to link CGP Greys The history of Tiffany (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LMr5XTgeyI) since its an in depts research on when the name Tiffany in that form first showed up. Since Theophaniea does not immediately equal tiffany. 77.23.252.200 (talk) 16:03, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Jo Walton coined the term, way before 2018. https://archive.ph/ihWy#selection-669.97-669.112 for an interview she gave in 2008 where she uses the term (though I think she initially coined it a lot earlier, possibly in the 1990s.) 65.128.52.86 (talk) 01:30, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

To whoever removed the example about the hoodys. please put it back. Even just now i once again came across a video talking about how the knickerbrocker Company (now Champion) invented the hoddy in 1938.

Names

About half those names listed are blindingly obviously not an issue. Biblical names especially have shuffled in and out of fashion over the years depending on local cultural norms. And Jason?Nickpheas (talk) 12:02, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
