You would be referring to Australia, another continent actually. You'll notice it on a world map. You are from the US I guess? I love Wayne Gretzky man, he was so cool.
That line is from a famous movie called Evil Angels, with Meryl Streep and Sam Neil, who was a Kiwi actually. And it was "a dingo stole my baby".
I asked if you are from NZ because of your username
I was actually quoting Elaine from Seinfeld
In the Seinfeld episode "The Stranded," Elaine Benes delivers the iconic line "Maybe the dingo ate your baby" to mock a woman who was repeatedly and obnoxiously referring to her missing fiancé as "the poor baby."
The quote is a reference to the infamous 1980 Azaria Chamberlain case in Australia, where Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton claimed a dingo took her infant daughter, a story popularized by the 1988 film A Cry in the Dark starring Meryl Streep. Elaine uses the line with a fake Australian accent to shut down the woman's dramatic complaining, leveraging a well-known pop culture reference to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
Edit:
Did a dingo eat a baby?
Yes, a dingo killed and consumed Azaria Chamberlain, a nine-week-old Australian infant, on August 17, 1980, during a family camping trip at Uluru (Ayers Rock).
While her mother, Lindy Chamberlain, was initially wrongfully convicted of murder after authorities rejected her claim that a dingo took the baby, she was exonerated in 1986 after Azaria’s clothing was found near a dingo lair. The legal saga ended in 2012 when Coroner Elizabeth Morris officially ruled that Azaria’s death was the result of a dingo attack, confirming the truth of Lindy Chamberlain’s original statement.
I know, I was just teasing. I didn't know Lindy was born in NZ.
It was big news, I remember it as a kid, and we still say it in a fake Aussie accent.
The movie was called Evil Angels in NZ and Aus.
Lindy's husband was also born in NZ
I hate to admit this but I had no idea until Seinfeld
Typical American high culture
Lindy was also born in NZ
Wayne Gretzky's wife is American and most if not all of his children grew up in Los Angeles area
You are from NZ? The dingo ate your baby
