[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great question. [b]Every Internet source I just looked up says it all stems from the movie. [/b]I was not able to find any evidence that it was used that way before the movie.[/quote]
You must be using the Dumb Google.   :D 
Because I just googled, "groundhog day meaning". The first two results were 1. Definition from dictionary and 2. Wikipedia. They both refer to an old tradition that precedes the movie. [/quote]

DP.

Have you ever heard the acronym "GIGO?"

You should look it up on your smart Google.

[b]The OP didn't ask if the phrase existed at all before 1993, but whether the phrase *with the meaning that matches the plot of the movie* existed before the movie.

You may need to work on reading comprehension. I was referring to deductive reasoning, where you take information from two or more sources (from google) and draw a logically sound conclusion.

Have you heard of the phrase, do not believe in everything you read online?

Are you suggesting this usage of Groundhog Day is part of a vast Internet conspiracy to attribute the phrase to a popular movie?[/quote]
