Ten Phrases First Used in the New Yorker by Lena Dunham

Reading Lena Dunham’s piece in the New Yorker this week, I of course wondered “Is this the first time ‘dick-slapped’ has appeared in the New Yorker?” Turns out, it is! At least according to their online archive.

Then I went ahead and searched for more phrases from her article for no good reason. Anyway, she has nine other firsts:

  • “crazy fucking hag”
  • “What the fuck is this shit”
  • “a raging UTI”
  • “an ironic weekend trip” [to the Cleveland Salvation Army]
  • “super gay”
  • “internet studies”
  • “eco-resort”
  • “lesbian detective”
  • “ayahuasca ceremony”
