This (arguably unhelpful) phrase seems to be taught across schools all over the world. What are some other phrases like this that are common ?

    While not unhelpful, stop-drop-and-roll and quicksand don’t come up as often as we thought back then

      I was always worried about proper handling of nitroglycerin. Talking to my friends it seems that wasn’t as common as quicksand or even thinking you’d need to tell gold apart from fool’s gold (pyrite). Games like Crash Bandicoot, shows like Dexter’s Lab, and a general interest in science may have meant I heard more about it as a kid.

      yeah I’ve been on fire three times and it never occurred to me to stop drop and roll.
