The phrase 'thats what she said' is older than you thought, amirite?
by Anonymous12 years ago
that = c.1200
what = c.1300
she = 1125 - 75
said = <900
(as of http://dictionary.reference.com)
so this sentence could have been uttered as early as 1300

The entirety of the phrase is from this century. It came from the show The Office. At least, that's what I think it originated from.

I was talking to my 53 year old uncle and he pulled the phrase on me. I asked him when he heard it and he said they used it when he was a teen.

In the UK (or somewhere, not sure exactly), the "that's what she said" equivalent is "as the actress said to the bishop".

My mom has said it to me.. I was surprised when she told me they said it in high school (1970s).
