When the Jewish, 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m), 314-pound American football player Gabe Carimi was drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, he was nicknamed "The Bear Jew", a reference to the character in Inglourious Basterds.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Insolent youth rides, now, in the whirlwind. For those modern iconoclasts who are without culture possess, apparently, all the courage.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
