Cecil Rhodes is considered a controversial figure today because of his colonization efforts in Africa and what some historians call a white supremacist. In present day England, there was a movement to remove the Cecil Rhodes statue from Oriel College, Oxford. In June 2020, the governors of the college voted to remove the statue even though they may stand to lose a considerable amount of money in gifts. A final decision about removal still has not been made and discussion will continue into 2021.

I wonder if any typical sayings from our time will be used hundreds of years from now.

I never saw a nun laugh and those sleeves usually concealed a switch of some sort. That living nightmare ended in the early 60's when one nun gave my brother a bash on the head requiring 6 stitches. Oh the horrors, ever get picked up by the ears when you were 7 years old? I did.

It's also in A Christmas Carol. I had forgotten all about that one and I have several books illustrated by Arthur Rackham. https://victorianweb.org/art/illustration/rackham/7.html
