Memetic Mutation: At least in Poland, this particular anthology gave rise to few:
"Everything wrong in the world is the fault of elves and carters"Explanation A Hold Your Hippogriffs variant of an old Polish joke saying, where everything wrong in the world is the fault of Jews, Freemasons and cyclists. But the version from A Shard of Ice reached such massive recognition, there are native Polish speakers unaware it's a corruption of another saying.
"Where am I supposed to put it? Into a hat? Explanation Originally part of a Mermaid Problem situation, but became just a handwave to any scenario where you're tasked with carrying or transporting something without any real means (or even a simple bag) to do so. Oh, and you most definitely shouldn't be wearing a hat.
