Does anyone know where this quote came from?

Question

I cannot remember where I heard this:

"The dingo ate your baby."

Anyone know where? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Evil Angels

Answer 2

I believe it ought to be credited to Lindy Chamberlain, rather than Meryl Streep. It's not an Australian saying, per se, Lindy said it after a dingo ate her baby (she was accused of the murder of Azaria).

That being said, in the format used there, Bart said something to that effect in the Australia episode of the Simpsons "I think I hear a dingo eating your baby!"

Answer 3

something similar also crops up in The Simpsons...Bart: " that dingo's got your baby"

Answer 4

I think it is an Australian saying.

There are plenty of dingo in Australia

Meryl Streep was in it.

It's "a dingo ate MY baby" and it's a true story starring Meryl Streep:
