In Popular Culture
The term was popularized by the comedy film Office Space. Michael Bolton (David Herman), one of the three main characters, reads the error message from the status display on a printer, after which he asks, "PC LOAD LETTER? The fuck does that mean?" This message appears on the display just after Bolton fills the printer's tray with blank paper. Frustrations such as this lead the main characters of the film to take revenge on the malfunctioning printer by stealing it, taking it to a field and destroying it with a baseball bat.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
