It is so strange that people still say this. A family lost their child.

On this one point, if you really pin us down, you can get me to feel bad, but you know that this is a reference to a Seinfeld bit.
That seems a very strange claim that it's a reference to one minor use of a vastly larger tragic cultural phenomenon [1] without any other contextual indications that's the case?

I'm not dying on this hill. I punched up this post and that paragraph is mostly mine, and I'm telling you it's a random Seinfeld reference and not a joke about an actual tragedy, any more than me joking about the Andrea Doria would be. I'm not arguing with you about whether the actual event is something worth making fun of.

Filter bubbles and what not, but, googling the term only had Seinfeld show up on the bottom of the fourth page. Bottom of page 2 in a private tab.
It’s a Buffy the vampire slayer reference and you know it.
I have never watched a single episode of Buffy (or of Star Trek The Next Generation, if Picard also said this.)
