It's a reference to an early 90s British sitcom (that I never thought I'd see on HN) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeping_Up_Appearances https://en.wikipedia.

- ZenoArrow 10y agoI'd suspect the reference was at least partly prompted by the recently released prequel (it was broadcast 2 days ago): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Hyacinth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Hyacinth Keeping Up Appearances was better than Young Hyacinth IMO. Here's an intro to Mrs Bucket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsZGHxb4caA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsZGHxb4caA
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoNope. Never heard of it. Though quite cool. The reference came from being about to write 'people keeping up appearances', then remembering the show.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoFair enough. The prequel timing was just a coincidence then.
