Anyone think we should just totally STAB CAESAR? Obviously, the Mean Girls quote from Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert) is one of the most popular ways people commemorate the Ides of March. Caesar died a whopping 2060 years ago, but people are still referencing his death like it was yesterday.
“Beware the Ides of March” actually comes from Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, in which the soothsayer tells the emperor to beware the 15th of March — something bad is going down. The notion of the Ides of March being a dangerous day is Shakespeare’s doing, but it’s still pretty fun to imagine this day has some special meaning!

“Et tu, Brute?” were supposedly Caesar’s last words before being fatally stabbed by his friend and protégé, Brutus. Translated, it means, “and you, Brutus?” or “you too, Brutus?” — a phrase that’s persisted until today when you’re being betrayed. Seriously, try it out sometime! There’s no concrete evidence that Caesar actually said this upon dying (remember, this was over 2000 years ago), but Shakespeare swooped in again to make this part of the modern lexicon.
HollywoodLifers, do you think we should just totally stab Caesar?? Tell us in the comments!
