"What did I just step in?"

WHAAZUUUUP!

... but what does it mean to "Jump the Shark"? Forgive my ignorance, but I've read this expression several times recently and have no clue what to make of it. Thanks.

"Jump the shark" is a relatively new cultural phrase used to signal the instant when a person, place, or thing is no longer as good as it once was--the defining moment of the onset of substandard quality or "cheesiness."

Historically, the phrase comes from the old television series, Happy Days. In one episode, around the middle part of series run, Arthur Fonzarelli--The FONZ, arbiter of all things cool--performs a ludicrous stunt in which he jumps over a pool of sharks on a pair of skis. All while wearing swim trunks AND his trademark black leather bike jacket.

The general consensus is that this is the very episode when Happy Days showed true cheesiness; consequently, it went downhill in entertainment quality, never to recover. Hence the origins of the phrase, "jump the shark."

Initially, "jump the shark" applied to TV shows only; now, it applies to most anything.

I know it because it's useless information. It's the important stuff that just doesn't seem to stick. :P

"Henry, take me now, you rutting beast!"

"I SAID 'HAND ME THE SHOWER GEL AND MY PUMICE STONE,' NOT 'HAND ME SOUR GELATO PILED HIGH IN A CONE'! DUMBASS!"
