Where does the “A Little Bit Lucky” meme come from?
Lothar Matthäus, one of the greatest German midfielders in football history, joined American Major League Soccer late in his career with the New York MetroStars. At his official club presentation, he spoke English with a very pronounced German accent, dropping the phrase a little bit lucky in a way that struck observers for its tone and pronunciation. The video clip of that presentation later circulated on German-language social media, where the contrast between the player's prestige and the linguistic clumsiness of the moment was enough to make it a cult clip, regularly brought back to illustrate confidently delivered, imperfect English.
