Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.

This line was spoken by Judy Garland as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (1939), when a tornado blows away her farmhouse and she wakes up in the magical Land of Oz. Today, the phrase is used when people find themselves in unfamiliar situations or places.

This quote comes from (1983), when Clint Eastwood, as Detective Harry Callahan, interrupts a robbery. He challenges a robber who’s holding a hostage at gunpoint to make one false move, so that he, Harry, will have the pleasure of shooting him. Today, the phrase is used as an ironic invitation to give the speaker bad news.
