    I don’t think it is a common misconception, I think it’s pretty common knowledge (at least among the terminally online) that it started with the Hungarian Revolution.

      It seems more common knowledge for people actually in Europe. Many people in the USA seem to have never really heard the word. Especially the younger generations (which since this is a memes community… does seem slightly relevant to your statement, as I would expect a broader populace here as opposed to a community dedicated to discussions of world-wide import).
