Most of this show is great, but I'm bummed about a few things. The "upset" origin is apparently off: (Wiki - Upset) Thompson's research debunked one popular theory of the term's origin, namely that it was first used after the Thoroughbred racehorse Upset became the only horse to defeat the legendary Man o' War in 1919.
My favorite Historical figure was I'd have to say is The guy who decided "Screw England & Fuck The Dutch, we'll take our chances on the ocean" & found Plymoth Rock & in essence found our country.
Hahaha funny but big error. Freddie Mercury did not create that "Gay Battle Cry," straight man Brian May who is the guitarist of Queen wrote the entire song.
In this context, it means that he brought it to light.
For instance, Sinead O'Connor probably wasn't the first human being to ever say 'Fight the real enemy', but I guarantee you that she's the one who most people (that know about it) think of. Effectively, she created it.
Lord Cornbury might not have been a drag queen after all, according to one book "The Lord Cornbury Scandal". The portrait in question was painted long after Cornbury had died.
this guy isn't funny

Is it odd that I actually got giddy when they started singing We Will Rock You?

Create can be used in several forms.
In this context, it means that he brought it to light.
