Georgia church sign takes viral inspiration: 'Cash God inside, howbow dah?'
Published in Weird News
COLUMBUS, Ga. (UPI) -- A Georgia church is turning heads with a sign inspired by a Dr. Phil guest's viral catchphrase: "Cash God inside howbow dah?"
Alex Jones, 20, whose father, Tim Jones, is the pastor at Britt David Baptist Church in Columbus, said he was inspired by viral clips of Danielle Bregoli, 13, challenging audience members to a fight during an episode of The Dr. Phil Show last year.
"Catch me outside, how about that?" the teen said, in a dialect that led her quote to go viral as, Cash me ousside, how 'bout dat?
The last part of the quote has also popularly been stylized as "howbow dah?"
Jones said he knew he wanted to use the quote on a church sign: "Cash God inside howbow dah?"
"I saw it picking up steam," Jones told KTRK-TV. I just thought, 'How can I make it culturally relevant to a church sign?'
Jones' idea worked -- the sign quickly went viral on social media.
"We wanted to do something kinda culturally relevant, I think a lot of times signs come off kinda mundane and people don't really look," he told WRBL-TV. I wanted to draw from something a lot of Millennials and young people would look at and notice.
