This isn’t so much a conspiracy, but a case of internet stupidity that’s been around for years.
In the movie Tombstone, Doc Holliday twice uses the line, ‘I’m your huckleberry.’ To this day - 32 years later - there are people insisting that the line was, ‘I’m your huckle-bearer’ and that this refers to the handles on a casket (huckles). A few of the myriad problems with this:
-Casket handles have never been called ‘huckles’. Never.
-The script has the word ‘huckleberry’.
-Val Kilmer has repeatedly said the he said ‘huckleberry’.
-Kilmer’s autobiography is titled, ‘I’m your huckleberry.’
As internet loonyness goes, this pretty minor and trivial, but it bugs me.
