About

"Clever Girl" is a catchphrase that can be used to express respect or admiration for something has demonstrated substantial intelligence. It is often associated with the extinct Velociraptor dinosaur genus. (See also: Philosoraptor, Raptor Jesus)

Origin

In a scene from the 1993 sci-fi film Jurassic Park, the hunter Muldoon, played by actor Bob Peck, attempts to hunt down a raptor in the jungle. While aiming at one of the raptors with a SPAS-12 shotgun that he carefully clicks into place, a second raptor pops its head from the bush to the left. Muldoon looks at the raptor and says "Clever girl" before it pounces on him.


While the line was also used in the 1990 sci-fi film Total Recall, it has no known connection to the Internet meme.
