The Origin Of ‘How Do You Like Them Apples?’

When some people hear the phrase “how do you like them apples,” they might think of the 1997 movie Good Will Hunting. This movie stars Matt Damon who plays as the character Will Hunting, a mathematical genius working as a school janitor. There’s a point in the movie where he gets into a verbal fight with a rival who was trying to impress a girl. After this exchange, Will Hunting gets the girl’s phone number, and then later, in order to taunt his rival over this, he walks up to him and the following happens:

*Hunting pulls out a piece of paper with the girl’s number written on it and shows it to him.*

Hunting: “Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?”

Okay, so why am I talking about this movie? Because when people hear this expression, they might think of this specific scene as being the source of this phrase. However, the idiom does not originate from this film. So where does it come from?

It was thought that this expression might have come from World War I. The word “apple” was a nickname for certain grenades and mortars that were used in trench warfare at the time. For instance, there was a 2 inch medium trench mortar that was nicknamed “toffee apple” because it looked like an apple on a stick. Evidently, however, this phrase does not originate from WWI because it dates back to an earlier time.

According to Early Sports and Pop Culture History Blog, this expression dates back to at least the year 1895. For example, it appears in the newspaper The Eagle, September 26, 1895:

“Bryan is the best cotton market in this section of the state and has received more cotton than any other town in this section. How do you like them apples?’”

Here’s another apple related expression you’ve probably heard of before, but if not, well now you can learn about it.
