I don't know if I simply didn't get that in biology, or if I was just bad at biology (I passed with a D; though most of that was because I didn't want to go to FFA meetings that were a requirement of the class). I only know the phrase because of memes.

It varies. I didn't get the phrase parroted at me until in college, when the professor was making fun of the phrase. I bet it was some slide that was created by a teaching board or textbook maker, and just copied ad nauseam.
