LOL On the ultimate figher 5, Gabe just said "I'm calling shenanigans" on another fighters street fighting stories.

Wow, the influence of the internet.
 
The word "shenanigans" has certainly been around for a long time, no doubt. However, I had never heard the phrase "calling shenanigans" until ATOT, a few years ago.
 
How about the great use of the word in Super Troopers?

Captain O'Hagan: I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."

Mac: Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy ****** on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

Farva: You mean Shenanigans?

I love that movie...."It's for a cop!"
 
This surely proves that God exists? There's no other explanation - the odds of this happening are even more remote than monkeys typing shakespeare.
 
O'Hagen: I just got off the phone with Tom McCardle From the budget committee. This thing with Farva screwed our pooch.

Thorny: What? They can't lump us in with that ******' Martian.

O'Hagen: We're all in the same boat, fellas.

Mac: But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun.

Thorny: Yeah, his shenanigans are cruel and tragic.

Foster: Which wouldn't make them shenanigans, at all, really.

Mac: (Irish voice) Evil shenanigans!

O'Hagen: I swear to God, I'll pistol whip the next guy that says 'shenanigans!'

Mac: Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy sh1t on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

Farva: You mean Shenanigans?

Mac, Foster and Thorny: Oh, no! (Laughing) (Mac hands O'Hagen his gun.)

Farva: You're talking about Shenanigans, right?

Now if he'd said "I'm calling shens." That might have been internet influenced.

Same experience. However, I wasn't sure whether the particular way it was used was just a regional thing that had since spilled into regular internet slang or that this particular usage was creating on the intrawebs.
