"Famous for fifteen minutes" = nổi tiếng trong 15 phút -> nghĩa là người, hiện tượng nổi tiếng, được quảng cáo trong thời gian ngắn rồi lại xịt. Đây là câu nói của Andy Warhol.

Ví dụ
In 1968 controversial and eccentric (lập dị) artist Andy Warhol exhibited his first international exhibition at a gallery in Stockholm, Sweden. It was there his most famous quote first appeared and you no doubt have heard it said many times over the years since then, even if you didn't know the author (tác giả). Warhol's exhibition catalogue included the words, "In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes."

US artist Andy Warhol once said that "everybody would be famous for fifteen minutes", and with the boom in mobile internet in China, it seems it is more true today than ever before.

Truly, we live in the future, where everyone has a legitimate (hợp lý) shot at becoming world-famous for fifteen minutes and everyone is depressed. “Fame, in the American context, equals existence itself,” wrote the novelist Gary Indiana in a 2004 essay on Waters.

“Andy Warhol said everybody’s going to have fifteen minutes of fame (danh vọng),” said Lacewell. “Well, Scout and I are famous for fifteen minutes now.” Lacewell says he plans to keep Scout’s find as a family heirloom (gia truyền) and in the coming months, who knows what other gems scout can sniff out from his own back yard.
