Who was that masked man? Il s'agit d'une formule extraite de la série télévisée américaine des années 50 Zorro, dans laquelle le héros éponyme porte un masque. On utilise aujourd'hui cette formule ("qui est cet homme masqué?") sur le mode humoristique lorsque l'on demande à connaître l'identité de quelqu'un que l'on ne connaît pas ou que l'on n'a fait qu'apercevoir.
