Where is Cloud Cuckoo Land?

Answer 1

Fascinating; I had no idea that Aristophanes had anything to do with it. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously used the expression in 1987 when she said, "Anyone who thinks the ANC is going to run South Africa is living in cloud cuckoo land."

The ANC (African National Congress) was Nelson Mandela's illegal political organisation, considered a terrorist group by the Reagan/Thatcher Administration because of its armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation). The ANC, of course, has dominated South African politics since the fall of apartheid.

Answer 2

cloud-cuckoo land

An idealized mythical domain, as in That idea about flying cars is straight out of cloud-cuckoo land. This expression originated as a translation from the Greek of Aristophanes' play The Birds, where it signifies the realm built by the birds to separate the gods from humankind. It came into use in the 1820s. During the 19th century it began to be used for a place of wildly fanciful dreams, unrealistic expectations, or the like, and it also acquired the connotation of “crazy” (from cuckoo, slang for “crazy” since about 1900). Also see la-la land; never-never land.
