Doctor Who: what does "57 academics just punched the air" mean?

  • I was just watching a rerun of Doctor Who 'The Shakespeare Code' and The Doctor says "57 academics just punched the air." Other than the overall meaning, 'Shakespeare is gay,' What do the WORDS actually mean? What does 57 academics just punched the air actually mean?

  • Answer:

    It means that 57 academics were arguing that Shakespeare was bi. Since the Doctor just found out this was true, he said that these academics were ecstatic that their answer was right.
