I stumbled upon the Books Ngram Viewer in Google labs that allows you to graph words or phrases published in books over time. As one does, I began wondering when phrases like "Abraham begat Isaac" and "Rehoboam begat Abijah" became less common than phrases such as "Dude, where's my car?"

Answer: sometime in the mid- to late-1970s.
