In addition to being referred to in several other notable works, due to the popularity of the poem, the phrase ''"albatross around one's neck"'' has become an English-language idiom referring to "a heavy burden of guilt that becomes an obstacle to success".<ref>{{cite web |title=albatross around one's neck |publisher=Houghton Mifflin |year=1997 |url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/albatross+around+one's+neck}}</ref>

The phrase ''"Water, water, every where, / Nor any drop to drink"'' has appeared widely in popular culture, but usually given in a more natural modern phrasing as "Water, water, everywhere / ''But not a'' drop to drink"; some such appearances have, in turn, played on the frequency with which these lines are misquoted.<ref>{{cite news |last=Merz |first=Theo |date=21 January 2014 |title=Ten literary quotes we all get wrong |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|location=London |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/10556095/Ten-literary-quotes-we-all-get-wrong.html |access-date=26 July 2016 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/10556095/Ten-literary-quotes-we-all-get-wrong.html |archive-date=12 January 2022}}{{cbignore}}</ref><!--Do not add to the section here.-->
