Experience an "AHA!" moment as you explore the origins of common phrases and the tales behind them in this hilarious, heartwarming, and enlightening episode.
You might have heard that "It's raining cats and dogs" originated in the Middle Ages when animals would nestle into thatched roofs and fall into homes when it rained, but historians now believe that's not actually true! And, the phrase "One for the road" originated from condemned prisoners stopping for one last drink at a pub before their execution. The ladies' knowledge of history and linguistics was impressive and they had each other in stitches with their anecdotes. Here's what we cover in this episode: 1. Uncover the origins of everyday phrases that are used incorrectly or completely unknown. 2. Learn about the mystery behind the phrase "the whole 9 yards." 3. Hear about how you can literally get that B-R-E-A-D 😉.
