silly, and of course joyful our lives can be.

Uh -oh, you noticed. Uh, idioms. Oh, the idioms.
00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:53.959
They can transform a conversation into a word
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.400
work of art. They can also cause some to wonder,
00:02:00.379 --> 00:02:02.579
just what are you talking about? Yes, that crossed
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:07.000
my mind. Have you gone mad? As a mad hatter?
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:12.939
Uh -oh. Idiom. Many idioms have roots back to
00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:15.780
the Middle Ages. Yeah, like mad hatter. Yeah.
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:18.879
And, for example, it's raining cats and dogs.
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.039
That's an idiom. That's an idiom. And, well,
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.319
actually the basis of that one, I can tell you
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.240
right now, they believe it rained really hard.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.009
And back in the ancient times, Middle Ages, There
00:02:32.009 --> 00:02:34.750
were lots of wild dogs and cats. Oh, okay. And
00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:38.990
they all drowned. Oh, how about that? When the
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:40.810
folks came back out on the streets, there were
00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:43.090
a lot of dead cats and dogs. I never would have
00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:47.009
thought of that. Anyhow, we will also explore
00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:50.629

to explain what some of them mean in case you
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.620
don't know and maybe some of the origins so well
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:39.160
as as you've been writing this podcast i've been
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.600
looking some of the stuff up and this is just
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.959
beyond belief this is such a broad subject so
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.699
very broad so it's going to be fun to hear what
00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:51.879
are some of our modern and trending ingredients
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.160
so take it away here we go well hey first one
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.980
you got to be careful you got to watch out for
00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:04.180
brain rot. Yes, the getting dumber from endless
00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:09.160
scrolling on social media. Okay. Well, I could
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.399
agree with that. I think I've heard around the
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.420
workplace doom scrolling. Right? I mean, hey,
00:05:16.899 --> 00:05:19.180
here's another one that we hope this could only
00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:24.040
happen to us. Break the internet. Yeah, I can
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.300
imagine. We might break the internet. Massive
00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:34.180
attention online can break the internet. Or this
00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:36.100
one I've never heard before. This is a new one.
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.540
Throw shade. Oh, I hear this all the time. That's
00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:44.120
the insult or to criticize somebody subtly, subtly.
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.639
You're not really calling them a jerk. You're
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.339
just quietly, easily calling them up. Yeah. It's
00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:51.980
kind of like passive aggressive. And you know,
00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:55.550
then we have the Letters that mean all the words
00:05:55.550 --> 00:06:02.290
FOMO. Yep. Fear of missing out. Oh, yeah. Anxiety
00:06:02.290 --> 00:06:05.490
to the nth degree. Yeah. We all have a fear of
00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:08.470
missing out on something. FOMO was one of today's
00:06:08.470 --> 00:06:11.990
idioms. Yep. And well, there are a couple of
00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:15.730
more that, you know, we did a podcast on trends
00:06:15.730 --> 00:06:18.910
in that. That's one of your favorites. A couple
00:06:18.910 --> 00:06:22.029
of idioms that are trending again. And we're
00:06:22.029 --> 00:06:24.189
actually around during, I think, both of our
00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:28.529
teenage years to live again. For example, I do
00:06:28.529 --> 00:06:31.889
remember people would say, you know, what's the
00:06:31.889 --> 00:06:35.149
vibe, man? Or remember the song Good Vibrations?
00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:38.730
Yeah. Well, that's an old song. Today they have
00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:42.569
Vibe Check, which of course you're checking on
00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:45.910
how everyone is. You good? Okay. I'm doing a
00:06:45.910 --> 00:06:50.750
vibe check. And of course, as the great Muhammad
00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:55.800
Ali, used to say, I'm the greatest of all time.
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.720
Well, goat. Goat is here now. Again, they're
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.939
talking about the goat, the goat in basketball,
00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:05.579
the goat in baseball, the goat, the goat, the
00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:08.620
goat. And there was mom and Ellie saying, you
00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:12.959
know, I'm the goat. Besides the prettiest. Right?
00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:19.579
That's perfect. There's a couple of other funny
00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:23.600
English idioms. The lights are on, but nobody's
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.079
home. We know about that one, don't we? I think
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.040
I heard that all through school years. Wow. Or
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.000
it's an old one that everyone should know. Yeah,
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.019
when pigs fly. Yeah, you know what? I've even
00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:41.560
seen people with flying pigs stickers on their
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.000
laptops. Yes, they take the idioms and turn them
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.100
into stickers. That's a long -lasting idiom.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:52.170
That's one that's not going to go away. hey sometimes
00:07:52.170 --> 00:07:54.870
you have to tell people to do this in such a
00:07:54.870 --> 00:08:00.389
way ah put a sock in it it's a lot friendlier
00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:02.649
than yeah telling somebody to shut their pie
00:08:02.649 --> 00:08:07.370
hole is that i think that refers back to uh throw
00:08:07.370 --> 00:08:13.209
shade another way of throwing shade and then
00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:15.990
van goh well van goh i guess if you remember
00:08:15.990 --> 00:08:19.050
right he cut his ear off or something oh and
00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:21.970
so uh Of course, there has to be an idiom that
00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:25.649
regards back to him. It's about being tone deaf.
00:08:25.990 --> 00:08:28.410
Yeah, that's a real dig, I'll tell you. He can't
00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:33.629
recognize a tune. Or here's one from college
00:08:33.629 --> 00:08:39.490
days. Hey, don't drink like a fish. Yeah. Yeah,
00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:44.850
that over drinking. Yeah. I've never seen a drunk
00:08:44.850 --> 00:08:47.509
fish. No, that's what's so weird. Most fish I
00:08:47.509 --> 00:08:51.379
know are sober. And then, as we mentioned earlier,
00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:56.379
the chew the fat. We're just having a long and
00:08:56.379 --> 00:09:02.960
leisure -type chat. Chew the fat. Or, here's
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.019
one that's been used a lot. It's all Greek to
00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:18.019
me. Finally, here's one. Busy as a one this one
00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:21.159
never heard before this is cute busy as a one
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:27.559
-legged man in an ass -kicking contest One of
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:33.440
my jobs one of the guys I worked with was selling
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.340
a van and The guy asked him how's the van run
00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:42.379
and before the guy even got in it to drive it
00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:44.950
my buddy looks at him he says Well, that van
00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:48.330
runs like a broke dick dog. So I guess that was
00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:54.529
an idiom back then, too. Wow. Okay, I think you've
00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:57.509
tackled English. Got some idioms from other countries?
00:09:57.649 --> 00:10:00.470
Actually, I got a few. You know, the Philippines.
00:10:01.649 --> 00:10:09.129
People say... Appetize it already. Oh, boy. That's
00:10:09.129 --> 00:10:12.309
her way of saying, get it over with. You'll be
00:10:12.309 --> 00:10:16.980
done with it. Baptized it already. Ah the Polish
00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:23.519
have Have flies upon one nose. I Don't know about
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.220
flies up the nose, but boy that would be something
00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:29.820
to irritate you. That's what it's for To be irritable
00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:34.039
is to have flies up one's nose. Yep Of course,
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.639
they say this in their language, but Norwegian
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.480
speak directly from the liver Wow, that's kind
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.870
of weird but speak bluntly with no sugar coating
00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:48.429
that's what that means Iceland lay your head
00:10:48.429 --> 00:10:54.570
in water sleep on it all right and finally in
00:10:54.570 --> 00:11:00.750
Italy every death of a pope which is what we
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:04.990
always would say in our way once in a blue moon
00:11:04.990 --> 00:11:08.049
I'll tell you some of these things just don't
00:11:08.049 --> 00:11:11.919
translate that well but It's nice to see that
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:17.179
everybody's got idioms. It's because the meanings
00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:21.179
of idioms, they're not literal. Idioms are often
00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:25.000
drawn on shared experiences, references to family
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.039
or familiar things, members of a particular society.
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.139
And so we have idioms that reflect cultural values.
00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:39.039
We have some examples of those. You know, idioms
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.059
frequently emerge from historical events, traditions.
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.360
They're widely understood metaphors in a given
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.179
culture. For example, spill the beans. I always
00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:52.659
wanted to know. I had no idea, you know, where
00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:55.740
that came from. Turns out it comes from Greek
00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:59.679
with their voting practices. Yeah. I actually
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.600
know something about that. That's pretty crazy.
00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:03.940
They used to have white and black beans. And
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:06.720
if you spilled them. Yeah. You'd have to recount
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.220
them. So it's secrecy and discretion, and that
00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:12.919
way you didn't know who was elected until you
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.059
counted the beans. So don't spill the beans.
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.220
Pretty cool. English, break a leg. Well, used
00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:22.799
in theater to wish good luck based on the superstition
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.779
that saying good luck would directly cause bad
00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:28.600
luck. Don't we still do that? You don't want
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.779
to jinx it. Right? You don't want to jinx it.
00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:35.279
It's highlighting core values and norms. part
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.919
of what idioms do. Idioms signal what a culture
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.379
values or finds important and what they reference
00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:47.000
actually. I guess like, you know, the early bird
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.980
catches the worm. It's values, diligence, and
00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:56.820
proactivity, proactivist, being proactive. Those
00:12:56.820 --> 00:13:00.299
difficult words for me. Safe face. Yep. That's
00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:04.419
an East African Asia or East Asian culture actually.
00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:07.509
came up with that it emphasized this you know
00:13:07.509 --> 00:13:09.970
maintaining social harmony and avoiding embarrassment
00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:14.250
in public keep face and that is just not asian
00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:16.610
anymore i mean we all we all use it that's one
00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:20.190
that's gone everywhere now many idioms grew from
00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:23.529
you know daily activities foods local customs
00:13:23.529 --> 00:13:28.009
making them relatable to the whole culture like
00:13:28.009 --> 00:13:32.350
for example take it with a grain of salt Everybody
00:13:32.350 --> 00:13:37.009
should do that. That's based on historical or
00:13:37.009 --> 00:13:40.210
culinary references signaling caution, of course,
00:13:40.350 --> 00:13:43.370
and skepticism. Interesting how that developed.
00:13:43.710 --> 00:13:47.230
Parking up the wrong tree from hunting, illustrating
00:13:47.230 --> 00:13:51.789
the importance of accuracy and effort. It would
00:13:51.789 --> 00:13:55.610
be very upsetting to have the dog parking up
00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:58.799
the wrong tree. What a waste of time. If you're
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.740
hunting raccoon and the dog's barking up the
00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:02.240
tree over here and the raccoons and the tree
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.419
down half a block away, that's not going to do
00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:08.620
you any good. So, challenging or reinforcing
00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:11.039
social norms. That's another thing idioms can
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.659
do. They can reinforce, they can challenge, they
00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:17.899
can be comical, like keeping up with the Joneses.
00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:20.679
There's an idiom. Of course we know what that
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.240
means. Go against the grain. Yeah. There's a
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.779
lot of people that go against the grain many
00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:28.789
times. Highlighting the values of conforming
00:14:28.789 --> 00:14:32.649
versus individuality. I couldn't be accused of
00:14:32.649 --> 00:14:37.690
doing that. No, not me. Fostering group identities,
00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:41.409
idioms often require shared cultural understanding.
00:14:42.490 --> 00:14:46.289
So they use signals, gives you the feeling of
00:14:46.289 --> 00:14:49.870
belonging, builds rapport, and it can create
00:14:49.870 --> 00:14:53.570
social distance for outsiders. Right. I totally
00:14:53.570 --> 00:14:56.250
get that. It's definitely that small circle effect.
00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.679
Right? It really is. You're in the know. You
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.059
know if you know. That's right. People don't
00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:04.700
understand, you know, it's really, you know,
00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:06.620
I guess, you know, kind of in summary, idioms
00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:10.240
are more like, you know, it's colorful language,
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.940
you might say. They encode local history and
00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:18.000
customs. They reflect what is valued or frowned
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.639
upon in society many times. They illustrate everyday
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:31.009
life and shared rituals. and help build or challenge
00:15:31.009 --> 00:15:33.529
the identity of norms of a cultural community.
00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:37.850
Understanding idioms thus gives us a lot of a
00:15:37.850 --> 00:15:40.830
deep insight into a society's heart and its mindset.
00:15:41.309 --> 00:15:49.789
That it does. Absolutely. Well, Mark, how good
00:15:49.789 --> 00:15:52.309
things must come to an end. And I think that's
00:15:52.309 --> 00:15:56.870
an idiom in fact. But before we shut the door.
00:15:59.579 --> 00:16:03.440
On this episode, let's return to the sailboat
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.440
where we began in the introduction. I'm feeling
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.200
a little upset. Yes, the warning about the starboard
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.399
side and being three sheets to the wind. Well,
00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:19.059
let me get my notebook out. Get ready, take notes.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.340
The word starboard refers to the right side of
00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:26.179
vessel. In case you didn't know that when facing
00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:30.590
forward. towards the bow. These are important
00:16:30.590 --> 00:16:32.850
when you're out there sailing. The term comes
00:16:32.850 --> 00:16:36.909
from the old English starboard. Star meaning
00:16:36.909 --> 00:16:41.450
steer and board meaning side. Now it begins to
00:16:41.450 --> 00:16:46.190
make sense. In early boats, before center mounted
00:16:46.190 --> 00:16:49.129
rudders were common, and I'm a stink potter so
00:16:49.129 --> 00:16:51.029
I don't know a whole lot about sailing but here
00:16:51.029 --> 00:16:56.009
we go, ships were steered with a large oar on
00:16:56.009 --> 00:16:59.279
the right side. since most sailors were right
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.659
-handed. Well, this side became known as the
00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:10.380
steering side, evolving into starboard over time.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.859
There you go. And three sheets? Well, I learned
00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:17.779
a little bit more about this also when doing
00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:22.160
the research. Three sheets refers to the ropes
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.279
used to hold the sail snug to the wind. So if
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.519
the three sheets, or ropes, were to be loose,
00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:38.200
then the sail flops around badly, and the vessel
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.279
steers very erratically, or may even go in circles.
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:45.339
Well, you know, never understood why somebody
00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:48.140
would refer to someone else being three sheets
00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:50.839
to the wind, but this graphically illustrates
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.240
that they're just flailing at whatever they're
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.500
trying to accomplish. Yeah, that's the whole
00:17:55.500 --> 00:18:00.279
yes. Totally and well finally This was interesting.
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:02.619
I'm all done. I'm writing this thing. I there's
00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:05.339
my wife and I say you anything to add I'm doing
00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:08.619
the conclusion to one of my podcasts and my wife
00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:10.640
I have to give her a big shout out. She's an
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:17.740
amazing wife Amazing woman She was born and raised
00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:22.829
in the beautiful country of Belize and she gave
00:18:22.829 --> 00:18:26.910
me the Belisian idiom to close the episode. A
00:18:26.910 --> 00:18:31.670
barking dog never bites. Wow. I want everybody
00:18:31.670 --> 00:18:36.329

Uh -oh, you noticed. Uh, idioms. Oh, the idioms.
00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:53.959
They can transform a conversation into a word
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.400
work of art. They can also cause some to wonder,
00:02:00.379 --> 00:02:02.579
just what are you talking about? Yes, that crossed
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:07.000
my mind. Have you gone mad? As a mad hatter?
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:12.939
Uh -oh. Idiom. Many idioms have roots back to
00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:15.780
the Middle Ages. Yeah, like mad hatter. Yeah.
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:18.879
And, for example, it's raining cats and dogs.
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.039
That's an idiom. That's an idiom. And, well,
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.319
actually the basis of that one, I can tell you
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.240
right now, they believe it rained really hard.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.009
And back in the ancient times, Middle Ages, There
00:02:32.009 --> 00:02:34.750
were lots of wild dogs and cats. Oh, okay. And
00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:38.990
they all drowned. Oh, how about that? When the
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:40.810
folks came back out on the streets, there were
00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:43.090
a lot of dead cats and dogs. I never would have
00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:47.009
thought of that. Anyhow, we will also explore
00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:50.629
some modern day idioms. All right, I'm ready.
00:02:50.750 --> 00:02:56.330

don't know and maybe some of the origins so well
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:39.160
as as you've been writing this podcast i've been
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.600
looking some of the stuff up and this is just
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.959
beyond belief this is such a broad subject so
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.699
very broad so it's going to be fun to hear what
00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:51.879
are some of our modern and trending ingredients
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.160
so take it away here we go well hey first one
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.980
you got to be careful you got to watch out for
00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:04.180
brain rot. Yes, the getting dumber from endless
00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:09.160
scrolling on social media. Okay. Well, I could
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.399
agree with that. I think I've heard around the
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.420
workplace doom scrolling. Right? I mean, hey,
00:05:16.899 --> 00:05:19.180
here's another one that we hope this could only
00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:24.040
happen to us. Break the internet. Yeah, I can
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.300
imagine. We might break the internet. Massive
00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:34.180
attention online can break the internet. Or this
00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:36.100
one I've never heard before. This is a new one.
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.540
Throw shade. Oh, I hear this all the time. That's
00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:44.120
the insult or to criticize somebody subtly, subtly.
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.639
You're not really calling them a jerk. You're
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.339
just quietly, easily calling them up. Yeah. It's
00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:51.980
kind of like passive aggressive. And you know,
00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:55.550
then we have the Letters that mean all the words
00:05:55.550 --> 00:06:02.290
FOMO. Yep. Fear of missing out. Oh, yeah. Anxiety
00:06:02.290 --> 00:06:05.490
to the nth degree. Yeah. We all have a fear of
00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:08.470
missing out on something. FOMO was one of today's
00:06:08.470 --> 00:06:11.990
idioms. Yep. And well, there are a couple of
00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:15.730
more that, you know, we did a podcast on trends
00:06:15.730 --> 00:06:18.910
in that. That's one of your favorites. A couple
00:06:18.910 --> 00:06:22.029
of idioms that are trending again. And we're
00:06:22.029 --> 00:06:24.189
actually around during, I think, both of our
00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:28.529
teenage years to live again. For example, I do
00:06:28.529 --> 00:06:31.889
remember people would say, you know, what's the
00:06:31.889 --> 00:06:35.149
vibe, man? Or remember the song Good Vibrations?
00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:38.730
Yeah. Well, that's an old song. Today they have
00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:42.569
Vibe Check, which of course you're checking on
00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:45.910
how everyone is. You good? Okay. I'm doing a
00:06:45.910 --> 00:06:50.750
vibe check. And of course, as the great Muhammad
00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:55.800
Ali, used to say, I'm the greatest of all time.
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.720
Well, goat. Goat is here now. Again, they're
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.939
talking about the goat, the goat in basketball,
00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:05.579
the goat in baseball, the goat, the goat, the
00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:08.620
goat. And there was mom and Ellie saying, you
00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:12.959
know, I'm the goat. Besides the prettiest. Right?
00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:19.579
That's perfect. There's a couple of other funny
00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:23.600
English idioms. The lights are on, but nobody's
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.079
home. We know about that one, don't we? I think
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.040
I heard that all through school years. Wow. Or
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.000
it's an old one that everyone should know. Yeah,
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.019
when pigs fly. Yeah, you know what? I've even
00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:41.560
seen people with flying pigs stickers on their
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.000
laptops. Yes, they take the idioms and turn them
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.100
into stickers. That's a long -lasting idiom.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:52.170
That's one that's not going to go away. hey sometimes
00:07:52.170 --> 00:07:54.870
you have to tell people to do this in such a
00:07:54.870 --> 00:08:00.389
way ah put a sock in it it's a lot friendlier
00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:02.649
than yeah telling somebody to shut their pie
00:08:02.649 --> 00:08:07.370
hole is that i think that refers back to uh throw
00:08:07.370 --> 00:08:13.209
shade another way of throwing shade and then
00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:15.990
van goh well van goh i guess if you remember
00:08:15.990 --> 00:08:19.050
right he cut his ear off or something oh and
00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:21.970
so uh Of course, there has to be an idiom that
00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:25.649
regards back to him. It's about being tone deaf.
00:08:25.990 --> 00:08:28.410
Yeah, that's a real dig, I'll tell you. He can't
00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:33.629
recognize a tune. Or here's one from college
00:08:33.629 --> 00:08:39.490
days. Hey, don't drink like a fish. Yeah. Yeah,
00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:44.850
that over drinking. Yeah. I've never seen a drunk
00:08:44.850 --> 00:08:47.509
fish. No, that's what's so weird. Most fish I
00:08:47.509 --> 00:08:51.379
know are sober. And then, as we mentioned earlier,
00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:56.379
the chew the fat. We're just having a long and
00:08:56.379 --> 00:09:02.960
leisure -type chat. Chew the fat. Or, here's
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.019
one that's been used a lot. It's all Greek to
00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:18.019
me. Finally, here's one. Busy as a one this one
00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:21.159
never heard before this is cute busy as a one
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:27.559
-legged man in an ass -kicking contest One of
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:33.440
my jobs one of the guys I worked with was selling
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.340
a van and The guy asked him how's the van run
00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:42.379
and before the guy even got in it to drive it
00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:44.950
my buddy looks at him he says Well, that van
00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:48.330
runs like a broke dick dog. So I guess that was
00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:54.529
an idiom back then, too. Wow. Okay, I think you've
00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:57.509
tackled English. Got some idioms from other countries?
00:09:57.649 --> 00:10:00.470
Actually, I got a few. You know, the Philippines.
00:10:01.649 --> 00:10:09.129
People say... Appetize it already. Oh, boy. That's
00:10:09.129 --> 00:10:12.309
her way of saying, get it over with. You'll be
00:10:12.309 --> 00:10:16.980
done with it. Baptized it already. Ah the Polish
00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:23.519
have Have flies upon one nose. I Don't know about
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.220
flies up the nose, but boy that would be something
00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:29.820
to irritate you. That's what it's for To be irritable
00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:34.039
is to have flies up one's nose. Yep Of course,
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.639
they say this in their language, but Norwegian
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.480
speak directly from the liver Wow, that's kind
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.870
of weird but speak bluntly with no sugar coating
00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:48.429
that's what that means Iceland lay your head
00:10:48.429 --> 00:10:54.570
in water sleep on it all right and finally in
00:10:54.570 --> 00:11:00.750
Italy every death of a pope which is what we
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:04.990
always would say in our way once in a blue moon
00:11:04.990 --> 00:11:08.049
I'll tell you some of these things just don't
00:11:08.049 --> 00:11:11.919
translate that well but It's nice to see that
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:17.179
everybody's got idioms. It's because the meanings
00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:21.179
of idioms, they're not literal. Idioms are often
00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:25.000
drawn on shared experiences, references to family
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.039
or familiar things, members of a particular society.
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.139
And so we have idioms that reflect cultural values.
00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:39.039
We have some examples of those. You know, idioms
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.059
frequently emerge from historical events, traditions.
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.360
They're widely understood metaphors in a given
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.179
culture. For example, spill the beans. I always
00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:52.659
wanted to know. I had no idea, you know, where
00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:55.740
that came from. Turns out it comes from Greek
00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:59.679
with their voting practices. Yeah. I actually
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.600
know something about that. That's pretty crazy.
00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:03.940
They used to have white and black beans. And
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:06.720
if you spilled them. Yeah. You'd have to recount
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.220
them. So it's secrecy and discretion, and that
00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:12.919
way you didn't know who was elected until you
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.059
counted the beans. So don't spill the beans.
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.220
Pretty cool. English, break a leg. Well, used
00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:22.799
in theater to wish good luck based on the superstition
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.779
that saying good luck would directly cause bad
00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:28.600
luck. Don't we still do that? You don't want
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.779
to jinx it. Right? You don't want to jinx it.
00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:35.279
It's highlighting core values and norms. part
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.919
of what idioms do. Idioms signal what a culture
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.379
values or finds important and what they reference
00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:47.000
actually. I guess like, you know, the early bird
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.980
catches the worm. It's values, diligence, and
00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:56.820
proactivity, proactivist, being proactive. Those
00:12:56.820 --> 00:13:00.299
difficult words for me. Safe face. Yep. That's
00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:04.419
an East African Asia or East Asian culture actually.
00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:07.509
came up with that it emphasized this you know
00:13:07.509 --> 00:13:09.970
maintaining social harmony and avoiding embarrassment
00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:14.250
in public keep face and that is just not asian
00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:16.610
anymore i mean we all we all use it that's one
00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:20.190
that's gone everywhere now many idioms grew from
00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:23.529
you know daily activities foods local customs
00:13:23.529 --> 00:13:28.009
making them relatable to the whole culture like
00:13:28.009 --> 00:13:32.350
for example take it with a grain of salt Everybody
00:13:32.350 --> 00:13:37.009
should do that. That's based on historical or
00:13:37.009 --> 00:13:40.210
culinary references signaling caution, of course,
00:13:40.350 --> 00:13:43.370
and skepticism. Interesting how that developed.
00:13:43.710 --> 00:13:47.230
Parking up the wrong tree from hunting, illustrating
00:13:47.230 --> 00:13:51.789
the importance of accuracy and effort. It would
00:13:51.789 --> 00:13:55.610
be very upsetting to have the dog parking up
00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:58.799
the wrong tree. What a waste of time. If you're
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.740
hunting raccoon and the dog's barking up the
00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:02.240
tree over here and the raccoons and the tree
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.419
down half a block away, that's not going to do
00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:08.620
you any good. So, challenging or reinforcing
00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:11.039
social norms. That's another thing idioms can
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.659
do. They can reinforce, they can challenge, they
00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:17.899
can be comical, like keeping up with the Joneses.
00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:20.679
There's an idiom. Of course we know what that
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.240
means. Go against the grain. Yeah. There's a
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.779
lot of people that go against the grain many
00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:28.789
times. Highlighting the values of conforming
00:14:28.789 --> 00:14:32.649
versus individuality. I couldn't be accused of
00:14:32.649 --> 00:14:37.690
doing that. No, not me. Fostering group identities,
00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:41.409
idioms often require shared cultural understanding.
00:14:42.490 --> 00:14:46.289
So they use signals, gives you the feeling of
00:14:46.289 --> 00:14:49.870
belonging, builds rapport, and it can create
00:14:49.870 --> 00:14:53.570
social distance for outsiders. Right. I totally
00:14:53.570 --> 00:14:56.250
get that. It's definitely that small circle effect.
00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.679
Right? It really is. You're in the know. You
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.059
know if you know. That's right. People don't
00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:04.700
understand, you know, it's really, you know,
00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:06.620
I guess, you know, kind of in summary, idioms
00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:10.240
are more like, you know, it's colorful language,
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.940
you might say. They encode local history and
00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:18.000
customs. They reflect what is valued or frowned
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.639
upon in society many times. They illustrate everyday
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:31.009
life and shared rituals. and help build or challenge
00:15:31.009 --> 00:15:33.529
the identity of norms of a cultural community.
00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:37.850
Understanding idioms thus gives us a lot of a
00:15:37.850 --> 00:15:40.830
deep insight into a society's heart and its mindset.
00:15:41.309 --> 00:15:49.789
That it does. Absolutely. Well, Mark, how good
00:15:49.789 --> 00:15:52.309
things must come to an end. And I think that's
00:15:52.309 --> 00:15:56.870
an idiom in fact. But before we shut the door.
00:15:59.579 --> 00:16:03.440
On this episode, let's return to the sailboat
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.440
where we began in the introduction. I'm feeling
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.200
a little upset. Yes, the warning about the starboard
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.399
side and being three sheets to the wind. Well,
00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:19.059
let me get my notebook out. Get ready, take notes.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.340
The word starboard refers to the right side of
00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:26.179
vessel. In case you didn't know that when facing
00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:30.590
forward. towards the bow. These are important
00:16:30.590 --> 00:16:32.850
when you're out there sailing. The term comes
00:16:32.850 --> 00:16:36.909
from the old English starboard. Star meaning
00:16:36.909 --> 00:16:41.450
steer and board meaning side. Now it begins to
00:16:41.450 --> 00:16:46.190
make sense. In early boats, before center mounted
00:16:46.190 --> 00:16:49.129
rudders were common, and I'm a stink potter so
00:16:49.129 --> 00:16:51.029
I don't know a whole lot about sailing but here
00:16:51.029 --> 00:16:56.009
we go, ships were steered with a large oar on
00:16:56.009 --> 00:16:59.279
the right side. since most sailors were right
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.659
-handed. Well, this side became known as the
00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:10.380
steering side, evolving into starboard over time.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.859
There you go. And three sheets? Well, I learned
00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:17.779
a little bit more about this also when doing
00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:22.160
the research. Three sheets refers to the ropes
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.279
used to hold the sail snug to the wind. So if
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.519
the three sheets, or ropes, were to be loose,
00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:38.200
then the sail flops around badly, and the vessel
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.279
steers very erratically, or may even go in circles.
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:45.339
Well, you know, never understood why somebody
00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:48.140
would refer to someone else being three sheets
00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:50.839
to the wind, but this graphically illustrates
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.240
that they're just flailing at whatever they're
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.500
trying to accomplish. Yeah, that's the whole
00:17:55.500 --> 00:18:00.279
yes. Totally and well finally This was interesting.
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:02.619
I'm all done. I'm writing this thing. I there's
00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:05.339
my wife and I say you anything to add I'm doing
00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:08.619
the conclusion to one of my podcasts and my wife
00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:10.640
I have to give her a big shout out. She's an
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:17.740
amazing wife Amazing woman She was born and raised
00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:22.829
in the beautiful country of Belize and she gave
00:18:22.829 --> 00:18:26.910
me the Belisian idiom to close the episode. A
00:18:26.910 --> 00:18:31.670
barking dog never bites. Wow. I want everybody
00:18:31.670 --> 00:18:36.329
