Key Facts
Reviews
- Love the information
Hate the way the presentation hasn’t improved over all bar last 40 episodes. No editing done to remove repeated reprimands of the literal child mispronouncing words, no editing out of gaps of silence etc.
Hope they come back bigger and better though.

This is the perfect podcast if you want to learn the original meanings of common phrases. As father and son, the hosts have great rapport and add humor into their shows. One of my new favorite shows!

I often wonder the origins of words and phrases and this show does all the research and explains them in a fun and interesting way. Scott and Liam do the work and have great banter.
Apple Podcasts5Saves5United States3 years ago - Great show! Funny and Informative
Scott and Liam’s father/son dynamics are so fun to listen to. I always wondered where these sayings came from and now I know. Knowing what I know now, a lot of these need to leave my vocabulary. Thanks for a fun but educational show!
