Guns, Booze, and Politics

S01 E01 • Sunday, Apr 14, 2013 • Apr 14 • 30m

Politics is full of odd phrases like "pork barrel projects," "slush funds," and "lame ducks" -- all of which had practical origins and morphed to mean what they do today.

Them's Fighting Words

S01 E02 • Sunday, Apr 14, 2013 • Apr 14 • 30m

Have you ever wondered why someone who can't get it together is called a "basket case"? Or where the term "Yankee" came from? And why do we say someone "bought the farm" when they die?

Y'all Speak Country

S01 E03 • Sunday, Apr 21, 2013 • Apr 21 • 30m

The American South has given us words like "y'all" and "rednecks" as well as dozens of colorful phrases like "fly off the handle," "having an axe to grind," and "barking up the wrong tree." But what are the origins of these expressions and why has one group of people contributed so much to the American language?

West Word, Ho!

S01 E04 • Sunday, Apr 28, 2013 • Apr 28 • 30m

Expressions from "riffraff" to "betting your bottom dollar", "passing the buck," "acid test" and even "heard it through the grapevine" all come from America's frontier days. But have you ever wondered why these phrases were first used and what they mean today?

Coming to America

S01 E05 • Sunday, May 5, 2013 • May 5 • 30m

Ever wonder why American cowboys say "'git along little doggies" when they're talking about herding cattle? Or why a losing wrestler "cries uncle?" And why do we say "ouch" when we stub a toe?

Talking Turkey

S01 E06 • Sunday, May 12, 2013 • May 12 • 30m

Americans have always loved to eat and expressions relating to food--from New York's "big apple" to "wake up and smell the coffee" --pepper our everyday speech. But where did they all come from?
