Have you ever wondered why we use certain phrases or words? Where did they come from? What's the origin of that saying? Why do we say "Rule of Thumb"? Why should we mind our "P's & Q's"? Father and son hosts Scott and Liam Kelly have the answers to those questions! We know you could just look it up online, but why not have us do the work for you and have a fun time listening! For Season 2 we are playing our world famous game show--What Word Am I? at the end of each episode! New episodes every Tuesday.

Customer Reviews
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!
