Volley.FM presents Daily Funny Word History
A fun, daily podcast that will help expand your vocabulary knowledge, learn common English colloquialisms, useful words, definitions, origins (etymology), and examples of how to use them.
American English is full of very weird words, expressions, phrases, and slang. But how often do we use a word without knowing what it really means or where it came from? Words and phrases like ghetto, funk, stool pigeon, or kick the bucket?
We use these all the time, but you’ll never guess where most of them came from and what they originally meant

Daily favorite!
Clever, quick, funny, LOADED with info. Smart & fun way to spend 2-4 minutes of your day. Always teaches me something new or brings up an idea or topic I’d like to learn more about. Extensive and amusing range of words and phrases. Well done, clear, and professional. Love it!

Very good
Mel “Blonk”
For the SNAFU episode:
I’m sure your word history was correct, but I’m afraid it was overshadowed (for me) by the fact that you called him Mel “Blonk.”
...It’s probably correct, linguistically...but I have only ever heard him, & everyone else who knew him, pronounce it “Blank.”
I trust you will not hold this detail against me.
