Customer Reviews
A Real Treat For Language Nerds!
I enjoy the light hearted banter between the two hosts. Always filled with interesting facts. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Light hearted journey of common phrases
I love that the hosts allow us to wander though the discovery of the roots and possible meanings of common phrases and idioms that we hear but probably don’t give much thought to. Even if you think you know where it came from -you might rethink that phrase you thought you knew
