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.

Very Informative and Fun!
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!
Fantastic show!
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.
