About this episode
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we break out the military-grade thesaurus and embark down the long, winding road back to the shadowy origins from which some of our most common turns of phrase originate, illuminating their esoteric origins and what exactly they meant in the first place. On the free side of the show we pull back the curtain to explore exactly how many phrases we use in everyday life that secretly go back to the Fraternal Order of Free Masons! There’s a lot. In the extended side of the show we explore the multitude of common phrases that go back to the bible and a few others that are so ancient we don’t even know at all. Thank you and enjoy the show!
