This 0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:08.680 is a follow up to our legendary Idiomatic for the 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.320 People Too Part one. This is Idiomatic for the People 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.200 to Part two, which we thought was just an amazing 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.840 inside joke we did and it was. 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:20.520 We stand by it. 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.799 If anyone's not familiar with the incredible Athens, Georgia based 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.760 you know Indie well, they became huge mega rock stars, 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.800 but they originally were kind of like heroes of the 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.519 early indie rock kind of scene. Rim Automatic for the 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.120 People is the name of one of their biggest albums 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.159 and is named after a really amazing soul food restaurant 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.120 in Athens, Georgia called Weaver Dies and their slogan was 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.240 whatever it means, Automatic for the People. Sadly that spot 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.680 recently closed and as long as I've been going to 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.640 Athens and even living there, I'd never been until very 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.440 recently and then they closed and it was awesome have 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.920 squash casserole delicious And speaking of awesome, we have a 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.320 lot of fun with this one, Max, I think it 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.959 was a little bit before. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:14.360 Your time maybe, so we had talked previously when we 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:20.000 aired part two. Part one still hilarious. We had talked 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:26.120 about re resurrecting this series with more idioms and things 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.800 for the etymology nerds. Max, would you be on board 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.760 to hop on mic with us for a gritty reboot? 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.520 You know I would all right good, because it'd be 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.720 awkward if you said no. Anyway, let's roll the tape. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:02:12.239 Ridiculous History is a production of iHeartRadio, and we've returned 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:18.359 in an earlier episode we launched our continuing exploration into idioms. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:23.560 This is the next episode of Idiomatic for the people. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:31.720 Come on knock Idiomatic for you something something bad people 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.280 and phrases and we got to work shop that. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:34.720 Yeah. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:35.200 No, Ben. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.520 You pointed out though, that the Three's company theme kind 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.480 of dirty, clearly. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:44.360 Not as innocent as the melody would imply. And this 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.840 is something that we we should look back into because 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.280 I know that you and I and our super producer 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:54.840 Casey Pegram had a fantastic time tripping the light of 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.160 music history in our Louis Louis episode, So maybe we 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:00.960 can look at theme songs one day. 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.760 Are you trying to make trip the Light happen? Ben? 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.880 No, But I was thinking about making cast the pod fantastic. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:08.920 That could be a whole thing. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.640 We hear voices. Hear these voices. Man, We've got voices, 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.520 that's right. Are not just the ones in our heads? 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.600 No, no, it's not just you and Casey myself.

We're really glad that 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.520 you guys didn't didn't give up the ghost. It's another 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.000 idiom didn't give up the ghost at intermission and came 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.040 and came back. So thanks so much for giving us 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.760 a second date. We've established the rules videomatic for the 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.360 people already. I almost tapped out myself, Ben. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.320 you've been You've had a long day, my friend. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:55.360 It's been a long journey. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.520 I was telling the superducer Casey Pregram, that I did 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.360 get good sleep last night. I went to bed like 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.000 a good boy around nine. We'll go bet four thirty. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.720 But it's not about the lack of sleep, but just 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.840 about the length of the day. We are up at 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.920 four it feels like an eternity, but I'm kind of 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:09.640 liking this. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.680 Punchy vibe that I'm riding now. I'm hoping that it'll 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.320 lend itself to some fun idiomatic dissection. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.400 I am one hundred percent agreed with you, and I've 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.080 just been struck by inspiration. Noel, will you be the 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.240 first brave soul to explore an idiom with us today? 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:34.080 I would love to ben jamn. My idiom is the 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.560 name of a spice girl? Can you guess which one 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:37.000 it is? 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:37.760 Is it scary? 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:38.640 The story? 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.040 The story is a little bit scary. It does involve 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:47.360 some sport, some potential sports, some sports individual sporty individuals. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:47.880 It's a baby. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.800 What are the other ones? There's baby baby? There may 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:51.960 be some babies in the story. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.880 Sure, there's baby spice. Gingerne Ginger spice. 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:56.960 Was she ginger spice? 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:57.880 Or she was? 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:58.240 Wasn't she? 0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.200 There was ginger spices? 0:04:59.279 --> 0:04:59.880 Yeah, I don't know. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.640 Ginger is a spice? I think? Is what you mean? 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.400 Ginger is a spice multiple levels. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.560 Yeah, the story of the spice girl in question, or 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.640 at least her namesake, does involve some spices potentially, Yeah, exactly. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:18.800 Aha. It involves a journey to India to the land 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:25.960 of exotic spices, right, like turmeric, like you know, peppercorns, peppercorns, 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.200 that's right, that's right. But it's not just any journey, 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.680 my friend. It is the journey of the wealthy via 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:33.839 steam ship. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.080 You see, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.240 it was the thing to do for the well to do, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.279 the wealthy, the upper crust of England to go to 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:49.960 India for what they call in England holiday, which means 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:54.520 vacation h or. It's also a fabulous Madonna song. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:55.359 Wouldn't that be funny? 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:55.560 She was. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.440 There's a Go Go song called vacation and then there's 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.320 a Madonna song called holiday, and they're both. You know, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.160 Madonna's talk about holiday is about taking a holiday, if 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.600 we took a holiday, just sometime to celebrate. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.400 Now, I think she's more talking about like a Christmas 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.640 type experience. Sure, she's talking about celebrating. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.000 Well, as long as you wake me up before you go. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.560 Go, oh, you know, I will ruin you. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.400 You know, I will listen, hear listen here my friends. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.080 So they have to take this journey on steamship. And 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.479 here's the thing. In those days, it was not a 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.200 good look for the wealthy to have a tan because 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.880 the tan was not what it is today. Or people 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.000 you know, get literally spray painted on their bodies so 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.520 they look they have that like glow. No, that was 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.000 the look that was reserved for like a field hand, 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.560 that was considered like we would call like a redneck 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.640 or something like that, someone that was like the lowest 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.560 of the low. And these these wealthy types wanted to 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:53.400 maintain their ghostly complexion. So here's the thing, the story 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.480 of the word posh. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.720 That is my work. It was a long preamble to 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.360 get there. I know. But Ben, you know I love 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.520 a good acronym. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:03.159 That's true. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.440 You know you know this about me, Frank, you know 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:10.320 this about me. I'm always talking about acronyms. I won't 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.480 shut up. I'm like acronym, acronym, acronym. Yet I can't 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.080 seem to think of. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.480 Radar race car. 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.400 That's it's a palindrome, not an acronym. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.040 I just want to chime in here. One of my 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.600 favorite palindromes doctor awkward, really wow beautiful. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.480 Also one of my favorite Spider Man villains. No wait, ac, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.120 I know my favorite is a lonely tail and all wow, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.360 that's a good one. Yeah, but palindromes may be something 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.120 for a different tale, right, you. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.640 Know, the word palindrome is itself a palindrome. I'm pretty 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.400 sure other language that's fair. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.520 So I'll tell you the story of the word posh 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.840 is really fascinating because there is a popularly circulated, let's 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.960 call it, I don't know, a rumored origin of this 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.680 word that these mucky muck English types that were going 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:12.400 on their holiday to India thea steamship required a very 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.280 particular type of seat so they would not get that tan. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.600 So they wanted to sit in the part of the 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.440 ship that would shield them from the afternoon sun, which 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.920 is the hottest of the hot during the day when 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.800 you're out on the open sea, which would, according to 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.000 this version of events, be the right or the starboard side. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.520 And then when you came back, they wanted it to 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.040 be on the left or the port side. So therein 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:47.720 you have the acronym psh port side out starboard home, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.880 meaning the voyage there you'd sit on the port side. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.839 On the voyage back, you'd sit on the starboard side. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.000 And supposedly, according to this tale, these tickets would be 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.319 stamped with posh and it got so popular that people 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:02.760 just started asking for the posh ticket. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.400 We want the posh ticket. Turns out this is garbage. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.720 This story is not true at all, and there's great 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.440 reason there's it's so garbage and so questionable that Snopes 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.240 has a fantastic article dissecting all of these these various 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.760 versions of the story. And they have a couple of 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.840 reasons that does not make sense. First of all, the 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.400 way the sun would move in a journey like this 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.880 would be different depending on the day. Right, This is 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.240 a very long and arduous journey. And they you know, 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.760 you couldn't really bank on where the sun would be exactly. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.720 It does make its own rules. And that's the thing. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:44.240 The winds. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.680 There were monsoon winds that would be in play, and 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.760 they would change from season to season, so it would 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.160 change seasonally, you know, like maybe not day to day, 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.560 but certainly seasonally. And there's here's the other part. Here's 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.160 the other rub as they say, which is another idiom 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:02.120 we should explore. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.520 Yeah, there it is right there. They these trips were 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.440 so long and difficult that they wouldn't book a round trip. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.240 They would be staying in India for a long time 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.520 to make it worth their while they might stay months, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.280 some might even stay over like a year or so, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:21.600 they would not book that return trip until they knew, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.440 damn well they were ready to come home. It's it's 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.680 so posh. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.280 And so the real origin of the word posh came 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.840 around in eighteen thirty. And the thing about posh too 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.680 is the reason stories like this can take hold is 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.480 because it's its origins are a little bit murky. But 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.480 there are some origins in the Romani language of the 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.559 early seventeenth century, where it was a term that meant money. 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.880 The term was posh huri, which was their version of 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.800 a halfpence. So then the word posh kind of stuck 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:54.920 around and started. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.080 To mean money. Money equals you are so money, you 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:02.000 are so well to do, you are so posh. That 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.440 makes a lot of sense to me. And now we 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.600 use that term to mean anyone that is moneyed or 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.520 looking fancy or looking like whatever their get up is 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.800 is would have cost a good bit. You know. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.439 That's amazing. I have to admit I'm a little It 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.120 was a little bit of an emotional roller coaster for me, Noel, 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.720 because I got quite into the idea of posh. Spice's 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:32.079 full name being port side out, starboard home spice. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.720 That would be good. That would be good. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.319 And a point that I love the Snop's article makes 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.000 is that the Brits of this period, and honestly humans 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.920 in general, big fans of scrap booking. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.000 Scrap booking is it was a super fashionable thing to 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.199 do and not a single one of these posh stamped 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.800 tickets exists in the world. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:52.040 Debunked. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:53.800 So yeah, totally debunked. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.360 But the Brits love to say posh. That's probably where 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.319 I know the term from. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.800 Of course, you're a posh dandy, you know, like a 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.959 posh dandy trip and the light fantastic there. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.720 We like that line from peep Showers, like he calls 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.920 them a posh spaz. You probably iron your socks, yes, yes, exactly. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:15.840 Also also I propose that we take it upon ourselves 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.640 to bring back posh as a slang term for money. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.560 There's always there's so many I think you can. I 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.360 think you can pull it off and no one will 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.400 bust you, you know what I mean. Like if you 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.679 say how much Pasha is that, they'll just say it's 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:29.520 four thirty five. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.719 I think that works totally. There's some like you ever 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.720 heard of like scratch. You heard someone calling money scratch? 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.319 Sure cheddar Posh. 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.280 Is way cooler? Yeah, posh is way cool. 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.280 You got the pasha more fashionable? 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.400 Sounds like something Ali g would say that. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.600 You would say, yaksha exactly pasha. Oh boy? 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:48.880 All right, well. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.880 Uh now we now we turn to let's see what 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.840 what you got something? Frank, you got one for us? 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.240 Sure? I was looking at, uh, what's cracking in? What's 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.520 cracking in on tonight? Do y'all have what's cracking? Do 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.720 y'all have any idea of what's going on? 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.120 Like some some what's the HAPs? 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.640 Yeah, what's the HAPs what's the buzz, what's the you know, 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:20.000 what's the new gossip? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. And so I 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.000 was looking into this and you know, it's not something 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.960 that's native to America. It's but it's been around in 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:32.640 England for a while and specifically it comes from the 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:37.880 Ulster area and the Scots Irish area of the British Isles. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.120 And originally it was spelled you know like the way 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.880 we spell it now, like c R A c K. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.800 That was American. Then it was an americanized version or no. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.760 Well no, no, no, it was originally started out in 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.959 as Middle English, and it was just like it, you know, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.800 it was related to the sound but it but in 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.720 this particular usage of it, it pertained to like a 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.360 lot of chatter basically like people, you know, you go 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.079 into a loud bar restaurant, you hear just you know. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:10.280 White noise. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.920 Yeah yeah, I believe they call them pubs over there. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:19.560 Yeah yeah, so yes, exactly exactly. And so what I 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.480 found really interesting about this was that it's an example 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:29.760 of a reborrowing. So it was primarily used in you know, Scotland, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.520 Northern England and in Northern Ireland. It really wasn't used 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.600 in Ireland, even though we associate you know, when people 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.240 say where's the crack or what's the crack and not 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:41.480 what I. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.280 Think of when people say where's the crack, I'm thinking 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.320 of something completely different. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.360 Oh yeah, yeah totally. But yeah, but say if you 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.960 were in Ireland and somebody asked you that, you know, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.520 they would just take you to a cool bar, you know, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.960 a restaurant or whatever, then sell you some crack, sell 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.720 you some crack and then you'd continue about your night. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:02.760 So cracks use in mainland Ireland or the non northern 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.960 Ireland part really is more of a recent thing and 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.360 kind of started in the late sixties. And what happened 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:15.080 was they took crack and Gala sized it and started 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:19.600 to spell it c r a Ic, you know, so 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.440 they don't have a k in Gaelic, and I don't 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.880 know why they chose to put an eye in front 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:26.000 of them. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:26.640 That's what I'm saying. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.320 It looks like a more Middle English version, like I 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.760 would think of it, like, you know, the craik was 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.440 the whisky and then he deeves and all that kind of. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.800 Yeah, exactly, it's got a jabberwocky vibe to it as well. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.360 Really in the Sleepy Tutes. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.160 Yes, yes, the guy ron gimbal So I wonder if 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.000 it's related to Archaic in any way just because of 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:48.480 that Ai. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.240 It's just an example of the Irish taking this word 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:57.400 and giving it a more Gaelic sort of rebranding. And 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.360 that's really kind of like what it turns into, because 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.840 it turns into this Gaelic spelling of it, and it 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.880 becomes associated with Irish nightlife culture and just going out 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.560 and having fun and raising hell and all that kind 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.920 of stuff, and then it ends up coming back into English. 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.240 By way of Ireland, and it kind of now means 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.200 like fun, nightlife, gossip and all this kind of stuff, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.600 but with the kind of Irish flavor to it. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.880 So are we are we having cracked? Now? Is this? 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.040 Is this what we're doing? 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.040 I'd like to hope. So okay, all right? 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:36.280 Yeah? 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.360 Is that how you would say it too? We're having crack? 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.960 Yeah, yeah, we're having a crack. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.480 And I feel very strange, very. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.480 Fake, say like because I went to a good crack. Yeah, 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:51.280 I went to Dublin last year. And what surprised me 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.560 is I had heard people use this phrase, but I 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.840 had no idea what it meant. And it was never 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.560 in a situation where I wanted to stop someone and 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:04.080 be like part of me, fellow Irish person, you know 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:04.840 what I mean? What? 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:05.480 What? 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.119 What is this crack of what you speak? 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.000 Take a crack? 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.680 And where can I get some? Sorry? 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.720 I keep leaning on that, but it's I can't, I 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.080 can't hear that. So to me, what what what comes 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.439 to mind is what's cracking? 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:16.960 Yes? 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.679 And I also another popular British expression is a cracking 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.240 good time exactly, So you're saying that's cracking good you know? 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:24.480 That is? 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.560 I think it just means that it's super exciting and 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.000 fun and upbeat, high energy. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.399 Yeah, totally. And one interesting thing I came across with 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.520 this is that it's kind of now that it's become 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:42.960 readopted by English speakers, it's now kind of like seen 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.399 as kind of like emblematic of the disney Ification of 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.320 Irish culture.
