Well, you just told me!! I saw the youtube and I still did not understand ... (that makes me a special type of dumb? I associated ' a roast' only with cow-meat so the explanation did not land.) Thank you!!
That's cute but not true, they say that when you're in the cast and going on stage as well. It's the idea that if they wish something bad to happen then the opposite will. Thespians are a superstitious bunch, that's why you ALWAYS say "The Scottish Play" and NEVER MacBeth
During the Spanosh influenza pandemic of 1918, a common American saying referring to the sickness was: "I opened a window and in flew Enza." Just a little trivia.
I didn't realize that KO stood for knock out... One day my son asked me what KO meant and I told him.. "It's like.. saying knock out" Then it hit me... It's not "like" saying knock out it IS KNOCK OUT. 🤯
And OK and the OK gesture is from Martin Van Buren's political campaign. He was born in Kinderhook, NY and he was called "Old Kinderhook". "Are you OK?" means are you voting for Old Kinderhook?
For the longest time I never understood the joke "What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck." And I would always get pissed when someone told it because garbage trucks don't fly.
This is in the same vein as the one in the video: "Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana." I had heard neither joke before! Love 'em both! My favourite joke is in Danish and goes like this: "What's the difference between a clean and a dirty elephant? The clean lives in Lapland and the elephant lives in Africa!" ... which makes sense in Danish because the Danish word for "clean" (ren) also means "reindeer", but they are more commonly known by their longform name (rensdyr), so it always takes people a moment to realise that you were saying "reindeer" all along and not "clean". :D
I was way too righteous about the ones I already know considering how many I didn't already know. Back and forth between "What kind of moron doesn't know that?" And "Oh, hey, That's good to know"
My wife was close with her mom, and her mom died right around when we started dating. We were watching Buffy together and got to the story arc where Buffy's mom has a medical issue (aenurysm? It's been a minute); and eventually died. After the first episode in the arc I said something like "yeah I read ahead and it turns out that her mom, uhh, ultimately goes to live on a farm..." Fast forward to when she decided to keep watching and saw the episode when Buffy's mom died: "I thought you said she moved to a farm!" That was an awkward night, but thankfully apologies were made and accepted.
Yeah, "bought the farm" was a very tricky one to explain to my less brainy ESL students. A small core of them could never be convinced not all native English speakers bought an actual farm just before they died.
@@felicitybywater8012 Whoa... I never understood that expression till now! I just asumed those people emigrated to another country or something (farmland is almost impossible to buy here), never to be heard of again. (I was vaguely aware people would lie to their kids about animals ending up dead and gone, but did NOT translate that 'habit' to this expression.) Thank you so much! (Dutch, so english is my third language, and still catching up to the more cultural references. If people here lie/ and they rarely do, we are more pragmatic maybe? Usually they just tell the kids the dog died/ the usual attempt at covering it up is that 'it ran away' and we end up with very upset kids looking for their pets everywhere... and you cannot very well tell the kids 'grandma ran away'.)
@@muurrarium9460 Yeah, idioms are like falling down the rabbit hole. And if that one doesn't translate to Dutch, read the children's story Alice in Wonderland.
@@felicitybywater8012 Oh, I did :) It's one of the childrens favorites here as well. (Unfortunately a lot is lost in translation, but you can figure that out /a lot/ later in life if you want to.) Then again, I also was raised with the old greek en roman myths as bedtime-stories, as well as the local legends, so maybe not all children ;)
a funny one, my mom was invited to a halloween party way back and had this idea of dying white wine to bring as “blood wine” as a beverage. She literally made it and brought it to the party and didn’t realize until one of her friends said “why didn’t you just use red whine?”
To be fair. The flavor would have been different. I don't drink... in fact the most I consume alcohol is whatever happens to be present in Nyquil if I'm sick and taking as directed... But I have been made aware they taste different.
@@ShadowFoxSF True, they are different, but white wine tastes fresh, light, almost spring-like. Red wine tends to be more aromatic and heavy. Fits halloween way more than white wine.
Took a Spanish speaking co-worker to help me realize this...she calls her burritos burros. Burro means Donkey, which were often used as pack animals to carry many things. The suffix -ito often refers to smaller... A Burrito is named such because they can hold many food items in that tortilla. It's like a little donkey which I find cute.
I only realized this week that Buy one get one free deals are the exact same as 2 for one. I’ve been treating them like two entirely different deals my whole life.
@@tablet9325 Buy one get one free : You buy two packets of crisps, buying one got you the second pack for free. Two for one : Buy two packs of crisps again, you got both of them but only have to pay for one of the packs, meaning again, the second pack was for free.
@@rockingbeat Not necessarily. If something is half off, you can buy only one of those items and only pay half the price, but with a BOGOF/241, you /have/ to buy 2 of the same item in order to take advantage of the deal.
Maybe not obvious, but I was mind blown when I found out that most languages call dandelions "tooth of the lion" because of the serrated leaves. I thought they were called that because of the puffy white flower resembling a "dandy" lion. Dandelion is a bastardization of dent de lion, French for tooth of the lion.
This is the most amazing one I've seen yet, you thought a phrase that literally means that a person has no equal, meant that person rates, but only silver against no opponents. It's impossible to get more opposite than that.
I grew up in a farm so when our cat was too old and ill he didn't go to another farm, he was put to sleep but my mom told me he had passed away by his milk bowl, just falling asleep and never waking up. I once mentioned to mom how sweet that was that he died like that and she was like oh sweetie...
When I was 8 or so, I had a dog I loved but was crazy. One day he snatched my face pretty good with his claws, and my mom told me straight up that They were putting him to sleep. I respect that she didn't lie to me even as a kid, but holy shit that was traumatic.
@@optimchs1 Oh wow, that sounds awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's really unfortunate that his behavior couldn't be corrected. Hope you're doing better now!
This makes me want to write a comment on how I was never lied to about death (at least that I remember), with a long detailed story from when one of our cats had to be put down. Ahh fuck it. I don't know how Interresting the story is for other people, but here it goes. It was a schoolday, in the summer when I was about 8 (I am now fourteen), it was early in the morning and I went to the bathroom, only to see the older of the two cats we had back then, lying in front of the litter box. Don't worry she wasn't dead already, but I knew something was wrong. According to my memory she didn't look like she was injured (she was an indoor cat and we lived in a flat in the 3rd story so that would have been unlikely anyways), but my memory says something about her not being able to walk which she should be able to, so I go to tell my mom. She has a look, calls a doctor. I went into my room and waited. It felt like hours until my mom came in crying(I don't remember why but I knew that, the cat was dead), she then hugged me and told me the obvious. Her words were something like: "she only felt a tiny poke and then she went to sleep. No more pain for her." I tried not to cry and be strong for her but it didn't work. We kept hugging for a while until I was eventually told to get to school. Needless to say, I did not make it on time. We buried her in my grandparents jard in a corner behind some kind of broken trailer that was only used for storage and as a playground for my two cousins and my younger sister. There was a tree planted on that spot (the sort of tree that would be used as a Christmas tree) but since it was between a large trailer and a large hedge it did a few years ago. We eventually moved to the area and I visit her acasionally. The other cat had to be put down because of a tumor in her mouth a few years later, living not to far from where her earlier companion lied. Unrelated to that: We also saved a few rabbits from my sisters grandfather ( I am using the term "saved" losely here because he still ate one and gave another away) originally it was a mother with 4 children plus an uncle, but uncle needed to go to make space for the kids and one of the, then almost grown up, kids was given away the evening of the day we originally wanted to bring the rabbits home, but didn't because I did something which prevented that, I don't know what it was. Eventually they all passed one after the other except one ( we adopted more rabbits over time so that we had eleven rabbits at once. Then came another mistake of mine : I had terrible memory so I always forgot to refresh the water, ( My mom always reminded me of this and I always went out and refreshed the water but she was still annoyed at this (she could have just done it herself because she always checked anyways)) but she said if I would not be able to do it for one week, she would give them all away. We still have rabbits today but all of the ones that where there at that time all were given away. It was weird since before they where all gone, we already adopted new ones... Now we have two groups of two rabbits 1 girl and one boy in each group and they hate each other. There is so much more story to tell but this must be boring to read and my cat Tom is so annoyed by the noise my mom and I make when she screams that I should be feeding the rabbits and I scream back that I will be doing that in a moment. I actually mamagef to fix my habit of forgetting to refresh the water. R. I. P Mimi (the first mentioned cat) R. I. P Ginger (the second mentioned cat) R. I. P. All of the rabbits I now realised that I could have said bunny's , but I should really be feeding them now. Edit: reading through this again it looks really janky, but to clarify the bunny story took place over thcourse of many years. I am really bad at story telling as I always forget something and go back to it to then jump forward in time and correct my previous sentence, and all other mistakes you could make while telling a story. It sounds really boring without the rest of the story, but I did my best. I wish I could add photos to RU-vid comments... Would make it a lot easier.
My parents wanted us to have the opportunity to be there when our animals were put to sleep, so they never had to lie to us about it (though we were already teens when our dog, and later our cat had to be put to sleep). But when I was young one of our cats did actually die, peacefully, of old age at the age of 21, besides the heating stove, on a blanket, in her sleep at night. Kinda nice to know she probably didn't feel any pain, nor seemed to be sick beforehand.
I live in the USA, and for school we had to recite the Pledge of Allegiance everyday, and for some reason up until I was in grade 3 I thought it was “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, *for witches stand* “ instead if “for which it stands”. The most surprising part to me is how I didn’t mess up words like Republic, allegiance, or indivisible, but rather ‘which it’ and I always thought for some reason the pledge was about witches.

Droids are called Droids because most of them are androids (android means a robot based on a man, so astromechs etc technically aren't androids, but that's still where the name comes from).
Oh, another one ... When i was around 8 years old, my dad and i were driving to his friend. Then i noticed that Red Button in the middle of the console. I was about to Press it, when he screamed "No! Don`t ever Press that Button while i`m driving, the wings will come Out!" You can Imagine, how Young me, from that day on, was sitting in the Back of the Car, abso-f.ing-lutely excited, begging my dad to make the Car fly.

I had a girl in high school call me "simple", just because I'm an introvert, observe before speaking, and I'm quiet. This was right before we opened our report cards. She failed all her easy classes, and I mostly aced all my advanced classes. Then she wanted to get mad at me as if I set her up for that. Later, we both applied for the military, and she got a rock bottom score her ASVAB, so she blamed the test overseer. She was also rude, arrogant, had no people skills, and made up for it by speaking too loud all the time, and invading people's spaces. Last I heard, she has five children by five different men, but I guess she feels she beat the system. Bottom line is, most people who call others simple are full of sheit. I find it's code for, "I don't understand you."
That Pangaea means "All Earth" in Greek. I knew that "Pan" meant "all" and that Gaea was the Greek titan of the world like Mother Earth (from reading the Rick Riordan books), but I never put two and two together until now. It's literally "all the Earth" because all the continents were together in one place.
It doesn't help that Pangaea is pronounced (at least every time I've heard it spoken) with a soft 'g', but most people know Gaia rather than Gaea in my experience, which tends to use a hard 'g'.
Enjoy Panthalassa "all sea" and Pannotia "all South", on me! (Former is the ancient world sea bounding one of the supercontinents; latter is one of those supercontinents of all the land, situated in the southern hemisphere.)
I learned last year that the original saying was actually _"eat your cake and (still) have it too"_, not the other way around. Now it makes more sense, because of the sequence. Before that I was struggling to accept the idiom's meaning. P/s: Not a native English speaker.
The switched form has a better cadence to me. Besides, you must first have (possess) the cake to eat it; and once you've devoured it away, you no longer truly possess it, like having it in hand.
LOL, thanks for pointing this out; I knew that fortnight = "2 weeks". But thinking & counting in Dutch (most of the time anyway), *never* got translated as fourteen-days/nights. It makes totall sense :) Now tell me about a furlong... nothing to do with long-haired animalskins, right?

English isn't my native language, and it's actually nice to see proverbs and idioms explained. We get english in school, and get a rough translating from a proverb in our language to english, but it's isn't always the same, and it's often not explained what the explanation of the proverb is, just what it meant (like have your cake and eat it, never understood that one, through I did know what people meant with it).
Same here, still learning. Finally got a lot of the english ones, and now I have start all over with the americans. (I actually got kicked out of fora because they expect you to just understand their cultural references and sensitive spots, but if you innocently use one of you own cultural ones you are 'disrespectful' ,'rude', 'insensitive' etc.etc..

I have a really dumb one. It really clicked in my mind when I was like 10 when I was at a summer zoo camp. I thought to myself, wait, if humans can’t talk to other animals, then other animals can’t talk to other animals. I felt really stupid that I had just only then realized that.

Wait, is that intentional? Is that why Uncle Sam refers to the US government? None of the other comments or the ones in the video got me... But this one...
I think this mistake must be so common that it's becoming correct, because I know I've only ever heard people say "intensive". That's wild. The word "apron" came about the same way; they were originally called "naprons" but everyone heard "a napron" and thought it was "an apron" and after a while it replaced the original.

The dad who named a horse No Name makes the think of the song Horse with No Name. It's ironic because THAT horse (the one the dad named) is literally named No Name. Also the pufferfish one made me think of that enemy that is a pufferfish that sucks Mario in to eat him from the Mario games (the 3D ones).
If you take a Pufferfish out of the water they can indeed pump up with air, but it's really unhealthy for them because they can't let it out easily and are unable to swim that way, leading them to just suffocate to death.

Why did the chicken cross the road To get to the other side It's actually a joke about death, as in the "other side." Maybe people shouldn't tell this one to little kids
That's actually incorrect. "Why did the chicken cross the road" is an anti-joke - the entire joke comes from the fact that there is the setup for a joke, but no punch line. "To get to the other side" is just a statement. It's funny, because it isn't funny. What did the banana say to the orange? Nothing, bananas don't talk. How many dead babies can fit in a bathtub? 17.

It leads to some funny logic. Based on the lyrics of the song, No Name accompanied the horse that the singer rode. (I've been through the desert on a horse WITH No Name, not a horse CALLED No Name.) Because No Name is, actually... a name, lol... Or is it?

That bit with the guy who named animals after other animals reminds me of when my mum got a goldfish and a cat and did the same thing. I also ended up with 2 identical albino rats and named them both Jim, but always noted that their middle names were Kirk and Morrison while never pointing out which was which.
Also I never got the "animal on the farm" bullshit because I ended up burying all 7 of my rats myself. They were super friendly and ended up living above the average rat lifespan.
My Dad was 59-60 years old at the time... One day he came home from work and told us his epiphany: You know the lyrics from 'A Day in the Life' by the Beatles: *"Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up, I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And somebody spoke and I went into a dream"* My Dad explained he always thought the song left out the part where the person got to where he was going, and got off the bus (to go upstairs somewhere). Then he described how he was just driving in the car listening to the song, when he got to that part and he blurted out: *"HE'S STILL ON THE BUS!"* They have double-decker buses in England. :)

I learned not so long ago that it is not normal to cringe when brushing your teeth since your tongue and entire mouth turn deep red and burns for like an hour or so. When I’d complain that brushing my teeth hurt when I was a kid my dad would just tell me it was because I didn’t do a good enough job brushing. My mom would say that it was because I didn’t brush enough. My sister would call me a liar and crybaby. I am 26 years old and didn’t realize I was allergic until I told my dentist a couple months ago that I liked my prescription toothpaste better than my regular toothpaste because it didn’t burn. It had always hurt to the point my eyes would sting with tears. She was shocked no one ever diagnosed me with a toothpaste allergy and told me to stop using any other toothpaste except the prescription one, Clinpro 5000.

I'm 66 and never knew that. Also, when I was little my cat Judy had a kitten we named Punch. Punch was lovely, black while Judy was black and white. Mum and Dad told me Punch went to live at Owenbredin which was my uncles' farm. And when I asked later how he was doing, they told me he was the best ratter on the farm. I've known the expression most of my life, but I'm only now wondering: did Punch die? I mean, he had an older sister, Marmalade, who got run over, and they told me that truthfully. Now I don't know...I mean, do cats even chase rats? Dogs do, and cats chase mice, yes?
