Episode Introduction
Speaker 1welcome everyone to today's show. A boomer and a gen x are walking to a bar, coming to you from the rabbit hole studio, where you, as our listener, will experience some wit and wisdom, some smart assery and a mother and daughter questioning. Are we even related? My name is bobbi Joy and my co-host is my mom, jane, and we are here to entertain for a little while.
Speaker 2Hello, bobbi. Hello, how's it going down there at the other end of the studio?

Speaker 1It's a give and take.
Speaker 2Well, since you think you're going to be carrying it, what is our topic today, bobby?
Speaker 1So our topic? Well, I guess I don't really know what the topic is, but the content is going to be sayings and phrases.
Speaker 2Sayings and phrases. Okay. So weird ones, strange, strange ones, ones that we use commonly that ones that we kind of misuse. Why are we using?
Speaker 1that, yeah, and ones that people misuse, because there's a lot of that going around lately and that just grinds my gears that they do not know what that means, nor do they know what the word that they just used means. Well, not only that, they're just, they're saying it wrong.
Speaker 2They're saying it wrong Like come on Well let's talk about what we're talking about, then I'll let you start. You got one that you had in mind.
Speaker 1I'll start out.
Strange Sayings and Misused Phrases

Speaker 1Buckwheat. So I'm going to start out hard and fast right here. I'm going to start out with my wildest one and I'm going to see if you know what it means. Okay, oh gosh, this ought to. That'd be interesting. Do you know what it means when someone is pushing someone to the store? Pushing someone to the store Dr Domain might know this, sorry, he's been a Southerner for a little while now. But do you know what it means to push someone to the store?
Speaker 2Does that mean to push someone to their limit?
Speaker 1No, cover your ears, kids. It means having sex with somebody. What?
Speaker 2Pushing someone to the store? Yeah, he's pushing her to the store. Did you know that? You did he did.
Speaker 1yes, oh my goodness. I've never heard it before.

Speaker 1You're polite around me.
Speaker 2I've heard his jokes Otherwise on the street.
Speaker 1Trash mouth. That's so great.
Speaker 3And there's a couple.
Speaker 1You know that we, you and I, had talked about in text Because I had made A post on our Facebook page and I said what the heck does that mean?
Speaker 2I don't even get it. You did. Do you remember what it said? I thought you used the wrong, the wrong word. Do you remember what it said?
Speaker 1Like something about pushing your chest or no saying something with your whole chest with your whole chest, yeah, yep, okay, and that means, and that means saying something you're a hundred percent behind, like you're going to say it with 100% confidence, you're going to belt it out there and you're not going to apologize for it.
Speaker 2You got your chest pumped up, you're all out there and you're going to go with it.
Speaker 3Okay, all right?
Speaker 2Well, I get that. I, you know, mine are really old though.
Speaker 1Okay, like she's the bee's knees, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2How did you know that? Are you looking at my computer? How did you know that? Do you know what that means?
Speaker 1It means that she's just great. Oh my gosh, she's the greatest.
Speaker 2She's the greatest.
Speaker 1I like her. I like her and one that you know your mother and father Used to use was the old Knee high to a grasshopper.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't even know what that one means. It just means a little Little thing.
Speaker 1Usually referring to kids and not, you know, just little people. Oh see, I went with dwarves, you went with grasshoppers. We're not the same.
Speaker 2So what about it's like herding kittens. Oh yeah, see, I went with dwarves, you went with grasshoppers.
Speaker 3We're not the same, so what?
Speaker 2about. It's like herding kittens. Oh yeah, yeah, I use that a lot. It's like herding kittens, you know. That's when it's a tough job to do because everybody's going every which way, or the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, what's that mean?
Speaker 2That means that the one that's the loudest and the one is the most obnoxious usually gets the most attention I've tried this one on you and you just this goes in one ear and out the other, or else it goes right over your head and shaves it sometimes that's why I wear, that's why I wear a hat with my bill up, so I can catch those you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar sister.
Speaker 1Yeah and, and my twist on that is you catch more flies with honey than with shit.
Speaker 2So is that really true?
Speaker 1I don't know, yeah, I mean they, they really like the poop, but they really love that honey, yeah okay, yeah, so, um, I you know we should have looked up where these actually came from well originated them because some of them are super, super old but, honestly, you really think that they're going to be honest about where they came from? I mean, these phrases have been passed around for generations and I mean, who really, who knows where these things?
Speaker 2unless it's a biblical phrase, you're not really gonna get where, where it's coming from so I remember using this one and, of course, you know you've already inferred that I beat you kids, which you know inferred. You know it's like okay well, that's out in the open. But you know a beat. Every single one of you Gen Xers think that you were beat to death, so go with that.
Speaker 1I mean, you killed me once, but you woke me back up. It's fine, did you?
Speaker 2die, but did you die? But did you die, but did you die? One that I always used with you kids was I brought you into this world, I will take you out. I will have another one and name it the same. No one will ever know, yep.
Speaker 1So, yeah, I did use that one quite a bit, oh, like daily with me and my sister. But I mean, honestly, what are you to do? What are you going to do with us? How about as the crow flies? That's an old one.
Speaker 2That is an old one, or up around the bend. You know I I still use those. I mean, I say up around the bend, or I say up up the road a piece. And you know, dr domain knows I use that because every time I do he's like, oh my gosh, she is such a hillbilly redneck. I think that's what he thinks because he looks at me like but I do Because we used to use it as kids. We're going up the road a piece, or we're going around the bend.
Speaker 1Yeah, and that's a big Midwest thing and I actually did look that up. It is a Midwestern thing. We measure distance in time rather than in actual distance. So we're talking down the road little ways away, few hours away. We don't say, oh, it's 400 miles away.
Speaker 2We say I take you a few hours, but that's like in, and I don't know how everybody else is, but here in the midwest we give our directions based on our food location, so it isn't go two miles down the road and turn north or anything like no, we don't use go down the road until you see the mcdonald's. Keep on going another short distance and then you're gonna see the taco bell and you're gonna turn left at the taco bell now once you turn left at the taco bell, keep, keep going until you get to the.
Speaker 1Casey's store, the third Casey's in town.
Speaker 2Everything for us in the Midwest is directional based on the food location.
Speaker 1Or the sideshows as I call them, like hey, you go down the road, you see this big white cow on a post, you're going to take a right, and then, when you get, down to the horse with only three post, you're going to take a right and then, when you get down to the horse with only three legs, you want to take a left, and then you're going to go down to where old ed used to live.
Speaker 2Now that house torn down now, but that's where he used to live and, uh, you're going to turn, turn right there and then go down to his cousin's place. The tractor's parked out in the front yard, so you'll be sure to see that. Um, you know, I got to tell you this story, though, because we were kind of city folk right. Um, until I was country you, me, your sister, oh yeah yeah, so for a little bit until I was countryfied.
Speaker 1Right I grew up out in the country so to doctor domain cityfain, Countryfied, then cityfied and then countryfied again.
Speaker 2We did work for some farmers when we used to walk beans or we would do tassel corn or we'd throw hay, or sometimes we had to muck barns, things like that. But I remember that when I was living on the farm and I moved to the farm, initially being a city girl for quite some time during that, you know, before that I was told to you know, go to this location to pick somebody up because they were done farming for the day, and you move from farm to farm right throughout the day. And I said, well, what's the address? And he said you know, go down here to the second road, you know the second gravel road, and then you're going to go two and a half miles and then you're going to turn left or turn north and then you're going to end. Everything was in miles. And I said just tell me the address.
Speaker 1There is no address.
Curious Midwestern Directions
Speaker 2Now I got to tell you I truly thought everything had a like an address. Right now they have location numbers, which is your range, um, township, right range, section, that sort of thing. Everyone but who's gonna look that up did. I said, well, just give me the address. And it was like are you an idiot? There is no address. And one thing that people would realize about Iowa, which is different down in Georgia especially, or down in some of the southern states, is our miles are pretty straight and everything is sectioned off by miles.
Speaker 1Yes, and so that's kind of you got a country mile and you got a city mile and they are different, they're different, but they they're typically kind of a straight shot.
Speaker 2Yeah, now you go a mile in georgia and that's going to be a windy road that, you know, goes back in the hills and down the hills and that sort of thing, and it's a lot different. You know, it's a lot different than a straight shot. But anyway, I just had to tell you that story because I thought it was funny so here's one.
Speaker 1Here's one that can actually be traced back. Bite the bullet? Oh, that must be for pain. It is. Yeah, it is because they would have them bite on a bullet for pain because, you know, back during the civil war and things like that, they didn't have enough pain medication to go around, they didn't have the proper pain medication and a lot of times, if they got hit by, say, cannon fire, they had very little time to get that limb taken off in order to save a life, and so they would have them bite a bullet you know what I had.
Speaker 2So I had seen a documentary about that and you know, of course, they use a lot of alcohol. You know, give it to people and say, take this drink, and you know, of course, they use a lot of alcohol.
Speaker 2You know, give it to people and say, take this drink, and you know, shut up right um, but one of the things that actually killed people wasn't the injury itself, it was the infection. It was the infection from the fact that they didn't wash their you know their, their- their tools, their tools, whatever they were their hands, their tools they didn't have time for that, and so those, those hospitals that did that did have the water supplies available.
Speaker 2They weren't using fresh water for every patient. No, we're just bringing bowls of water, big bowl. They'd swish it around a little bit and then they would go back, and so a lot of people were really just dying from gangrene, they were dying from infections, they were seps, and so a lot of people were really just dying from gangrene.
Speaker 1They were dying from infections, sepsis, things like that. Yeah, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2And so it was quite interesting how that happened.
Speaker 3So was there a saying coming to this Like wash your hands or get gangrene?
Speaker 1No, that was the bite, the bullet thing.
Speaker 2No, it was just a lesson in hygiene. You might want to try to keep up. She wandered. It was just a lesson in hygiene.
Speaker 1You might want to try to keep up. She wandered.
Speaker 3She wandered, George. I tried to pull her in.
Speaker 1I know, get back on topic. Okay, okay, give her so much rope.
Speaker 3So, here's one.
Speaker 2You guys are what? Here's one, and this is going to lead to something else. Quit poking around and hurry up. Or have you ever heard someone saying you're?
Speaker 1rooting around down there. You know, I thought after the sex worker one that we were not going to be like broaching this topic here and here we are.
Speaker 2They're just rooting around down there, oh my God.
Speaker 1Why does all of these sound like an ambulance at this point?
Speaker 2I can't help it. I can't help it, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1Let's bring it back to a more pure nature here. Okay, let's bring it back to a more pure nature here, and so I have a few that are actually aimed more towards you. Oh my gosh, they're more of scripture, sayings or sayings that came out of scripture.
Speaker 2Are you ready? I'm ready, sister.
Speaker 1All right. So let me see if you know this one Speak of the devil and he shall come. Psalms See, I can't play this game with you.
Speaker 2Is it Dr Domain I?
Speaker 1can't play this Dr Domain, he ain't in this.
Speaker 2No, he knows the Bible better than anybody. I know, I know, I think that's in Psalms.
Speaker 3Yeah, it sounds like it's in Psalms, yeah.
Speaker 1Yep, and another one is better the devil that you know than the devil that you don't. You know that almost sounds like it's in um joe maybe. Oh, that could be, I don't have that one written down? I didn't actually go into that. But you know these are just ones that came from from scripture readings and things like that around with you get what you're asking for well, and it is.
Speaker 1It's the you know better the devil that you know than the one. You don't. Better to be in a shitty situation that you already know about than to. You don't better to be in a shitty situation that you already know about than to take that step, or?
Speaker 2to be dealing with someone that you know exactly perfect stranger that you don't know they're exactly.
Speaker 1You don't know their intentions, yeah, or the here's one that people often just stop at. So I've got a few that people stop at and they don't actually know the entire phrase, so they use it wrong. Okay, curiosity killed the cat. Do you know the rest of that one?
Speaker 2Let me think this could take a while. We don't have all that time.
Speaker 1Go ahead then. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. Oh, Now these are ones that people I mean they stop before they really get to it.
Speaker 2That's one that made me go.
Speaker 1Hmm, yeah, yep and people say, you know, curiosity killed the cat as a way to get you to, to not be curious, to not take that step forward, to not, you know, dig into something if you don't have but, satisfaction brought it back.
Speaker 1they keep cutting that out because they don't want you to know that. Yeah, how about this one? I know you know this one. Blood is thicker than water. Yeah, that's one that's used wrong all the time. Do you know the entire saying no, go ahead. The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb?
Speaker 2Yes, I, I just had a lot of people, a lot of people use this.
Speaker 1As you know, blood is thicker than water. Saying that you know you should always have family, you should always back your family, your family's, everything they don't know the full saying, because that is not what it's saying that is not what it's saying at all.
Speaker 2no, that's a. That's a good one, bobby, yeah, I, I didn't know the rest. I mean I remember that one now that you say it, yeah, but the other ones I didn't know that.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's kind of weird.
Speaker 2What do you got Dr Domain?
Speaker 3Well, I don't think that's too far off, though. What do you mean? I mean the way that it's used biblically and the to touch that switch over there. What would you tell me to do to make the lights come on? What would you say go?
Speaker 1flip that switch or hey google shut off the light what you would say turn it on right yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah. Well, what I typically hear down south is cut that on or cut it off.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah, that's true, that's a big one, or maybe?
Speaker 2could. Maybe could they use, maybe could a lot, maybe should. Yeah, we're going to go down. Maybe, could come on over later tonight. Yeah, yeah.
Phrases People Get Wrong
Speaker 1I should Honestly I should have spent more time thinking about it, because we did live in the South and we lived right along the Louisiana and Arkansas border. Yeah, now let me tell you what. Those are two totally different worlds when it comes to people and how they speak and what they say, because Louisiana is a huge Creole community and Arkansas is more just basic southern. I don't know what else to say in texas is just texas. Yeah, so I mean it was. It was a blend of things down there and and yeah, there was a lot of stuff to learn about how people were talking sometimes somebody will say something.
Speaker 2I have to stand there for a minute and go. What did that just mean?
Speaker 1what were you trying to say?
Speaker 2yeah, what were you gonna say dr domain?
Speaker 3I was just saying I mean, there's a lot of phrases down south that probably don't make their way up north, but uh, like you're, you're in talk, like we're in tall cotton yeah, yeah that's.
Speaker 1That's a popular one, yeah it'd be, tall corn here, I guess, yeah, it's tall weeds and my dad.
Speaker 3My dad was a master of slaughtering the english language. I had a 78 um pinto.
Speaker 2Oh, it was a fine automobile it was a station wagon, it was even rare.
Speaker 3It was rare and the station wagon had a luggage rack on it. It's pretty that was.
Speaker 1It was a chick magnet.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, and I came home and it was smoking and the belt was off it and I was all tore up and dad looked at it and he always said this when something didn't look right. And he goes and I never hear anyone else say this but my dad and he says hmm, that doesn't turn queer and ate itself. I've heard that, unfortunately, have.
Speaker 1I don't hear it too much, but that was his, that was his way of saying I think that's a that's a time thing too, because they're they're not so apt to say things like that up here anymore, because you know, you know well, because they dig it too literally yes instead of laughing at yourself and laughing at what you're saying.
Speaker 3But your dad. I think we butchered the language too oh yeah, misconstrued things, but your dad used to.
Speaker 2Your dad had a saying too, that that you shared with me and I now use on a regular basis, and that is like when we're talking about parts of the body, like I've had a new hip. My knee hurts, you know, I play pickleball still I'm. I'm as active as I can be, and so is dr domain and people have is that the phrase he uses?
Speaker 3no, oh nice suitors. Is that the one?
Speaker 1nice he ain't talking about the owls oh yeah no no um, if you got it no, that's not no
Speaker 2your dad never said that to me no, you say that stuff to me all the time, that those are dr domain's sayings, that he says to me all the time. But no, I you know. People have said to me when are you going to slow down? I mean, you know you're getting up there in age and I have said I'd rather wear it out than rust it out.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2I want to keep moving. I want it to wear out.
Speaker 1So you know one that really annoys me, and I had an ex that used it all the time and it was just. It was basically his moniker for bad behavior. It all the time and it was just, it was basically his moniker for bad behavior and it was the it's better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Speaker 2Yeah, that drives me nuts. Oh man, it works. It works well, especially in business.
Speaker 3It might work, I mean it might work but, oh man, I just wanted to elbow drop him every time he said that well there's, I think, the where the worst phrases come from are in the corporate world. The stupidest, dumbest things come out of boardrooms yes, and it were like well, this isn't necessarily at work, but I hear this a lot. To be honest with you, what the hell? So you weren't honest with me before?
Speaker 1yeah, so you're suggesting that yeah I shouldn't have trusted anything you said yeah up to that point.
Speaker 3Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1Oh, to be honest with you, okay, you know that's the thing that um law enforcement uses in order to suss out when they're doing interviews with people. If they say well, honestly, well, truthfully, well, I'm gonna be honest with you. Yeah, they know they're full of shit, right there, immediately, immediately.
Speaker 2One of the other corporate things is we'll take this offline.
Speaker 3Yeah, we'll put that in the parking lot. Yeah, we'll put that in the parking lot.
Speaker 2And it's like you brought it up and now, all of a sudden, we're going to take this offline. No, what's in here?
Speaker 3They don't want the confrontation.
Speaker 1See, my favorite corporate one is when I look at them and say in a meeting, I look at them and say this could have been an email.
Speaker 2Yeah, this could have been a text message to me.
Speaker 3Or it is what it is. What kind of stupid ass double talk is that?
Speaker 1I say it all the time it is what it is. It is what it is.
Speaker 3It's meaningless.
Speaker 1It's kind of a moniker.
Speaker 3I. If you think about it, it's meaningless.
Speaker 1Well, no, it's kind of a moniker. I am who I am.
Speaker 2People have given up. I am who I am. It is what it is. It's like take it or leave it, you know.
Speaker 1It basically means you can't do nothing about it. It is what it is.
Speaker 2There's another one strike while the iron's hot, which I do, like that, yeah. Or along those same lines is, if you're going to eat crow, eat it while it's hot, yeah. So you know, if you made a mistake and you have to eat crow, Own up to it. Right away.
Speaker 1Eat it while it's hot, right away. What are?
Speaker 3the best times to eat pie.
Speaker 1Is when pie is served when it's served.
Speaker 3I'd rather have pie than crow.
Speaker 1That's like a double entendre.
Speaker 2Have you ever heard a double entendre?
Speaker 1bobby, you know the fact that you even said that phrase. Do you even know what that means? I do. It means a phrase that has two meanings. So it could mean one thing and then, but it could also have, like a, an undertone of a meaning did you look that up before?
Speaker 2I did not actually, I went to college for something there's a saying out there that says don't buy a pig and a poke. What's that mean? Don't buy a pig in a poke? What's that mean? Don't buy a?
Speaker 1pig in a poke don't buy a pig in a poke. Pig in a poke is a pig in a cow, ain't it? Pig in a poke, oh, in a poke not. And a poke, no. Pig in a poke, oh, don't buy a pig. No, I have no idea.
Speaker 2It's really foolishly accepting something or buying something without examining it and doing your due diligence first. Don't buy a pig in a poke. Oh like like without, without, without seeing it without seeing it, without investigating, you know, and sometimes you know it's if you know it sounds too good to be true, right? So like?
Speaker 1like these people who do the online dating and have never met in real life, and then all of a sudden they want to fly them in from overseas and say I want to marry you the first day you get here.
Speaker 2I've been online with them for three years and I've sent them $30,000. And 14 times they were supposed to buy a plane ticket with it, but their mother died twice. Their grandmother had knee surgery 14 times, and their dad made by five cars.
Speaker 1Yeah, like get over it.
Speaker 2My car broke down.
Speaker 1Yeah, so let's move into uh phrases like people use wrong versus what they actually are. Now I know I kind of touched on that. So people will say for all intensive purposes. I know Now these are phrases where I just look at them for a second because my mind is going did I just hear what I think I heard? And then at the same time it's going they can't be this dumb.
Speaker 2I've heard it was really intensive.
Regional Pronunciation Differences
Speaker 1It was intensive, yeah, it was a purpose it's for all intents and purposes, say it with me, folks, come on. Another one is I could care less, I couldn't care less. Thank you.
Speaker 3Yes, I couldn't care less. Thank you I hate that. Why can't you care less, though I could. But that's not the intent. That's what you're inferring yeah.
Speaker 1But no, that's not what they're inferring, that's not what they're trying to say.
Speaker 2Irregardless.
Speaker 1I think Irregardless drives me nuts. Oh my goodness, I'll use it on purpose. Just piss people off, you either mean irrespective or something regardless.
Speaker 2Because if it's irregardless, regardless is to the contrary, Irregardless, Correct. Because if it's irregardless, regardless is to the contrary. And now you're back 360, you know 380.
Speaker 1Now this one's used in the opposite way and it's used on the news every night. I swear to God and I just want to come through the TV and smack somebody. Near miss versus near hit.
Speaker 2Well, you know, that's an old industry term. We used it too and I used to say you know, let me explain what a near miss is. It's a near hit. They almost got you.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but they're like oh well, it was a near hit and they're not meaning exactly what they think they're saying. Or oh, it was a near miss on this and you know okay. Well then, that means that they hit it Right. That does not mean that they missed it Right, and it's constantly used incorrectly it is.
Speaker 2It's been used in the industry occupational. You know incidents for years and years, and years and I always tried to fight that. Let me tell you what a near miss actually is. It's a near hit.
Speaker 1Oh, drives me nuts. Yeah, how about nip it in the butt? I got my butt nipped. Nip it in the butt. It's nipping in the bud. Bud, bud, not butt. How about this one Doggy dog world?
