A Boomer and GenXer Walk into a Bar
Sayings, Phrases, and the Stories Behind Our Everyday Expressions S:1 E:34
Step into the Rabbit Hole Studio where mother-daughter duo Jane and Bobbi Joy unravel the strange, confusing, and often hilariously misunderstood world of common sayings and phrases. Their generational perspectives create a perfect backdrop for exploring how language evolves, confuses, and connects us.
The conversation weaves through regional peculiarities (like Midwesterners giving directions based on restaurant locations), commonly butchered expressions ("for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes"), and generation-specific slang that leaves the other bewildered. Jane and Bobbi's natural rapport shines as they playfully tease each other while sharing linguistic pet peeves and favorite expressions.
Whether you're a language lover, someone who appreciates intergenerational perspectives, or simply enjoy authentic, entertaining conversation, this episode delivers thoughtful insights wrapped in humor and warmth. Listen now to discover the surprising origins behind everyday phrases and maybe pick up some new expressions to confuse your friends and family!

welcome 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 2:Hello, bobbi. Hello, how's it going down there at the other end of the studio?
Speaker 1:It's going good, other than I have a feeling my back's going to hurt from carrying this show.
Speaker 2:Oh, Well, at least you'll know what it feels like. You know Buck up put that brace on here we go.
Speaker 1:It's a give and take.
Speaker 2:Well, since you think you're going to be carrying it, what is our topic today, bobby?
Speaker 1:So 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 2:Sayings 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 1:that, 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 2:They'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 1:I'll start out.
Speaker 2:I've said some pretty weird stuff in my lifetime, so let's see what you got. Well, you know the dementia. See if it shows up on my list. Yeah, dementia's coming. Okay, easy there.
Speaker 1:Buckwheat. 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 2:Does that mean to push someone to their limit?
Speaker 1:No, cover your ears, kids. It means having sex with somebody. What?
Speaker 2:Pushing someone to the store? Yeah, he's pushing her to the store. Did you know that? You did he did.
Speaker 1:yes, oh my goodness. I've never heard it before.
Speaker 2:I've never heard that before. You've never heard that no.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. I'm polite around you.
Speaker 2:You're polite around me he's polite around you.
Speaker 1:You're polite around me.
Speaker 2:I've heard his jokes Otherwise on the street.
Speaker 1:Trash mouth. That's so great.
Speaker 3:And there's a couple.
Speaker 1:You 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 2:I 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 1:Like 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 2:You got your chest pumped up, you're all out there and you're going to go with it.
Speaker 3:Okay, all right?
Speaker 2:Well, I get that. I, you know, mine are really old though.
Speaker 1:Okay, like she's the bee's knees, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2:How did you know that? Are you looking at my computer? How did you know that? Do you know what that means?
Speaker 1:It means that she's just great. Oh my gosh, she's the greatest.
Speaker 2:She's the greatest.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Yeah, I don't even know what that one means. It just means a little Little thing.
Speaker 1:Usually 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 2:So what about it's like herding kittens. Oh yeah, see, I went with dwarves, you went with grasshoppers.
Speaker 3:We're not the same, so what?
Speaker 2:about. 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 1:Oh yeah, what's that mean?
Speaker 2:That 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 1:Yeah and, and my twist on that is you catch more flies with honey than with shit.
Speaker 2:So is that really true?
Speaker 1:I 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 2:unless 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 1:I mean, you killed me once, but you woke me back up. It's fine, did you?
Speaker 2:die, 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 1:So, 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 2:That 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 1:Yeah, 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 2:We 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 1:Casey's store, the third Casey's in town.
Speaker 2:Everything for us in the Midwest is directional based on the food location.
Speaker 1:Or 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 2:Now 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 1:Right I grew up out in the country so to doctor domain cityfain, Countryfied, then cityfied and then countryfied again.
Speaker 2:We 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 1:There is no address.
Speaker 2:Now 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 1:Yes, 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 2:Yeah, 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 1:Here'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 2:So 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 2:You 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 2:They 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 1:They were dying from infections, sepsis, things like that. Yeah, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2:And so it was quite interesting how that happened.
Speaker 3:So was there a saying coming to this Like wash your hands or get gangrene?
Speaker 1:No, that was the bite, the bullet thing.
Speaker 2:No, 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 1:You might want to try to keep up. She wandered.
Speaker 3:She wandered, George. I tried to pull her in.
Speaker 1:I know, get back on topic. Okay, okay, give her so much rope.
Speaker 3:So, here's one.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:rooting 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 2:They're just rooting around down there, oh my God.
Speaker 1:Why does all of these sound like an ambulance at this point?
Speaker 2:I can't help it. I can't help it, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Let'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 2:Are you ready? I'm ready, sister.
Speaker 1:All 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 2:Is it Dr Domain I?
Speaker 1:can't play this Dr Domain, he ain't in this.
Speaker 2:No, he knows the Bible better than anybody. I know, I know, I think that's in Psalms.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it sounds like it's in Psalms, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yep, 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 1:It'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 2:to be dealing with someone that you know exactly perfect stranger that you don't know they're exactly.
Speaker 1:You 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 2:Let me think this could take a while. We don't have all that time.
Speaker 1:Go 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 2:That's one that made me go.
Speaker 1:Hmm, 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 1:they 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 2:Yes, I, I just had a lot of people, a lot of people use this.
Speaker 1:As 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 2:no, 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 1:Yeah, it's kind of weird.
Speaker 2:What do you got Dr Domain?
Speaker 3:Well, 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 1:flip that switch or hey google shut off the light what you would say turn it on right yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. Well, what I typically hear down south is cut that on or cut it off.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, that's true, that's a big one, or maybe?
Speaker 2:could. 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.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I have to stand there for a minute and go. What did that just mean?
Speaker 1:what were you trying to say?
Speaker 2:yeah, what were you gonna say dr domain?
Speaker 3:I 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 1:That's a popular one, yeah it'd be, tall corn here, I guess, yeah, it's tall weeds and my dad.
Speaker 3:My dad was a master of slaughtering the english language. I had a 78 um pinto.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was a fine automobile it was a station wagon, it was even rare.
Speaker 3:It was rare and the station wagon had a luggage rack on it. It's pretty that was.
Speaker 1:It was a chick magnet.
Speaker 3:Oh 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 1:I 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 3:But your dad. I think we butchered the language too oh yeah, misconstrued things, but your dad used to.
Speaker 2:Your 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 3:no, oh nice suitors. Is that the one?
Speaker 1:nice he ain't talking about the owls oh yeah no no um, if you got it no, that's not no
Speaker 2:your 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 3:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:I want to keep moving. I want it to wear out.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:Yeah, that drives me nuts. Oh man, it works. It works well, especially in business.
Speaker 3:It 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 1:yeah, so you're suggesting that yeah I shouldn't have trusted anything you said yeah up to that point.
Speaker 3:Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:Oh, 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 2:One of the other corporate things is we'll take this offline.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we'll put that in the parking lot. Yeah, we'll put that in the parking lot.
Speaker 2:And 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 3:They don't want the confrontation.
Speaker 1:See, 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 2:Yeah, this could have been a text message to me.
Speaker 3:Or it is what it is. What kind of stupid ass double talk is that?
Speaker 1:I say it all the time it is what it is. It is what it is.
Speaker 3:It's meaningless.
Speaker 1:It's kind of a moniker.
Speaker 3:I. If you think about it, it's meaningless.
Speaker 1:Well, no, it's kind of a moniker. I am who I am.
Speaker 2:People have given up. I am who I am. It is what it is. It's like take it or leave it, you know.
Speaker 1:It basically means you can't do nothing about it. It is what it is.
Speaker 2:There'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 1:Eat it while it's hot, right away. What are?
Speaker 3:the best times to eat pie.
Speaker 1:Is when pie is served when it's served.
Speaker 3:I'd rather have pie than crow.
Speaker 1:That's like a double entendre.
Speaker 2:Have you ever heard a double entendre?
Speaker 1:bobby, 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 2:I 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 1:pig 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 2:It'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 1:like 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 2:I'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 1:Yeah, like get over it.
Speaker 2:My car broke down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:I've heard it was really intensive.
Speaker 1:It 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 3:Yes, 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 1:But no, that's not what they're inferring, that's not what they're trying to say.
Speaker 2:Irregardless.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Because 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 1:Now 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 2:Well, 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 1:Yeah, 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 2:It'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 1:Oh, 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?
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh Folks, it's dog eat dog world yeah. Isn't that the?
Speaker 3:saying it's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing milk bone underwear or something like that.
Speaker 2:God, I've never heard that.
Speaker 3:But thank you for sharing Now we're going to be thinking about.
Speaker 2:Now, if anybody ever says that again, we're going to be thinking of dog bone underwear Forever.
Speaker 1:That's seared into my mind, thank you. I would like some unsee eye drops, thank you. How about beck and call beck and call yeah, yeah, yeah. How about taking something for granite? Where are we on rock world?
Speaker 2:no, we want quartz, instead we want quartz.
Speaker 1:We're, we're on, we're on granite world. It's taking something for granted and enunciate please, yes, or this one's my favorite butt naked, butt naked, it's buck naked, thank you, thank you.
