Will you cut us some slack? And if so, do you know where that phrase comes from? Could you "care less?" Hmm... and is that a good thing or a bad thing?
An episode focused on english and grammar?! We DARE you not to have a laugh and enjoy a good time with my guest today!
Samantha Mazzella is a teacher with her degree in both childhood education and early childhood education. Whether she's surfing in Australia or skydiving above New York, she's always up for an adventure.
She's taught on three continents and joins me to discuss the origins of some well known phrases you use all the time (but probably have no idea where they came from!)
What does it mean to "turn a blind eye?" Did you know there's actually some history there?
Maybe you're looking to enhance a career or start a new one in teaching? Maybe you'd simply like to have some fun stories to tell at the next party you're going to?
We go over somephrases you've definitely heard of but probably don't know where they came from. I definitely learn a thing or two about phrases I've been saying wrong my whole life.
And what the heck is an EGG-corn?!
