In this solo episode, Mike explores a fun little word called “jabroni” and explains what it means, where it came from, and why it's so interesting. The inspiration for this episode came from an article by Ben Zimmer for the Wall Street Journal. Each week, Ben has a column called “Word on the Street,” and recently, he dove into the meaning and origin of “jabroni.”
When the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game this season, the Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce addressed Cincinnati’s Mayor for having mocked the Chiefs before the game. Kelce said, “Know your role and shut your mouth, you jabroni.” What does this funny word mean, and where did it come from? Tune in to learn more.
Key highlights:
- Mike reads from an article by Ben Zimmer for the Wall Street Journal which covers the interaction between Travis Kelce and Cincinnati’s mayor Aftab Pureval in which Travis called Aftab a “jabroni”
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his use of this word
