Hello Friends!
In this episode of Why Do We Say That?, we’re diving into some truly morbid, mysterious, and downright sneaky phrases! Ever wondered why we kick the bucket when we die? Or how the writing on the wall could seal your fate? And what’s with turning a blind eye—is that just selective vision or a strategic move? Plus, we’re burying the hatchet (but not in each other) as we explore the origins of these quirky sayings!
And, of course, our newly world-famous game show (yes, we’re calling it that now): "Who Said That?" returns with another round of quotable confusion!
Don’t forget our Word of the Day, because if you leave this episode without learning something, we’ll be turning a blind eye to your excuses.
Hit play now, and let’s get idiomatic!
