Listen "Idiom Origins Gone Wild"
Episode Synopsis
In this hilariously enlightening episode of Squirrel Talk, Mike puts Chris to the test with a list of common idioms — phrases we all use but rarely stop to think about. From "break a leg" to "kick the bucket," Mike reads each idiom aloud, and Chris tries (and usually fails) to guess where it came from and how it was first used. The two go back and forth with wild theories before uncovering the actual origin stories behind these quirky sayings. If you’ve ever wondered why we say someone has “skeletons in the closet” or what it really means to “pull someone’s leg,” this one’s for you. Get ready for laughs, surprises, and a little bit of accidental education. Spoiler alert: Chris was wrong a lot. 🔌 Sponsored by 1Up Electric Need a spark?
