    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!

    Ever wondered why we say hit rock bottom when things go south? Or why being dressed to the nines doesn’t actually require the number nine? This week, we’re diving into some of the strangest and most dramatic phrases in the English language!

    Blood is Thicker than Water – Does this really mean family comes first, or have we been getting it wrong this whole time?
    One Fell Swoop – Shakespeare gave us this gem, but what the heck does a "fell swoop" even look like?

    And of course, we’re closing things out with our brand new, soon-to-be-world-famous game show, Who Said That?! We’ll throw out a famous quote, and you’ll have to guess who said it—will it be a literary legend, a historical icon, or a celebrity who really should’ve thought before speaking?

    So grab your fanciest outfit (or at least pretend you're dressed to the nines), and join us for another hilarious deep dive into the phrases we use every day without questioning!
