You know, Shayne, every time we try to talk about “phrases we can’t say anymore,” we somehow end up saying all of them… loudly… and usually in the wrong order. But hey, if you can’t laugh at canceled phrases, then bless you. No—wait. Sorry. Gesundheit. Or Jesus. Whatever keeps the internet happy.
Join us for Part 2 of [so many] Phrases You Can't Say anymore. Check out Part 1 that aired back in March.
Round 322

Here’s what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round:
Shayne and Jay dive into another batch of “phrases we can’t say anymore,” starting with the apparently dangerous greeting Merry Christmas. They debate whether anyone is actually offended, invent “Best Witches,” and wonder who decided joy was illegal.
Then they tackle boys will be boys, which somehow leads to dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, and Todd falling out of a tree. They break down I don’t see color, discuss colorblind friends, and remind everyone to lighten up.
Next up: bless you, which is now offensive because… reasons. Shayne shares Spanish sneeze etiquette (“Jesus!”), Jay mispronounces salud, and everyone gets confused.
Finally, they realize the article has way more than 15 phrases, question their counting skills, and decide a part three is inevitable. Because boys will be boys… and podcasters will be podcasters.
