This week Shauna and Dan dodge traffic as they explore the phrase, Under the Bus. Even though it is a relatively recent addition to the English language, there are plenty of examples to use! Plus Shauna explains to Dan TicTok jargon, then she fawns over the smell of books.

Join Shauna and Dan as they dive deep into this Latin phrase. Did Caesar really come up with this one? Why is it three neat words in Latin, but twice that in English? Who is better, Nas or Lil Nas X? All that and more on this week's #BunnyTrails

This week Shauna and Dan start with the Old English definition of clouds and work their way through gods, science, and a mansplainy Italian to tell the story of "Head in the Clouds". 

Bonus: An English sheep-shearing de facto dad. Plus Star Trek vs Star Wars. #BunnyTrails

Shauna and Dan are full of joy and whimsy as they tackle a gloomy phrase in Under the Weather. Maybe it means you are sick or maybe it means you are drunk. Or in some rare cases maybe you are having some financial difficulties. But the biggest question of all... does this really have nautical origins? And if so... why do we first see it in print from a Texas Revolutionary? We have some, but not all, the answers on this week's #BunnyTrails!

Which came first, the toaster or sliced bread? I suppose it depends on how you define sliced bread, really. And while there are many things we might say are “the best thing since sliced bread”, I’ve always wondered what was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread? All that and more on this week's #BunnyTrails

Do ever find yourself on social media and someone says something... um... problematic... and you know you just can't let it go? If yes, than you've joined us in pouring oil on the fire.

This week mixes entomology with etymology as Dan explores the phrase Queen Bee. For thousands of years we called them King Bees, despite knowing for a good portion of that time the leader of the honey bee colony was female. Spoiler alert: It's Aristotle's fault. Well, his and everyone else who contributed (and still contributes) to systemic discrimination in nearly all our institutions. But thanks to Charles Butler and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Bee broke free!   We have earworms, Twitter threads, and long book titles in store for this week's Bunny Trails!
