Grasping At Straws

Volley.FM presents Daily Funny Word History

A fun, daily podcast that will help expand your vocabulary knowledge, learn common English colloquialisms, useful words, definitions, origins (etymology), and examples of how to use them.

American English is full of very weird words, expressions, phrases, and slang. But how often do we use a word without knowing what it really means or where it came from? Words and phrases like ghetto, funk, stool pigeon, or kick the bucket? 

We use these all the time, but you’ll never guess where most of them came from and what they originally meant
