In this episode we "harp boont" and talk about the history of "Boontling;" the secret language of Boonville, California. One of the theories as to how it was created involves adults wanting to discuss taboo topics in front of the youngsters without them knowing what they were saying, so you know we're going to cover some of the words they created to talk about "adult topics." We're definitely going to get PG-13 in this episode.
