Why Do We Say That? is back for a new season!!!

In this episode, Scott and Liam return with four everyday phrases that have roots in ships, storms, and life at sea: “batten down the hatches,” “high and dry,” “loose cannon,” and “cut and run.”

They also bring back the world famous game show..."Who Said That?"!

From sealing hatches before a storm to cutting anchor lines in an emergency, this episode looks at how old nautical language sailed into modern English and somehow became the way we talk about work, family, chaos, and bad decisions.

Send us the strange phrases you have always wondered about on Instagram and they may end up in a future episode.
