Ep. 140 - Boycott and Hillbilly

Time to boil some potatoes and crack open a pint of your favorite
Irish Stout in honor of St. Patrick's Day! In this episode, Scott
tells the true story of the origin of the term "Boycott," and the
guys discuss some successful and not so successful boycotts of
the past.


In this episode's New Slang segment, Steve explains the origins
of "Bussin" and introduces us to not one, but two Tays (Scott
adds a third Tay for good measure). Listen now to find out why
the word "Bussin" could be considered taboo for hillbillies like
Scott to use.


Speaking of hillbillies, the second term in the St. Patty's Day
episode is "Hillbilly." In this segment, Scott explains why he's
had to update his favorite racial slur. But first the guys
discuss eponyms, which is a term which comes from the name of a
person, and try and decide what they would like their eponyms to
be.


So top of the morning to ya, and keep your dirty hands of me
lucky charms, you hillbilly! Happy St. Patrick's Day from Origin
of Speakcies!
