Ep. 129 - Feeling Blue, Blue Laws, and Blue Comedy

Elton John will no longer have to guess why they call it the
blues after this episode of Origin of Speakcies. The guys explore
the origin and history of three "blue" terms - Feeling Blue, Blue
Laws, and Blue Comedy - along with the story behind "E-Girl" in
New Slang.


As they explore these terms, there will be sex, drunkenness, a
spiteful Episcopal minister, Tom Hanks, art hoes, Sir Walter
Scott (who is not Sir Walter Raleigh), blue devils, Letters on
Demonology and Witchcraft, Geoffrey Chaucer, and the comedy duo
Leroy and Skillet.


 


And would it be a podcast about words and idioms without Doja
Cat?
