Ep. 128 - Cooties and Under the Weather

Mask up, grab your hand sanitizer and join the guys as they look
at the origin and history of the word “Cooties.” 


In this episode, you’ll learn not only about why we all know the
word “Cooties,” but also the history of the game “Cootie,” which
has been around for a surprisingly long time. Hear Steve and
Scott reminisce about simpler times, before the internet, when
the peak of fun was pretending to vaccinate each other at the
lunch table with imaginary needles.


In New Slang, Steve brings us into a world that he immediately
regrets with “Mukbang.” Learn what the word means and why Steve’s
opinion of his fellow man stooped even lower during the research
for this episode, not to mention his triumphant return to the
gym. 


The show wraps up with the origin of the classic idiom, “Under
the Weather,” which has a very satisfying explanation. So heat up
some chicken noodle soup, get under the covers, and hit play on
this cootie-riddled episode of Origin of Speakcies.
