Poppycock, Balderdash and Other Fun Things To Say

GamerDude has always been a fan of language, words and phrases, and the odder the better. He is, for lack of a better term, a "word nerd," and in this episode, he shares some stories about some of the more interesting words and phrases he's come across and enjoyed over the years.  He talks about where "poppycock" and "balderdash" came from, and tells the origin story for his Twitch stream's favorite word: chum. (Spoiler alert: it's short for "chamber-fellow.")  He also talks about some other odd phrases, like "knock on wood," "getting down to brass tacks," and "letting the cat out of the bag."  He also explains how "hush puppies" got their name, how you can actually get "cooties," and many others.  If you enjoy words and language, you'll enjoy these stories!
