Have you wondered where the sayings; “Got of Scot Free“, “It Costs an Arm & A Leg” or “Naked As A Jaybird” originated from?

But, you never felt completed enough to do the research? Well, here is your chance to learn the origins of those commonly used sayings & phrases with Whole9Yards the Podcast!

Come along on a weekly journey with Jay & Ray, from Big Science Music, on Whole9Yards where they laugh, snort, and explain to you the origin of your commonly used sayings & phrases.

The weekly Whole9Yards journey includes a fun theme; where they dive into the origin, history, and much more on three to five different topics. You’ll find that a lot of these topics do not originate from where you thought they did. Several mistranslations, and a great number of sailing references, who knew?

So today take 15-30 minutes out of your day and give Whole9Yards a listen, learn a little history. Maybe that next virtual trivia night you’ll win because you knew where the phrase “widows peak” came from.

After you take a listen remember to throw them a link and/or subscribe where ever you listen to your podcasts.
