032 - Peter out - Up to Snuff - runway
from Why Do We Say That? · host Phil Chenevert
Wow. Episode 32 is another truly strange one. I tackle the wonderful origins of the phrase 'peter out' and 'up to snuff'. And another question from a truly way out listener is answered; why is it called a 'runway'? when the plane doesn't run at all on it but just kinda rolls. NOTE: Grammar and punctuation in above article is left as an exercise for the reader. Phil does not play the tuba. Allegations about this are unfounded and untrue and he wasn't there anyway. DISCLAIMER: this podcast should be kept in a cool, dry place until used. And please discard any unused portion. Support our sponsor: Codfish.
