12 - Ew, WW1 Cooties!
from Word Jazz Hosted by Word Jazz
This episode is our first WW1 special, we go into the history of cooties, basket case, booby trap and over the top. Taylor and Sam dig deep into the trenches of other gross words like "trench foot." Heads up, some mild adult language is mentioned the last 5 minutes.
