Animal Words with No Animal Origins

from Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau · host Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

Did you know that some seemingly animal-related words and phrases have origins that have nothing to do with animals? In today's episode, I offer up the backstory to words such as piggyback, monkey wrench, round robin, and spelling bee.  Thanks for supporting Food for Thought.  Music by Gosta Berling.
