English, particularly American English, is not only a weird hodgepodge of many other languages and cultures from around the world and at different times, but it is also full of expressions and sayings that, without context, sound like nonsense gibberish. Why do we say these things? What do they mean? And where do these sayings come from? Strap in because we are all in the same boat as we paint the town red in our deep dive about idioms! We had a lot of fun and hopefully you'll think it's oll korrect as well. Recommendations Abraham recommended the 2021 film, Nobody (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7888964/) Shane recommended the 90s pop-punk band, Mock Orange. He even made you a playlist!
