Ubiquitous: The History of Idioms
by Stonegrave Media
He kicked the bucket. She went the whole nine yards. That man is a dead ringer for my brother. We use idioms so much we hardly notice them, let alone wonder where they came from. But, as it turns out, when you start asking questions about how we got the phrases that are ubiquitous today, you get some pretty surprising answers. This is Ubiquitous: The History of Idioms, an etymology podcast that tends to wander into dark, macabre, and strange territory. I do hope you enjoy.
