  • サマリー

  • In this episode of "I Didn't Know That", host Chris explores the fascinating origins of commonly used phrases. Phrases discussed include "Raining Cats and Dogs", inspired by 17th-century England flooding or Norse mythology, and "Bite the Bullet", a product of pre-anesthesia warfare. We also discover "Cost an Arm and a Leg" could be tied to 18th-century portrait painting, while "Break the Ice" comes from maritime navigation. The episode delves into "Bury the Hatchet" from Native American customs, "Saved by the Bell", possibly echoing the fear of premature burials or boxing rounds, "Caught Red-Handed", a 15th-century Scottish idiom, and "Let the Cat Out of the Bag", a phrase tied to medieval farmers selling piglets. The episode concludes, encouraging listeners to stay curious and explore language history.
