Speaker 1: Hey, I wanna thank you for finding Arrow dot net

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,839
aar r Oe dot net. It's not a podcast, it's

3
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:10,320
a podcast network that features twenty different podcasts, such as

4
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:13,679
something our parents would say, you know, all those wild

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,160
things that would come from out of nowhere. Believe it

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,559
or not, it's not about the now. These things have

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,559
been around for centuries. Something our parents would say, Only

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,320
on Arrow dot net ar r Oe dot Net. Enjoy

9
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:32,000
your exploration those old sayings, idioms, phrases. You know, the

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,560
things your family and friends usually came up with. And

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,799
it came from out of nowhere, and even sometimes sometimes

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,600
it made sense. But they had to start somewhere, right,

13
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:43,280
I mean, who, what, where, why, when? And how? Some

14
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,240
of these old saints are not only ancient, but they

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,200
still carry a powerful punch even today. In fact, I

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,240
live by one of those old saints. Winning is a choice.

17
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:56,000
The goal of these episodes is to help preserve not

18
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:59,960
only a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow.

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,640
A storm in a tea cup? Huh? Before digging into this,

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,079
let's show some respect to our imaginations for clearly coming

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,280
up with something like a storm in a tea cup.

22
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:16,200
I mean, did people of the past invent a language

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,879
long gone and nearly forgotten. A storm in a tea

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,480
cup It actually means making a big deal out of

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,159
something that's very small. So much emotion, noise, drama, and

26
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,120
other issues unfold while caught up in a storm in

27
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,239
a tea cup. The phrase is very British today, Were

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,200
you shocked? This hails from the nineteenth century. Britain's love

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,359
their tea and it's amazingly valuable to them. Our thoughts

30
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:46,439
can be vast and violent over something. A simple cup

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,280
of tea could have actually calmed down A storm and

32
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:54,040
a cup first made its presence in eighteen seventeen thanks

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,719
to author William Kobey. But but, but but Deeper history

34
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:03,200
uncovers the legendary a Roman writer Serio using it in

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,719
his Latin phrase to stir up waves in a ladle.

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,879
The storm is when you stir. Why does a storm

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120
in a teacup actually work well? It's visual as well

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,439
as understandable. It mocks the use of excess emotions. It

39
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:23,479
fits well with all centuries. People didn't stop using it

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,719
because it's everyday conversation. It's language that evolved around us

41
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,680
rather than finding calm. Though today I think we're investing

42
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:38,719
more in conflict, A storm in a tea cup called conflict.

43
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:42,000
I'm not buying that. Let me go get a cup

44
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,479
of tea. I'm errow. And that's something our parents would say.
