1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Those old saints, phrases, idioms, you know those things your

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,040
family and friends said that usually came from out of nowhere,

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,039
and only sometimes they actually made sense. They had to

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,759
start somewhere, Who, what, where, why, when and how. Some

5
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,240
of those old saints are not only ancient, but still

6
00:00:15,279 --> 00:00:18,280
carry a powerful punch today. I happen to live by

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,679
one of those old saints. Winning is a choice. The

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,199
goal of these episodes is to help preserve not only

9
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:27,519
a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,479
for Pete's Sakes or for the love of Pete. It's

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,200
a form of expression that is used when frustrated, annoyed,

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,039
or you feel a sense of urgency. The name Pete

13
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:43,159
is a euphemism for God or Christ. The phrase for

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,560
Pete's Sake was created to put us in a place

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,240
of not using the Lord's name in Vain. I always

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,479
thought my mother had a side fred and didn't want

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,079
us to know who Pete was. But we always asked her, mom,

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,840
who is Pete? What is Pete? Some people believe it

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,159
was connected to Saint Pete. He was one of the

20
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:02,280
twelve apostles of Jesus and looked upon by so many

21
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,079
for being the first ever pope. Now, if you're not

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,879
into using Pete's name in vain, you can always say

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,879
for Heaven's sake, for crying out loud, or as my

24
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:15,120
grandmother would say, for goodness sakes. For Pete's sakes comes

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,680
from the early part of the nineteen hundreds. It's said

26
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,840
to have originated right here in the United States. Over

27
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,560
the years, the name Pete has been replaced by Mike, Mikey,

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,560
or Michael, once again connected to another saint. I do

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920
wonder what would happen if we replace Pete and Michael's

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,319
name with our name. For Arrow's sake, Hm, I'm not

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,159
totally buying into that one. I'm gonna stick to Pete's sake,

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,319
something our parents would say.
