Speaker 1: Those old saints, phrases, idioms, you know those things, your
family and friends. They would usually say something that came
from out of nowhere, and it was like, what the
heck are you even talking about? And yet it makes
complete sense. They had to start somewhere, who, what, where, why,
when and how. Some of those old saints are not
only ancient, but still carry a powerful punch even today.
In fact, I live by one of those old saints.
Winning is a choice. That's not a saying to me,
that's a lifestyle. That is a mantra. That is a
way to walk and grow forward. You've heard of the
foot fist way. It is the way. Winning is a choice.
The goal of these episodes is to help preserve not
only a language, but lessons in life. My name is
Arrow Goodie two Shoes. Oh, I remember saying this to
my little sister. Oh, you're being such a goody Goody
two shoes. Now, I'm not shocked. But this is something
that hasn't been new to our livelihood. It actually began
in English literature in the eighteenth century with the children's
book The History of Little Goody two Shoes. In this story,
the main character is a poor orphan girl named Margaret
Meanwell who only owns one shoe. After someone gives her
a complete pair, she shows them off, shouting out two shoes,
two shoes. She grew up leading of her vose life,
meaning having high standards. Bud but but but but but.
How did the meaning of goody two shoes change over
in the years. Well, it made a shift toward mocking
a person in the nineteenth century. If you were coming
across as smug or self righteous, you'd hear stop being
a goody, goodye two shoes. It's kind of like calling
a person a teacher's pet. It's physical act of ribbing
someone for being good all the time. Here's one we
hear today, Are you brown nosing the boss? Deeper research
shows they overlap when being used as a negative, but
are not connected. Goodie two shoes is about being overly good,
whereas a brown noser is someone who sucks up to
another person. It's less about being vervose and more about
self interest. Stop being a goody goody two shoes when
in reality, when the story started it was actually very positive.
It's something our parents would say. My name is Arro,
