1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Those old saints, phrases, idioms, you know, those things your

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,120
family and friends would come up with, and it usually

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,160
came from out of nowhere. Here's the thing. They didn't

4
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:11,759
even make sense half the time, but they had to

5
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:15,199
start somewhere. Who, what, where, why, when and how. Some

6
00:00:15,279 --> 00:00:17,760
of those old sayings are not only ancient, but still

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,239
carry a powerful punch today. In fact, I live by

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,320
one of those old saints. Winning is a choice. The

9
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:25,920
goal of these episodes is to help preserve not only

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,199
a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow.

11
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:34,880
My pet peeve. Oh, I over use that term so much,

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,479
My pet peeve. This one comes from my very creative

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,920
friend Todd Carlson, who has caught himself several times saying

14
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:46,079
my pet peeve. He admits his pet peeve. It's people

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,679
who say my pet peeve. It's a noun, this thing

16
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,960
called peeve. It means annoyance and is believed to have

17
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:56,560
arrived in America in the twentieth century. It's actually the

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,159
next level of the word peevish from the fourteenth century.

19
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,880
Honorey Ill tempered. The term pet peeve was introduced to

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,920
a wide readership of the Chicago Tribune between nineteen sixteen

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,879
and nineteen twenty by way of a comic strip called

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,560
the Little Pet Peeve. The strip was created by cartoonist

23
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:19,159
Frank King, who also created Gasoline Alley. King's Little Pet

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,719
Peeve was humorous. This kid was thoughtless. He had frustrations.

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,480
One example back in twenty sixteen was people reading the

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,359
movie screen during a silent movie cracking an egg only

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,040
to smell it. How about backseat drivers. The greatest thing

28
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,640
about Frank King is that he has welcomed readers to

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000
send in their own pet peeves. I've turned the phrase

30
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:44,000
my pet peeve into a weekly moment on my globally

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,560
listened to podcast CTCs from Out of Nowhere. I'll say

32
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,079
this is a ct pet peeve of the week, and

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,719
it's always about the behavior of people who shop at

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,040
grocery stores. My pet peeve something our parents would say.

35
00:01:59,359 --> 00:01:59,879
My name is Er.
