3
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:09,000
podcasts for how many years, and it's been like, well,

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,400
where are they at? I don't know, just google it. Well,

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,240
that's not a good idea Arrow dot net A r

00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,640
r oe dot Net. Those old saints phrases, idioms, you know,

7
00:00:19,679 --> 00:00:21,600
those things your family and friends would say, and it

8
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:24,280
usually came from out of nowhere, and only sometimes it

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,679
actually made sense. They had to start somewhere, who, what, where, why, when?

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,079
And how. Some of those old saints are not only ancient,

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,000
but still carry a powerful punch today. In fact, I

12
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:39,240
live by one of those old saints. Winning is a choice.

00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,880
The goal of these episodes is to help preserve not

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,920
only a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow.

15
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:49,159
A nod is as good as a wink. It's an

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,320
old English proverb that basically means a subtle hint or

17
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:56,359
gesture is enough for someone who understands. I laugh at

18
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:59,439
this because guys are really good at saying absolutely nothing

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,679
while allowing body parts to do the communicating for them.

20
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,040
A comedian shared a great example back in the nineteen eighties.

21
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:07,879
You know how guys when they see each other they

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,079
kind of lift their head up, like saying, yo, what's

23
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,079
up now. According to the comedian, it goes much deeper

24
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,400
than that. It's a man's way of looking at another

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,439
guy while passing them, going yo, you get nanny. When

26
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:26,159
they lift their head it's like, yeah, am A nod

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920
is as good as a wink. It originally started out

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,200
as a nod's as good as a wink to a

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,480
blind house. It was that generation's way of saying that

30
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:37,719
if someone is sharp enough, they'll feel the nod internally.

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,120
As for who really made a nod is a good

32
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:44,680
wink a big household movement, well, it was the comedy

33
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:48,239
team Money Python. It was also the title of an

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,400
album from the group Faces in nineteen seventy one. A

35
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:55,079
nod is as good as a wink something our parents

36
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:56,599
would say. My name is Erro.
