Speaker 1: Arrow dot Net. It's more than a podcast, It's a
podcast network. Twenty different podcasts to choose from, one of
them being Beyond the Calling. I was challenged to talk
with the men and women who have served this nation
when it comes to the military. Listen to their stories,
grow from their experiences. Now share it with everybody Beyond
the Calling on Arrow dot net aarre dot net. Enjoy
your exploration. Warning, this week's show contains adult language. Once again,
this week's episode contains adult language. Those old sayings, phrases, idioms.
You know those things your family and friends usually came
up with that came from out of nowhere, and only
sometimes they actually made sense, and yet you were going wow,
never thought of it that way. Well, they had to
start somewhere, right, Who, what, where, why, when and how?
Some of those old saints are not only ancient, but
still care a powerful punch even today. In fact, I
live by one of those old saints. Winning is a choice.
The goal of these episodes is to help preserve not
only a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arro,
Shit the bed WHOA Now you see why we put
that warning at the beginning of the show. Shit the Bed,
No need to shit the bed. Over this, the phrase
pretty much says that you're going to fail, have spectacular, unexpected,
messy ways, and just move on with your day. It
originates from exactly where you think it does, the act
of bed wedding and what the body does shortly after
passing away from day one. Shit the bed was meant
to be crude, vulgar and publicly catastrophic, meaning embarrassing to
the person. But but, but, bud, it is a much
different story in Australia. Shit the bed is somebody who
gets to work early, a much different definition inside beauty
and wonders that surround the urban dictionary, I mean shit
the bed. There not a business failure, not a pro
football player dropping a punt or a rule breaking man
getting caught. The urban dictionary says it means to die. Wow,
that blunt to die. Hey, I just heard about your mom.
I'm sorry that she shit the bed. Ooh ooh no, yeah,
maybe this episode is doing exactly that. Shitting the bed
something our parents would say. Something that started in the
mid nineteen forties, filtered through the military services in the
nineteen sixties, and by the nineteen eighties it was seen
as part of our figurative speech. It didn't shit the bed,
something our parents would say. My name is Erro.
