different podcasts creating an amazing network. One of the podcasts

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,640
is The Daily Mess. We all have questions. Do we

5
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:16,120
go searching for answers or do we sit back and

6
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:21,359
just assume the Daily Mess? We work it out only

00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,239
Enjoy your exploration those old Saints, phrases, idioms, you know,

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,840
the things your family and friends usually came up with.

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,320
And they came from out of nowhere, but only sometimes

11
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:39,200
they actually made sense. But they had to start somewhere right,

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,159
Who will, where, why, when? And how? Some of those

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,880
old Saints are not only ancient, but they still carry

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,359
a powerful punch today. In fact, I live by one

15
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:52,320
of those old saints. Winning is a choice. The goal

16
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:55,799
of these episodes is to help preserve not only a language,

17
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:00,320
but lessons in life. My name is Arrow. This episode

18
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,319
contains foul language, yet the subject at hand is something

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,760
spoken in the public eye without disclaimers or any other

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,040
reasons to look away. Something our parents would say, fucking shit.

21
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:18,519
How did these two very expressive words find their way

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:25,439
to each other? Boom. It's instantly branded modern day compound profanity.

23
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:28,920
It starts with two very English swear words that had

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,159
different lives well before joining forces in sentences like get

25
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:36,319
that fucking shit done? Plus can you believe this fucking shit?

26
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:40,480
The word shit is definitely old English. It's always been

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,040
associated with the body. It shifts toward profanity arrived in

28
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:49,840
the sixteenth century, very taboo, yet extremely useful. The word

29
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:54,680
shit is a noun, expletive, and it intensifies. Well, what

30
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:58,840
about the word fuck? Totally German with Dutch roots. It

31
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:01,840
first appeared in the fare fifteenth century. It wasn't until

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,599
the twentieth century that it became a part of our

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,360
everyday speak. So why does fucking shit even work? Fucking intensifies.

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,199
While shit is emotional, it releases that payload. Our use

35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,680
of it is semantic bleaching, when words lose their literal

36
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:24,680
meaning while becoming a tool or a tone. Fucking shit

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,360
something our parents would say. My name is Arrow.
