Why Do We Say That? is back for a new season!!!

In this episode, Scott and Liam return with four everyday phrases that have roots in ships, storms, and life at sea: “batten down the hatches,” “high and dry,” “loose cannon,” and “cut and run.”

They also bring back the world famous game show..."Who Said That?"!

From sealing hatches before a storm to cutting anchor lines in an emergency, this episode looks at how old nautical language sailed into modern English and somehow became the way we talk about work, family, chaos, and bad decisions.

Send us the strange phrases you have always wondered about on Instagram and they may end up in a future episode.

Ever wondered why we call someone's final performance their Swan Song? Or why impatient people always want to Cut to the Chase? This episode is jam-packed with phrase origins, questionable metaphors, and possibly a little too much enthusiasm about frying pans.

We’ll also explore how being On the Same Wavelength has nothing to do with actual radio signals, and why jumping from one disaster into another is the true meaning of Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire (spoiler: it’s exactly as bad as it sounds).

And of course, we wrap up with the newly world-famous game show… Who Said That?
