Podcast Introduction
00:00:50
Speaker
This is our podcast song. It isn't very long. Hi, Sarah.
00:01:02
Speaker
I can't handle that commercial. It's awesome.
00:01:14
Speaker
Oh my God. Thanks everyone for tuning into Laughing with Jindrs. I hope you got your chill paws. Oh God. The podcast were two feisty redheads with loud laughs, share crazy story, play games, and record really funny ads that just crack us up. That pawsome lady over there.
00:01:41
Speaker
my partner in crime on the Laughing with Ginger's podcast, Christina Curry. She's not a doctor, but that's Sarah Alephun, my co-host of Laughing with Ginger's.
Victorian Sayings Guessing Game Begins
00:01:56
Speaker
Oh my God. I'm like crying, and we're only two minutes into this. God. For those of you listening, first of all, welcome to part two of Sayings and where they came from. Christina will be winning hoop skirts for this one.
00:02:12
Speaker
Yes. That's exciting. Thank God. You can hide your haunted Victorian dolls underneath. Oh my God. Under my hoop skirt, so they have access to my vagina. No, thank you.
Live Recording Behind-the-Scenes
00:02:38
Speaker
So behind the scenes of what just happened and why we can't get our shit together is we so the way that we record is live to tape, which means we don't edit this podcast, like what we say goes out to the airwaves. And we have to play the chill pause commercial ahead of the recording of this podcast.
00:03:03
Speaker
And we had not previously listened to our ridiculousness in. Who doesn't like a good pun? Oh, my God. I would just like to let you all know that Christina and I wrote that script. So if you don't think we're funny. That's true.
00:03:33
Speaker
Oh, my God.
Victorian and Irish Sayings Game
00:03:34
Speaker
Okay, so we today I brought Victorian sayings and sentences to use them in and Christina will be guessing what that what the what they actually mean. And Christina, what did you bring? Um, I brought old Victorians. That's you. I'm still like swirling with puns in my head.
00:03:59
Speaker
I'm Sarah for today. I'm a really good memory. I like deep sea diving. I don't know. My voice sounds like in your head. That's what I go around saying. I've got the giggle mugs.
00:04:25
Speaker
Oh my god. Okay, anywho, whoa. So I brought Irish sayings that are current but are funny and weird and and Sarah has to guess what they mean. And then she wins the leprechaun.
00:04:40
Speaker
Oh, I'm still getting leprechauns. Oh, do you want something else? Oh, I mean, I might have a gaggle by the end of this. You all should be very afraid of my army of leprechauns. I wonder what a group of leprechauns is called. I don't know. I would imagine gaggle. But yeah, we also forgot to look up what fisticuffs where that came from between the episodes. But
00:05:06
Speaker
You know, maybe we'll maybe that'll be an Easter egg in next week's. Oh, my God. It just sounds dirty. All right. Yeah. Do you want to kick us off, Sarah? All right. The word is Benjo. Benjo. Like Banjo, but with a Ben.
00:05:32
Speaker
instead of a ban. Okay. Can you use that in the sentence, please? I can. And it is, the work party is going to be a right Benjo this year. I mean, that can go a lot of different ways. Really, it's not super helpful. But I'm going to say, like, fun.
00:06:01
Speaker
I'm gonna give you a half a hoop skirt for that. You know what you're gonna get, you're gonna get one of those hoops that you roll down the street with a stick. Okay. Instead of a skirt for this one. Okay, okay. I get a toy. Yeah, so let me let me draw you the hoop stick on my. On your scorecard. My scorecard. What does it mean? A riotous holiday. It's a noisy day in the street.
00:06:33
Speaker
So weird. Benjo. Okay. All right. All right. I feel like this every day of this podcast is a Benjo. Yeah. A riotous good time in the street. A noisy time in the street. Oh yeah. There you go. All right. You want another one? Yeah. Kruger spoof.
00:07:01
Speaker
OK, I need a sentence for that one. You're a Kruger, Scoof. I know you finished my Jaffa cakes. Oh, my God. The only reason I know what Jaffa cakes is is because great British baking show. I don't know what they are. OK, I'm going to say crazy.
00:07:31
Speaker
Uh, or. Liar. You're a liar. Yeah. Yeah. OK, OK. All right. You get the hoops. I get a full hoops skirt on that one. OK, cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Which kind of looks like a lampshade in my drawing on your scorecard. You need to put a stick figure in there so they know where that lampshade goes. Not on the head.
00:08:00
Speaker
Not on the head. OK, you want one more and then I'll turn the floor back over to you. Yes, ma'am. Church Bell. I'm guessing it's not what it like logistically translates to. What can you use it in a sentence, please?
00:08:27
Speaker
I can use it in two sentences. The sentence that I have as my example is, my neighbor is known for being a right church bell. But my other sentence is going to be that the ladies on Laughing with Ginger's are right church bells. Crazy?
00:08:55
Speaker
Not far, but not quite there. We're happy, joyful. You're not far, you're almost there. Hilarious. I thought you were going to guess loud, to be honest.
00:09:21
Speaker
It's loud, isn't it? It's talkative. It's talkative. Oh, talkative. I would have given it to you if you said loud. All right, so I've got a hoop skirt now. You're welcome. Thanks. I'm much better than haunted Victorian dolls. Yeah. They're body parts.
00:09:48
Speaker
I'm glad part one is behind us. Oh my God, what is wrong with me? I don't know, but it seems to me you're as happy as Larry. That's the saying, happy as Larry. Very, very happy.
00:10:12
Speaker
Excitable and excited. You're kind of there. You're kind of there. It means that you have no worries and no cares in the world. Who's this Larry guy? Don't know. I don't know, but I definitely want to be happy as him.
00:10:30
Speaker
I know, right? Yeah, me too. Go get it, Larry. Go get it. Oh, I wonder if Larry is like slang for like man or, you know. Dude, like how we use John, you know, it's just like a blanket term for a man. Yeah, actually, Robin Hood is a generic term for a man is like
00:10:58
Speaker
You know, Joe Blow or John Doe. Ah, interesting. Isn't that weird? Weird things that I have in my brain that take up space where other helpful things could go like, you know. How to speak. OK, are you ready for this next one? Yeah.
00:11:28
Speaker
Make a stuffed bird laugh. Oh my God, that's so funny. I feel like it's like a hard task or like something difficult. You want the sentence? OK, give me the sentence. Clearly that wasn't right. Well. Yeah, you're not you're not far, I mean.
00:11:56
Speaker
I could give it to you, I guess. Let's hear the sentence. I'll refine my answer. Cutting out of this podcast right now and stopping listening would be would make a stuffed bird laugh. That's not helpful. Something weird to you?
00:12:27
Speaker
I mean, kind of. It's much more extreme than just something weird. A dramatic action. I think you can get another hoop and stick for that. OK, cool. What is the actual definition? Absolutely preposterous.
00:12:54
Speaker
Oh, my God, I was kind of circling that hoop skirt. You are. You get the hoop and the stick, but just not the fabric that goes over it. Oh, God. Yeah.
00:13:14
Speaker
Yeah. So they did a lot of like taxidermied stuff in the Victorian era. It was like very popular to have like, you know, the big bird hats and stuff with like the feathers and things. Yeah. Sometimes they actually used a bird on it. Yeah. Gross. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Hit me with another one. Hit me with another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kakaboo. Kakaboo? Nope. Sorry. Chakaboo.
00:13:44
Speaker
Chukaboo, chukaboo. A term of endearment for your husband? You are so close. Oh my God. So it's a nickname given to a close friend. Oh my God. It just sounded cute and igney me. You are my chukaboo. Oh, you're my chukaboo. And you get a hoop skirt.
00:14:14
Speaker
Yay. Oh, my God. Something is wrong with me. Truly, something is wrong with me. Today or in general? I feel like in general. Oh, OK. We're going in general. Yeah. Also, the next one, I think, applies to me. Oh. Oh, OK. Let's hear it. Whooper-ups.
00:14:45
Speaker
Whooper-ups? Yep. Does that mean you're off? You are not too far. Let me give you the sentence. So, I, when in a choir, am just a big whooper-up. Someone who goofs off. Oh, that does sound like what the sentence would mean.
00:15:14
Speaker
That is not correct. I'm only as good as the tools that are given to me. Well, technically, I did say choir, which should have gotten you closer. My brain wasn't computing. You want to take another crack at it or? Okay, tell me the sentence again.
00:15:42
Speaker
Oh, God, what did I even say? When I am in a choir, I am just a big old whooper up. Show or offer? You're not too far, but you're not getting a point. It is an inferior, noisy singer. Oh, my God, that's so specific.
00:16:09
Speaker
So specific. Well, I mean, if you think about it, like they didn't have TV and stuff. So a lot of people like learned things like singing for entertainment or playing an instrument and that kind of thing.
00:16:24
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Mm hmm. I could see where that would be used a lot more in that context. All right, no points, but I get that. That's fair. OK, now I have one hoop skirt for each of my haunted Victorian dolls. OK, perfect. Yeah, yeah. All right, I got one for you. All right, let's have it.
00:16:53
Speaker
This one's funny. Suffering from a double dose of original sin. Oh, God. Very, very naughty.
00:17:07
Speaker
Yes, a mischievous child to be specific. Yes, yes. Nailed it. Both of us would have fit in that category. Oh, yes. I feel like you're a little more mischievous. I'm just like loud. Also naughty. Yes, I could be naughty sometimes. Sometimes I'm good. It just kind of depends on what my mood is.
00:17:35
Speaker
Depends on if you were asked to leave the beach or not before you were ready. All right.
Final Sayings and Victorian Language Reflections
00:17:45
Speaker
Cop a mouse. Cop a mouse. I need a sentence. I may be a rat, but carry on like that and you're going to cop a mouse.
00:18:04
Speaker
Hmm. Maybe a rabbit carry on like that. You're going to maybe like get arrested or like like a cop is going to come get you. You're going to get a ticket like in trouble. You're not you're not too far. I think you're going to get punished.
00:18:25
Speaker
Yeah, I'll give you, you can have a hoop and stick again. You have a lot of hoops and sticks. I get close, but never quite there. You've gotten there twice. Now you have three hoops and three sticks. Okay, perfect. I don't know what you're going to do with all of it. What does it mean? It means to get a black eye. Oh my goodness.
00:18:53
Speaker
A black eye was a mouse. That's so weird. Yeah, I don't have an explanation for that, but yeah. OK, ready for the next one? Yeah, I have one more just to update you. OK, I have four more. Perfect, OK. OK, this one is poked up.
00:19:17
Speaker
I was right poked up by my mother-in-law's singing in chapel on Sunday. It was atrocious. Like irritated. Not quite. Annoyed. Not quite.
00:19:41
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know what else. I feel like I'm going to have to give you a hoop and stick with this. I just don't know what you're going to do with them all. You only have to... You know what? You're going to have to train your haunted Victorian doll to play with them. You only have two hands. It'll distract them from murdering me. It's perfect.
00:20:02
Speaker
I'm just going to give them the toys. You need one more. One is still unoccupied. It means embarrassed, which is also a funny word that when you think about where it came from because it has bare ass in it. Oh, weird. And then I started thinking about where that word came from. Oh, man.
00:20:33
Speaker
All right. You want one more, then you can give me mine and I'll give you my final three. Okay. Perfect. Okay. Bubble around. Bubble around. Okay. Maybe it's like a social butterfly. I see where you think that, but hold, please. All right. Give me a sentence. Give me a sentence. This builder is going to be in for a bubble around if he doesn't get the tiling straight.
00:21:03
Speaker
A talking to. Yeah. Oh, nice. I mean, it's a verbal attack, but that's what you meant by that. A talking to is like Texas slang for that. Yep. So now you have another hoop skirt. Good job. You ready to give me your last one?
00:21:35
Speaker
Top of the morning to you. Good morning to you. So this is sort of a trick one because it's actually not ever used in Ireland and was a Hollywood invention. Was it really? Oh, my God. Those Hollywood people. Yeah, that I could see it. Living in La La Land.
00:22:02
Speaker
Or, you know, off with the fairies with the fair. Oh, my God, I love that one so much. It's I know I do. OK, you ready? Mm hmm. All right. You're you're not going to like this one. Bags. Oh, mystery. And I think you're going to need the sentence. Yeah, I need this sentence.
00:22:31
Speaker
It wasn't a mystery what happened to my husband's bag of mystery last night. They went straight from the frying pan into the dog. Oh, like giblets, giblets. You're not far. Think about the bags part and what would have mystery in it. Like ball sack. We know what's in ball sacks. Oh, liver.
00:23:02
Speaker
We know all of these things could be in this type of meat. Sausage. Yep. Ding, ding, ding. Oh. Whose skirt for you? Whoo-hoo. All right. Sauce box. What? Sauce box? That is a little weird. OK, I need a sentence.
00:23:34
Speaker
Sorry, it just sounds so dirty when I say it. Oh, you've got gravy all around your sauce box from these bags of mystery and mash. What have you got gravy all around your thing? Sauce box. Sauce box.
00:24:04
Speaker
Is it like meat juices? No. Where would you actually get the meat juices when you're eating bags of mash or bags of mystery and mash? On your face? Close. In your lap? On your chest? In your teeth? It's just more specific than face. You're on your lips?
00:24:34
Speaker
give it to you. It's mouth. Oh, okay.
Closing Remarks and Promotions
00:24:41
Speaker
That is weird. It's so weird. It's so weird. Yeah, you could have I could have also said watch your sauce box.
00:24:54
Speaker
I don't think I would have gotten it. But maybe, no, I don't think I would have. Oh, God. Keep your sauce box shut. You definitely would have guessed vagina on that. Yeah. On that note, everyone. Thanks for joining us. Oh, you do? Oh, my God. OK, give it to me. Give it to me. Or chump.
00:25:25
Speaker
Orf chump? Is it like that weird uncle that no one likes? Christina has Orf chump after thinking about bags of mystery. Naja, upset belly, EBGBs. Yuck. I'm going to give it to you. It's no appetite.
00:25:50
Speaker
Oh, yeah. OK, no appetite. That makes sense. That makes sense. All right, Christina, I hate to tell you this, but you are going to have to find another way to entertain one of your haunted Victorian dolls because you only got four hoop and sticks. But you got you did get one hoop skirt for each of them.
00:26:14
Speaker
All right. Well, I'm just going to have to run away from that last one, but that's easier running away from one versus running away from many. True. All right. Now you can wrap us up. All right.
