Introduction of Hosts and Episode Theme
00:00:01
Speaker
This is our podcast song. It isn't very long. Hey, Sarah. Hey, Christina. Thanks everybody for tuning into Laughing with Gingers. The podcasts were to Ficy Redheads with Loud Lash or Crazy Stories, Play Games, and Spread Salinas. Enjoy. That little windblown mop over there is my partner in crime on the Laughing with Gingers podcast, Christina Curry.
00:00:36
Speaker
And this week, I have a sneaking suspicion we may have brought the same thing.
Victorian vs. Irish Sayings Showdown
00:00:44
Speaker
Maybe, but also maybe not. I don't know. So our our topic for this episode is sayings and where they came from. You know what I brought?
00:00:59
Speaker
Yeah, what did you bring? I brought Victorian sayings and you're going to be guessing what they mean. Okay, we did not bring the same thing because I brought like old like Irish sayings and what they mean.
00:01:21
Speaker
That's amazing. I kind of love it. All right. Well, are you ready to get into it? Yes, this is going to be great. This is going to be great. You might get some. I feel like you're going to probably do pretty good on my game. I feel like I'm probably going to tank on your game. Well, let me actually keep score because I feel like I haven't done that in a while.
Haunted Dolls and 'Got the morbs' Discussion
00:01:50
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like we definitely haven't done that in a while. Yeah. What are you going to get for this haunted Victorian dolls? Oh, my God, that's so scary. I just got like that just came out of left field. And the visual that like popped into my brain was not great. Oh, my God.
00:02:18
Speaker
It was very distracting. Look, I can't even talk. Good thing we don't need your voice for this audio platform or anything.
00:02:31
Speaker
Okay, I'm sorry, Victorian dolls. What? It makes me think of that island. Have you seen that island where there's a bunch of weird haunted dolls all over the whole island? No. It's creepy AF man. I'm telling you, I don't even know what's happening there.
00:02:58
Speaker
I don't think I need to see that island. No. I'm not sure if you want to win this game. Probably won't, but let's give it a shot. All right, here we go. Okay. So my first one is got the morbs. And I can use it in a sentence if needed.
00:03:26
Speaker
Oh, yeah. OK. I've lost all my Twitter followers because of this depressing selfie. Hashtag got the morbs. Oh, my God. Is it you're depressed? I mean, yeah, it's being temporarily melancholy.
Exploring 'Suggestionize' and 'Collie shangles'
00:03:49
Speaker
Oh, is that a real word, morbs?
00:03:53
Speaker
It's Victorian slang. Oh, for being temporarily melancholy. That is a mouthful. It would be a handier to just shrink that up to morbs. I feel like that could be a thing nowadays. We should start that. I feel like all of these could be.
00:04:14
Speaker
Oh, really? Oh my God. Yes, yes. All right, so I'm giving you one haunted Victorian doll for that.
00:04:26
Speaker
I don't know what to give you if you are like, if you do good on my Irish sayings, maybe like for one leprechaun. Mine are way better than. Way scarier, you mean.
00:04:48
Speaker
I meant the things I'm winning are way, way more positive. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He can grant you a gold. I get neither. Potentially murdered. No big deal. Hashtag MDD. All right. So here's my next one. Suggestionize.
00:05:17
Speaker
Suggestionize. Can you use it in a sentence? We suggestionize you pay attention at the back there. I mean, I would imagine it's like a small suggestion.
00:05:31
Speaker
Yes. So it's like a prompt like that. Yeah. I feel like that takes a lot more to say suggestion eyes than like suggest. Yeah. I don't know why you would add so many additional syllables. Yeah. The nice part is really not needed. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You want a third one and then you can give me one. Yeah. Let's do it. Kali shangles.
00:06:02
Speaker
That's like, that's the phrase. Yeah. Call these shangles. OK, I need it in a sentence. Aren't you glad I came with sentences? Yeah, I am, because I did not come with sentences, so it might be hard for you. That's OK, because I'm winning leprechauns and you're winning. You now have two haunted Victorian dolls.
Irish Saying 'On me Todd' Explained
00:06:30
Speaker
Did you see the collie shangles between Dick and Peter about how to decorate the man cave? Big Dick energy? Actually, you're not far off. I mean, truly not far off. It's fisticuffs. I don't even know that word. It's like,
00:06:58
Speaker
It's kind of it's like a like a disagreement. Uh huh. Would be the it's actually that is funny because fisticuffs is also like an old saying. Yeah, they're describing an old saying with an old saying. That doesn't count. My mom uses fisticuffs all the time. Like that's like a
00:07:23
Speaker
weird word that my mom said that I always thought was normal until you didn't know what it meant. So right now. Both those saying sound very machismo. They are. That's why it's kind of you're not far off from with big dick energy.
High Society Sayings: 'Afternoonified' and More
00:07:43
Speaker
Do I get like a half of it all?
00:07:50
Speaker
You can either have the knife wielding hand or the head, which one would you prefer? Oh, God. Can I get a foot? No. Knife wielding hand or a head. I guess the head. All right. Because then all it'll do is bite me or something. Oh, my goodness. God. Okay. All right.
00:08:21
Speaker
Uh, here's one on me, Todd. I wish I could say it in an Irish accent. That would be way funner. Yeah. Are these actually like Gaelic words? Um, some yards are Gaelic, like, you know, old school Gaelic that have just made it into modern. These are like one's modern day, like things that they do actually say. Okay. Say it again.
00:08:51
Speaker
I don't have it in a sentence. Wait, let me think. Let me think. She moved out of her parents' house and was on me Todd. Wait, that doesn't make sense. I moved out of my parents' house and now I'm on me Todd. On your own? Yeah.
00:09:22
Speaker
Oh my God. Yeah, I thought you were trying to say on your period. Oh my God. That would be really funny. I wonder if they have a saying for that. Probably not. I mean, I feel like probably but it may not have been in the list you got. There are I mean, I feel like there are so many ways to say that already like so many slang ways.
00:09:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. OK, here's here's. Well, I'll let you give me a few more because I have less than you. Yeah, you have a lot less than me. I have like double afternoonified. After noonified. What the hell is it? Layers of textbooks are well known to be rather afternoonified.
00:10:19
Speaker
That was not helpful. My brain was thinking, is that what like the glow that you have after a nooner? You know, it's funny because that's what I would have guessed for sure. Or like the good mood that you're in after a little roll in the sack. Yeah. Yeah. And then your like sentence is very confusing. Yeah. So it means a high society word meaning smart.
00:10:50
Speaker
Meaning smart. Yes. I thought you were being smart. OK. OK. Now I have a haunted Victorian doll. OK. Ready for another one? Bang up to the elephant. Bang up to the elephant. Does that mean like?
00:11:18
Speaker
I'm going to go get smarter. That also to me sounds like BDE. Use the inner sentence. This podcast is bang up to the elephant. Awesome. Cool. Super great. So funny.
00:11:46
Speaker
Am I getting it? I'm going to give you I'm going to give you this one. So it means perfect or complete. Hmm. Yes, I still along those lines. Yeah, I mean, it's not technically complete yet. So my sentence didn't help you there. Oh, yeah, that's true. What a weird saying. Like why the elephant and banging up to it, you know, that's a.
00:12:13
Speaker
Make me sense. Everything about it is very odd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, you want to give me one? Yes, okay. Away with the fairies. Daydreaming? Oh my God, totally. It's someone that's not facing reality or they're living like off in La La Land. Nailed it. They're away with the fairies.
00:12:43
Speaker
Sounds fun. It does. I feel like I want to be there. You do live in La La Land, so you are there, I guess. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, you'll have to update your address. Okay.
00:13:07
Speaker
Are you ready for this one? Yeah. Oh my God. Your face is making me nervous. I have my face covered with my script, so I don't know what I look like, but I feel uncomfortable saying this. Oh my God. This might actually make you explode if you had to read it. Um, humble comes stumble.
00:13:33
Speaker
I want you to use that in a sentence. What? Um, when I use the word humble, come stumble, I am humble, come stumbled. Oh, not helpful, Sarah. Um, um,
00:14:01
Speaker
I don't know. Hang on. Let me, umble, stum, cumble. Okay. Wait, am I saying it wrong? Yes, you are. And also I can use it in another sentence. Oh, okay. Yeah. Let's have another sentence. This word is making Christina or Christina feels that this word is humble, cum, stumble. Confused? Yes. Yes.
00:14:29
Speaker
I feel like confused is way easier to say. Just throwing it out there. So technically it's thoroughly misunderstood, but yes, I mean confused is basically the same thing. Oh my God. Yeah.
00:14:53
Speaker
You want to give me one? Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Tis only a stepmother would blame you. Only someone mean would or someone who doesn't like you would be mad about that. Kind of. It basically means don't worry about it. Yeah.
00:15:20
Speaker
Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. No one's going to care because only a stepmother would blame you.
Games and Giggles: Sayings like 'Humble come stumble'
00:15:26
Speaker
I know awful for the stepmother. I know. It's so weird to think that like stepmothers are still viewed as being evil. I know man. Cinderella really ruined it for future stepmothers. Oh man. Yeah. I know some good ones. I know some good ones. I also know some not so great ones.
00:15:49
Speaker
But it all goes both ways. Yeah, that's true, too. All right. Are you ready for my next one? Mm hmm. Bricky. Bricky. Oh, breakfast. Oh, no. No. Let me use it in a sentence for you. Damn it.
00:16:13
Speaker
So it's bricky, like brick, like the side of the house. Oh, not bracky, like breakfast. OK. Totally. I was like, oh, she's not wrong. I don't know if that comes from Victorian, but I think that's a British thing. Mm hmm. OK. Also, I could be very wrong about that. And if I am insulting anyone, I apologize because it could be Irish and that would be insulting. OK.
00:16:41
Speaker
You'd have to be bricky to leave this party. Oh, maybe. Wait, wait, wait. No, I read the wrong one. Sorry. Oh, my God. Such a roller coaster of emotions. There's a lot going on with bricky. It's confusing me a little bit. I'm a little humble comes stumbled. Oh, my God.
00:17:12
Speaker
Okay, when I learned to scuba dive, I would say that I was pretty bricky. Okay, I have to go totally opposite of what I was thinking it was and say excited. I mean, you're not wrong, but that's not what it means.
00:17:37
Speaker
What does it mean? It means brave or fearless. Oh, okay. The party example made me think drunk or thick-headed. I was thinking it sounded crazy. You have to be crazy to leave this party. I'm all, you have to be drunk to leave this party. That doesn't make sense.
00:18:03
Speaker
Well, I meant like overly drunk, like you were too drunk to be here and go home. Oh, God. OK, you want to give me one more? I'll give you one more and then we can dip out and come back for part two. Yeah. OK, perfect. This one has to do with that party. And if you're acting the maggot, you should probably go home. Acting a fool.
00:18:30
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. You're too drunk, go home. I love that. Okay, this one is giggle mug. Oh my God, I really like that.
00:18:51
Speaker
Giggle mug, it's so cute. I want a giggle mug. I do too. I don't know, is it like a mug of beer or something? A different kind of mug. A mug of mushrooms?
00:19:18
Speaker
You're still on the same type of mug. You're just changing what's in it. A mug of a dog mug? A mug shot? No, they don't have pictures in Victorian times, Christina. Don't be silly. Don't be a mug giggle. Giggle mug. I don't know. Okay, you want the sentence? Yeah. He may be a bit furry, but he's got a right giggle mug.
00:19:47
Speaker
A smile? Yes. Oh, it's cute. I wonder if that's where mug shots came from. Well, that's why I was saying you're choosing the wrong kind of mug because like if you have an ugly mug, yeah, it's a face. Where did that word come from to describe a face? I don't know. We may need to Google that between. I never thought about that. I didn't think about it until I read Giggle mug.
Episode Conclusion and Teasers
00:20:18
Speaker
So funny. All right. Well, that's a wrap for part one of sayings and where they come from, everybody. Woo. Yeah, I like that. I have a really I have a good second half coming up. All right. Right now you have five haunted Victorian dolls and one head. Oh, Jesus.
00:20:48
Speaker
I feel like you just have an army of leprechauns and you're just going to keep getting them. I'll choose something else you can get for the next one. Maybe it'll be something to fight off the hunted Victorian dolls. That would be much appreciated.
