Words aren't just a means of communication—they're something of a playground. And as with any playground, you could be severely injured at any time. But Joe and Tim will keep you from falling off even the most nonsensical of linguistic seesaws.
Join us as we explore the quirky, confusing, and often surprising world of idioms. We'll uncover the origins of common sayings, discuss their meanings and then most likely go completely off the rails. It's a fresh, entertaining look at how we use words — and how we make fun of them.
Whether you're a lover of language, word nerd, or someone who enjoys ridiculous linguistics, Ridiculistics is for you!
