Step into the Rabbit Hole Studio where mother-daughter duo Jane and Bobbi Joy unravel the strange, confusing, and often hilariously misunderstood world of common sayings and phrases. Their generational perspectives create a perfect backdrop for exploring how language evolves, confuses, and connects us.
The conversation weaves through regional peculiarities (like Midwesterners giving directions based on restaurant locations), commonly butchered expressions ("for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes"), and generation-specific slang that leaves the other bewildered. Jane and Bobbi's natural rapport shines as they playfully tease each other while sharing linguistic pet peeves and favorite expressions.
Whether you're a language lover, someone who appreciates intergenerational perspectives, or simply enjoy authentic, entertaining conversation, this episode delivers thoughtful insights wrapped in humor and warmth. Listen now to discover the surprising origins behind everyday phrases and maybe pick up some new expressions to confuse your friends and family!
