This week Shauna and Dan look at the history of Rain Check, from a St Louis baseball term to a American phenomenon. Along the way they get too close to the conspiracy in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, talk about their own social awkwardness and anxiety, plus trace how the word check went from a persian word meaning King to the common word we use today!
Welcome to our whimsical adventure of idioms and other turns of phrase. We delve into the origins of phrases to find out how they came into the English language. We tell the story of the phrase from its beginnings to where it is today. Shauna and Dan are two big nerds, so expect some geek culture references, random trivia facts, and loads of laughs. DFTBA!
