In this week's episode of "Feeling Good" (that was fun to say LOL), we got some funny crap that you probably thought had no meaning! Well, remember people, everything has an origin! So without further ado, here is:
Word Knowledge
Ever heard someone say "It's all Greek to me"? I know I've said it quite a bit when someone said something to me that I didn't understand or if I tried to read something that simply looked like garbly goop (yeah, you'll find that explanation in our Lingo section LOL)! Ever wonder where that expression came from? Well, here you go!
"It's All Greek To Me"
The earliest known reference goes back to William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Casca, who is among the group conspiring to kill Caesar, recounts to Brutus and Cassius how Caesar had previously rejected the crown of emperor. When asked if Cicero, an influential senator, had said anything (Cicerco did, speaking in Greek to prevent passersby from understanding him), Casca replies: "Those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but for mine own part, it was Greek to me."
Here's another one that I know I've used: "Keep your eyes peeled!" You know you've said it when telling someone to be on the look out for something in particular! Here's where it all started:
"Keep Your Eyes Peeled"
Referring to certain fruits or vegetables, such as oranges, bananas and potatoes, that are better or more useful without their skin, this phrase can be traced back to a newspaper in 1833. The Political Examiner of Shelbyville, Kentucky gave this advice: "Young man! Keep your eye peeled when you are after women."
