Show Description
Favorite phrases for people you don't like - Dildock, Turkey, Chowderhead…
Shep discusses the origins and meanings of various words we take for granted. The use of the word "Turkey" or "Bomb" to describe a play or movie. Someone once set off a stink bomb in the theater after seeing a show they didn't like. Since turkeys are dumb, pretentious and gamey they became widely used to describe a bad show.
In the early 19th century whiskey manufacturer Edmund Booze produced a highly popular whiskey, Everyone would go into a bar and ask for it by name. "Gimme some Booze!" and the name stuck.
A common household fixture was named after its inventor -Commode.
"Commercials are the true literature of our time"
Shep tells about one summer when he was 14 and had just gotten his work permit. The old man, siting at the supper table, puts his paper down and tells Shep, "I have a present for you." He tells Shep to get a package out of his coat pocket. Shep opens it and it's a gillette razor. The old man teaches Shep how to lather up and shave. When he nicks his face, the septic pencil is painfully introduced and finally the stinging slap of Aqua Velva.
