Ep. 129 - Feeling Blue, Blue Laws, and Blue Comedy
b'
Elton John will no longer have to guess why they call it the blues after this episode of Origin of Speakcies. The guys explore the origin and history of three "blue" terms - Feeling Blue, Blue Laws, and Blue Comedy - along with the story behind "E-Girl" in New Slang.
As they explore these terms, there will be sex, drunkenness, a spiteful Episcopal minister, Tom Hanks, art hoes, Sir Walter Scott (who is not Sir Walter Raleigh), blue devils, Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, Geoffrey Chaucer, and the comedy duo Leroy and Skillet.
