Gassy Florida Man

[00:00] Hey, do you guys want to do a quick under google? Yeah, sure. I'll do one. Yeah, man. All right
[00:05] We do under Google rules that was the play of super excited told us we had to
[00:24] We signed up for it in the end it's gonna be better and more true than Google can give you
[00:33] It's been a while since we've done this so
[00:35] Jill actually came up with this one. So we're reading a book to Ethan and it's about
[00:43] How how we're we're the same and we're different that's the title of the book and so it's like, yeah
[00:50] I got that. I got that you got that book. Okay, cool. So there's there's talking about our noses are
[00:56] Different and so they show pictures of different noses, but then they're like our noses are the same
[01:00] they smell and they sneeze and whatever and in that picture there's like
[01:06] like a mom and a kid
[01:09] Then there's a truck going by and they're like holding their noses
[01:13] Jill's like describing it to Ethan. She's like they're just saying a p you that stinks and
[01:21] She wondered why do we say p you? What does that mean? And why does it refer to you?
[01:31] The only it's like my primary context for p you was from high school. I
[01:38] Remember our Spanish class
[01:50] She came in and she was like, oh p you got just
[01:55] Spray like glade air freshen. Did somebody smoke weed in your class?
[01:59] No, but they definitely did it in the bathroom and like the whole room and they just walked straight. Yeah
[02:06] Yes, yeah, we weren't that subtle a broader pool
[02:10] They probably they you know what they closed that school down not long after that. It's true
[02:15] It's true. Jason was the only reason that we were still a school for a while and after you graduate
[02:24] The so I
[02:27] My first instinct was it that it was like a version of onomatopoeia, but like
[02:33] Like why would you yell p you when something's like that just sense and it's a scent. It doesn't make a sound
[02:40] Right. It's not like so if we were to write it, how would we write it?
[02:46] Okay, so that's good. Good question. The way I wrote it in my notes for under Google was p ee ee ee
[02:54] you
[02:55] Www
[02:57] That's the way I generally think about it
[02:59] But then it also could just be the letters right like
[03:03] Yeah, so maybe that makes it like maybe it's it's an abbreviation for something. It's a little bit, you know
[03:11] More colorful that maybe you wouldn't say to children
[03:14] It was my thought but I don't know what I don't know what that would be
[03:18] not a lot of
[03:21] On start with you know, no, I'm unconscious. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna go ultra go Latin here
[03:31] perfume
[03:40] Yeah, I don't I'm struggling here I don't know and this predated cartoon skunks as far as we know
[03:49] Oh
[03:51] Like before Pepe lip you
[03:54] Got canceled. Good question
[03:57] Related to our senior
[04:00] comment is this an international term for
[04:05] Stinking us or do you think she picked that up after she came to the States?
[04:11] I'm gonna say that it it or some version of it
[04:16] I mean, I bet most cultures have something right and it's yeah
[04:21] I don't know. Maybe it's maybe it's close. I can't imagine cuz I'm with you
[04:24] They're like, there's no on amount of pia to be had like it's not like oink or you know what I mean
[04:31] There's one even so we've learned that or I guess Jill probably knew this
[04:36] but
[04:37] When Ethan learns the sounds of animals at his Spanish school, they're completely different
[04:42] But
[04:44] They at least make sense kind of right like a little bit. Yeah, Chinese ones are like that too, you know, like
[04:51] Yeah, some of them
[04:53] Yeah, I don't know like I don't follow
[04:57] That's a whole not a branch of study. Yeah
[05:01] So so our best guess so far is that it's an abbreviation for something
[05:07] The color for it or it came from Pepe la pew
[05:13] But I had always assumed that Pepe la pew was named for pew right was cleverly named after it. Yeah, exactly now now pew
[05:24] Pew has meaning
[05:27] As a word pew as in like the thing you sit down in church, yeah, and you know people fart there and they can't go anywhere
[05:34] Sure
[05:37] Okay, you know a Florida man named pew yeah, we do know Florida man named pew who also
[05:49] Shout out gassy man gassy Florida man
[05:55] So, yeah
[05:58] Stumped
[06:01] So what that I mean do we want to guess at a time frame this is normally where we go next I think is
[06:08] Yeah, that might help us. I
[06:10] mean, I feel like
[06:12] my
[06:13] I'm thinking
[06:15] 1800s ish. Oh
[06:18] Yeah, I think so better than that because I think everything stunk until yeah
[06:26] We had generally wide we had indoor plumbing. Yeah, and like
[06:31] Why even after that? I mean it's like
[06:34] Yeah, exactly. It's I'm saying I could the 40s or something like that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was thinking that maybe it's like
[06:42] From like the film the war era or something like that where everything everything is abbreviated like things are on the QT or like
[06:50] I
[06:52] Went to their house and it was really pew
[06:56] Okay
[06:57] So when things stick you definitely hold your nose, is there anything that could get us to pee you like another word
[07:06] Like sounds different
[07:08] With the nose plug thing happening. Yeah. No, that's a good question. I like that. I like that philosophy or theory
[07:21] What were you thinking time wise
[07:23] I think I'm closer to you. I just you know, I'd like I mean dude in like
[07:29] 1880s Chicago there was like a layer of horse dung a foot tall. You know what I mean? Like I
[07:36] Have you differentiate smelly from not smelly? Like it's just I don't know. I mean, yeah, I think I saw fairness
[07:43] That's urban life, but I saw a picture like it's an early photograph
[07:50] from Brooklyn
[07:51] Then there was like just a dead horse on the street. Yeah, like that's the thing
[07:57] They just frickin leave it there
[07:59] Yeah, there's no animal control come
[08:02] They'll come by eventually somebody but like I mean the rats and they not today. Yeah the dogs. Yeah
[08:11] So maybe it was the reverse maybe everything was so stinky that it started out if something smelled good it was perfumed up
[08:21] And so it was like that was the thing that stood out yeah, and then eventually got flipped maybe
[08:28] Well, I mean, so if something is perfumed up you made you perfumed it up because it stank
[08:34] Yeah, that's true. That's true. Mm-hmm. Yep. I
[08:38] Like it. I'm going with it. Let's go with that on chips in it's I mean if it's perfume
[08:44] Does it have to be French?
[08:49] No, okay because we we adopted that word from them very early. Yeah. Yeah, so I think it's yeah, I think it's
[09:01] Chicago
[09:05] Let's see, okay, so according to
[09:11] Gramer phobia, well this this is according to mental floss who's saying according to grammar phobia
[09:17] The exclamation likely derives from the early 17th century word pew
[09:23] Which the Oxford English dictionary defines as expressing contempt disgust or derision
[09:30] It's also been spelled
[09:33] pew pew e p e u h p e u g h and even p y o o
[09:45] The theories that people drew it out over two syllables for added flair
[09:53] so
[09:55] Wiktionary
[09:57] Has possible etymologies from Spanish foo f u an interjection
[10:03] Indicating disgust or from French way, which pew er, I'm assuming that's play
[10:11] Which is to stink
[10:15] Interesting, okay. Yeah, I'm seeing some that are
[10:21] from languages with Latin roots
[10:24] like with words like sort of
[10:28] Pee-tray or like Pee-tray basically
[10:31] Which means to rot
[10:36] Other things like pus
[10:38] Yeah
[10:40] and
[10:41] The and so I'm looking at you on the mental floss article at the bottom. It's saying that
[10:47] The letters pew have been associated with stench at least as far back as ancient Rome. Oh, wow
[10:54] We were way off
[10:56] frickin Romans started everything man
[11:00] And
[11:02] We're certainly no strangers to stay
[11:04] Yeah, right if there's a yeah, it's not doesn't seem
[11:15] It's not cut and dry but it's not there's definitely some question about it
[11:21] But what there's lots of things that overlaps like interestingly word or words that meant bad spelling
[11:29] Yeah, they're bad smelly
[11:36] That's a really that's a really good one
[11:39] Funk meaning bad smell has been around since the early 17th century. I think related to a French word
[11:46] Funky, eh, I'm quite sure funks only been around since the 70s
[11:53] Who's got the fuck we got the fuck
[11:59] Alright cool, thanks. Thanks for humor. Yeah. Thanks Joey. That was a good one
[12:04] That was that was good. I'm
[12:07] And it does not seem well certainly not limited to the United States
[12:11] This is a you know, it covers much much more than yeah, then then just that
[12:20] everybody has noses, so
[12:23] Apparently everyone has some sort of interjection for
[12:30] And that book that book
[12:32] Jason is I like that one. It's a fun one. There's there's a lot going on in the background
[12:38] Yeah, that book. It's like a Sesame Street
[12:40] Book, right? Yep. Yeah
[12:44] so
[12:45] There's a bunch of stuff going on. I'm not at all
[12:50] Sure that he he gets well, that's what's going on but he likes the pictures and he likes
[12:59] I don't know. He's a he's a big he's a big book guy
[13:02] I mean fairness that describes them most of my life too and I'm considerably older than your son
[13:11] We've got him on a program through the library. It's called 1,000 books before kindergarten and
[13:19] He is
[13:22] 300 books in it. So awesome. Yeah, it's amazing
[13:28] Yeah, but turns out kids books are real short so
[13:32] Fair point. I mean we still a lot of words
[13:36] It is a lot. Yeah
[13:38] Yeah, I feel not that confident that I've read a thousand books
[13:42] I mean, I'm sure that somehow or other that happened. But well, yeah
[13:50] I mean, you know before bed, you know, there's usually three because they're
[13:55] You know, they're ten pages long and
[13:58] And you blow through also sometimes he just he's saying hey, you know what we're done with this page
[14:06] Moving along dead
