Rhymes with Jaw

[00:00] Here's another wild stat.
[00:02] It took Rick Smith's 867 games to get his 1,111 blocks.
[00:11] And it has taken Miles Turner 48.
[00:14] Rick Smith is also like 7'9", right?
[00:23] Yes.
[00:25] All right.
[00:29] We have not done it on Google in a while, so I figure we should do one.
[00:34] Coalson, what can we solve for you this week?
[00:50] We do it under Googles.
[00:51] That was the play-up.
[00:52] I'm super excited.
[00:53] You told us we had to.
[00:54] You said we signed up for it.
[00:55] In the end, it's going to be better and more true than Google can give you.
[01:07] Well, I have questions all the time, and I usually hold them, I write them down, I put
[01:12] them in my pocket, and I say, I'm going to wait until I talk to my smartest friends.
[01:17] This week, I've got one stuck in my craw.
[01:26] So I guess it's multiple questions here.
[01:35] What's a craw and what's stuck in it?
[01:39] Good place to start.
[01:42] What is your sense of what the ... So what's the meaning of this phrase first?
[01:47] Let's start there.
[01:49] I always thought of it as something that was, I was annoyed or pissed off because there
[01:55] was something bothering me.
[02:00] Yep.
[02:01] I'm with you there.
[02:02] That's it.
[02:03] Harper, that's your general.
[02:06] Lasting irritation, perhaps?
[02:08] Yeah.
[02:09] Yeah.
[02:10] I'm particularly upset about the fact that this thing is stuck in my craw.
[02:16] But is craw an eye, a mouth, a butthole?
[02:23] I don't know what my craw is.
[02:26] I know about a craw dad or a craw fish, which is a mini lobster, basically.
[02:36] Right?
[02:37] Okay.
[02:40] Is that what a craw dad is?
[02:41] A craw dad is a craw dad and a craw fish, the same thing and a googable inside and a googable?
[02:46] No, no, no.
[02:47] The craw dad is like the little bitty thing and the craw fish is what you get and they're
[02:52] like mini lobsters.
[02:55] So what's a craw dad?
[02:56] A craw dad is like a little, it's got like little pincers, it's like what you catch
[02:59] in the crick.
[03:00] In the crick?
[03:01] Oh, okay.
[03:02] I think you catch a craw fish, is ... So if you were to order them, they're all little
[03:10] things with pincers.
[03:12] Yeah.
[03:13] You guys didn't catch craw dads when you were a kid?
[03:14] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[03:15] You catch them in the creek and you put them in a little aquarium and they die a couple
[03:20] days later?
[03:21] We did not do that.
[03:22] Okay.
[03:23] I did that.
[03:24] I'm with you.
[03:25] Okay.
[03:26] Okay.
[03:27] And so a craw fish is just larger than that?
[03:31] Yeah, but I would assume it's a different species.
[03:35] Okay.
[03:36] You know what they say about assuming, right?
[03:40] That's true.
[03:41] Okay.
[03:42] All right.
[03:43] A craw, let's get back to a craw.
[03:46] Harper, you intonated earlier and we were discussing this that it's a mouth thing.
[03:51] I thought a craw was mouth.
[03:53] So my sort of intuition on this one is that if a human or perhaps an animal gets something
[04:00] stuck in their craw, and maybe I just think that because it rhymes with a jaw, could
[04:05] be no more complex than that.
[04:07] But if he gets something stuck, like a piece of food, it will decay and cause irritation
[04:13] potentially.
[04:14] Yeah.
[04:15] Yeah.
[04:16] Well, there is a thing, like birds have a crop, which is like the thing before the
[04:23] esophagus that like grinds up seeds and stuff like that.
[04:29] So maybe you're conflating crop and jaw, I don't know.
[04:34] Side note, I agree with you.
[04:37] My initial thinking was that it was oral in some way, shape, or form.
[04:40] I don't know why.
[04:42] But I don't think of it as in the back of my throat because then I'd be choking, right?
[04:46] I think of it as like it's stuck in my tooth.
[04:51] So you also had an oral connotation to this.
[04:56] I mean, I don't know, it was an irritant.
[04:59] So like I thought, I guess I thought, yeah.
[05:03] One of the holes.
[05:04] I figured it was either, I figured it was my teeth.
[05:07] Something's caught in my teeth, I think.
[05:09] Yeah.
[05:10] Okay.
[05:13] Okay.
[05:15] And so that makes sense.
[05:16] If something gets stuck in your craw, you get a toothache.
[05:20] It's a real pain in the A, you know?
[05:24] So where do we think this is coming from?
[05:29] Like what time period?
[05:31] What region?
[05:32] Is this an American thing?
[05:33] It seems like an American thing, but it may be an American.
[05:36] Well, okay.
[05:37] So here's, I guess if it's stuck in your craw, it's not just an irritant.
[05:42] It's an irritant that is such a big deal that it's sort of outraging you and you can't
[05:47] really focus on anything else, right?
[05:51] I've got something stuck in my craw.
[05:52] I got to talk about it right now.
[05:54] Okay.
[05:55] Right?
[05:56] Sure.
[05:57] So it's not like having, you know, a popcorn seed in between your teeth.
[06:00] It's more dramatic than that.
[06:04] I feel like if I have a popcorn thing stuck in my teeth, I got to deal with it right then.
[06:08] I can't just, like I'm, you know, mid-conversation and just like kind of finger in and out trying
[06:16] to get it out.
[06:17] Kind of noodling it with your tongue.
[06:18] Like I'm not, I'm trying to be, you know, tactful or cooth in that situation.
[06:22] Okay.
[06:26] So, but to me, it sounds like a rural America type of thing.
[06:32] Yeah.
[06:33] I could buy that.
[06:34] It definitely feels like animal husbandry thing.
[06:36] Like I don't feel like this really is a human thing.
[06:39] I feel like it's an animal thing.
[06:41] Like you get an animal, it gets stuck in their craw, it gets infected and then you got chopped
[06:45] set off.
[06:46] Oh, God.
[06:47] Oh, God.
[06:48] Okay.
[06:49] So that's definitely rural.
[06:50] I thought we had to pull some teeth.
[06:51] We had to cut their head off.
[06:57] So are you talking about like, so you're thinking like it's for a cow?
[07:00] A falconry.
[07:05] What about, what about horse racing?
[07:06] Could be horse racing.
[07:07] Hey, let's go horse racing.
[07:08] Let's go.
[07:09] Okay.
[07:10] So what if your craw is your toes or something?
[07:13] Like it's in your hoof and then like that really bothers you.
[07:18] Stuck in your craw.
[07:19] Yeah.
[07:20] It's like a bunion or something.
[07:23] Yeah.
[07:24] Like if you get like a, you know, a nail or a piece of wood or something spiked up
[07:28] in your...
[07:29] Oh, no, no.
[07:30] I'm just saying.
[07:31] Like if you have a thing on your foot, it's like annoying because you walk everywhere.
[07:35] Yeah.
[07:36] It hits you every time.
[07:39] Just like if you have an annoyance in your mouth, you have to eat.
[07:42] So it's going to bother you every day.
[07:47] But I'm with you Jason.
[07:48] I think this is a, it's a rural America 1800s slang, craw is a slang term for, for your
[07:56] mouth hole, for your face hole.
[07:59] And you, and they call it, they've called it craw for other situations in the past.
[08:05] And somehow this is what filtered down.
[08:09] All right.
[08:10] I'm with you.
[08:11] So I'm thinking Georgia O'Keeffe.
[08:19] Georgia O'Keeffe.
[08:20] You guys love it when I guess that.
[08:28] All right.
[08:29] So according to the Southern standard, stuck in one's craw means annoyed by something unpleasant
[08:36] but forced to accept.
[08:39] This saying comes from food, which is collected in a foul's preliminary stomach called a
[08:44] craw.
[08:45] I always thought it was called a craw.
[08:46] The craw is the crap, but or preliminary stomach of a foul or it is predigested through the
[08:53] use of grit and stones swallowed before going on into the gizzard to finally dissolve into
[09:02] either usable form.
[09:03] Okay.
[09:04] So it's so you, so you nailed that the crop, but, but here's the thing does, is it the
[09:11] idea that it's something that you can't break down with your little stone stuff in the
[09:15] crop.
[09:16] Right.
[09:17] So it's hunters centuries ago.
[09:19] Notice the sunburst swallowed.
[09:20] This is from, um, whatever phrase origins or whatever.
[09:24] It's a stone that were too large to pass through the craw and into the digestive track.
[09:28] These stones, unlike the sand and pebbles needed by the birds to help crime the food,
[09:32] literally stuck in the crop.
[09:33] Oh, I see.
[09:35] Right.
[09:36] Okay.
[09:37] And the odd part of the language in hunters used to figure the earliest known citation
[09:44] is from old times in Tennessee and is a by Josephus Kahn guilt 1878.
[09:53] I think we kind of nailed, we nailed the timeline for sure.
[09:57] And also you guessed the bird crop.
[10:00] I, it's very literal though.
[10:03] It's something it's a stone actually stuck in their craw.
[10:07] Okay.
[10:08] One of the mold folks.
[10:12] See isms.
