Pre-Gog

[00:00] Do you want to do another one since we just nailed that so quickly and that that went too. Well, we've got a come on
[00:05] Let's challenge ourselves
[00:09] We don't stop until we embarrass ourselves let's go one way
[00:17] We do under Google rules that was the play of super excited told us we had to
[00:35] We said we signed up for it in the end, it's gonna be better and more true than Google can give you
[00:45] So since we're since we're doing oral fixation stuff
[00:50] How about baited breath?
[00:54] Hmm, what do you got on baited breath?
[00:57] On the context of like I'm waiting with baited breath correct anxious
[01:03] Eagerly awaiting some future event, right?
[01:09] baited and baited is B-A-T-E-D. That's what I was going to say. That's what I would go with as well
[01:16] But I kind of stopped breath like a bait it's a bait is mm interesting
[01:22] I was thinking withdraw more along the lines of
[01:28] Literally like a baited hook right and so maybe you can't many catch your breath like as if someone had you know
[01:36] Caught it with bait. Okay sort of a thing was my visualization of it. That's a very cool
[01:43] Yeah, that might have solved this I've never seen it written and I was just assumed it was
[01:48] Okay, I'm fairly sure it's B-A-I
[01:52] B-A-I-T-E-D. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, which would be I like the idea of catching one's breath
[02:01] With like a smashing a hook. Yeah, see you cuz it says you've bait a hook
[02:06] You bait a breath
[02:07] Yeah, you bait a hook and then when you get it along the same lines of like, yeah, I'm like holding my breath to
[02:14] To hear this thing like I can't breathe until I hear this thing or the reverse which is like I'm you know
[02:20] Don't hold your breath. It's not gonna happen soon. Right? Well, I wonder if it is with fishing then right?
[02:26] So like I'm I'm trying to be quiet and not
[02:31] Hmm I've just cuz fishing is boring
[02:34] Well, it's boring but you also want to you want to but then there's a sudden moments of excitement
[02:40] You want to hold your breath when the fish is nearby because you don't want to make any sudden movements, right?
[02:45] So it's a it's the breath you have when you have a baited hook. All right, maybe too literal
[02:53] Can we think of another? Well, you said is a bait. How else do you bait? Yeah baited breath. Hmm
[03:03] If it would be I don't even know if B A T E D is a word. Well, I don't know either
[03:09] But I mean, there's no reason that that's how I that's how I
[03:12] That's how you wrote it down B A T E D. I wrote it down B A I T E D is what I wrote it
[03:18] Okay, but it doesn't
[03:20] Doesn't mean that that's correct. I didn't look at that. So I
[03:25] Mean that that would seem fairly straightforward. It's just the abatement of breath
[03:29] Right, right. And I think that's probably right. It probably is right
[03:33] Do you so are there other uses a bait B A I T E or B I T I need to go
[03:47] Not really right like you bait a trap that's like
[03:54] Let's get let's go fishermen this is we haven't had a nautical term in a while
[04:00] And a lots of things come from boats, right? Haven't we had many? Yeah, a lot of them
[04:05] Yeah, for sure many afraid we have
[04:08] Cats of nine tails and really important part of human history is our relation to water
[04:14] I like the cut of your jib and whatnot. But if we're going with
[04:22] To a bait right with the root of that is what probably
[04:28] Roman latin latin probably and it probably means to stop. Yeah, you know
[04:38] so
[04:40] That's probably the right answer. It's probably just Latin for stopping your one of the one of the planies
[04:45] Yeah, okay. I'll take Herman Melville. You take plenty
[04:51] So when I said when I type the word baited
[04:59] Because Google's listening to me it autofills baited breath spilt B A T E T go
[05:11] Baited breath first appeared in Shakespeare's merchant of Venice
[05:17] We haven't had Shakespeare in a while we suck on ourselves on that one
[05:22] How do you not go with Shakespeare with a made up with a made-up work? Come on, right? Come on
[05:27] Undebeatables. Yeah, he had to shorten it so that he could keep his I am a hundred percent
[05:31] Yeah, yeah in great
[05:36] Shorten form of a baited made stopped or reduced. Yeah. All right, Shakespeare
[05:48] Holding their breath and excitement short for a baited. Yeah baited is not any common use anymore except in this phrase
[05:57] Okay, that's fun. Is it interesting? Is that is that like a lost positive or something?
[06:04] No, well
[06:11] It's a lost it's not even a contraction. It's just like a well it's
[06:16] Because Jason said cooth earlier and I was like, oh
[06:23] When I typed in baited breath the third option was baited or baited the way we had spelled it so I don't feel so dumb
[06:30] Yeah, it's apparently a very common error. So yeah, okay. I mean it makes sense since bait is is not a word
[06:38] Not a word in any other context
[06:42] Well, that's fun to know at least
[06:47] So apparently it's rising again and
[06:50] On this page the grammar is has a you know use one of those usage charts over time
[06:55] And so it it's nothing until the 1860s
[07:00] It starts to go up peaks and around 1900 falls back down and now it's been coming back up since the 2000s interesting
[07:07] In the usage. Yeah, she's got real nervous about y2k
[07:16] Although I do I'm now when I say that phrase or hear that phrase
[07:20] I'm just gonna see the guy with his little fishing pole
[07:24] over on his boat over a fish
[07:27] waiting with baited breath
[07:29] Hmm. I like the wrong answer more than I like the right one sometimes
[07:35] It's often the case with life synonyms a gog
[07:44] Eager sure excited enthusiastic flabbergasted
[07:49] Open mouth and thunderstruck
[07:53] Really what those are synonyms
[07:58] According to your grammar ist
[08:00] taken aback
[08:02] But in that as well, but I but I but I think of it as as as the ops thunderstruck does seem like more
[08:12] Shocked then and also a gog I think and well in flabbergasted
[08:17] Right, like I mean, I instead I think of like I'm in it. I'm waiting anxiously in anticipation. I'm not I've not had the
[08:26] Flabbergasted in a gog are the response to those things. I feel like this is the pre
[08:32] thunderstruck or whatever
[08:34] Pre-gog. I'm wet
