Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So we've created this brand new podcast. It's called Music's
- 0:03Speaker 1: Lost History. You know the music, but do you know
- 0:06Speaker 1: the story? I mean, there used to be a time
- 0:08Speaker 1: when we would turn to AM, radio, MTV or wherever
- 0:11Speaker 1: else just to get the stories behind the music. So
- 0:14Speaker 1: what is going on with your favorite songs? Music's Lost
- 0:18Speaker 1: History Only on Ero dot net, Arrie dot net. Enjoy
- 0:23Speaker 1: your exploration something our parents would say, and your brothers
- 0:29Speaker 1: and your sisters, everybody around you. It usually comes out
- 0:32Speaker 1: of nowhere, and sometimes you know it actually makes sense,
- 0:35Speaker 1: but it all had to start somewhere, right Who, what, where, why, when?
- 0:38Speaker 1: And how? Some of those old saints are not only ancient,
- 0:41Speaker 1: but they still carry a very powerful punch today. My
- 0:45Speaker 1: name is Erro. Today we're exploring something that maybe a
- 0:49Speaker 1: little foul to listen to. So if you've got little
- 0:52Speaker 1: ones in the back end, or you've got bosses somewhere
- 0:55Speaker 1: in the nearby office, you might want to listen to
- 0:58Speaker 1: this in a more private situation. You don't know shit. Oh,
- 1:05Speaker 1: this was by far a huge part of my childhood,
- 1:08Speaker 1: led by a father who wasted absolutely no time calling
- 1:12Speaker 1: your actions and reactions out. You don't know shit. Shockingly
- 1:15Speaker 1: there's no real history of who coined this actual phrase.
- 1:20Speaker 1: It's seen as being a product that English slang has evolved,
- 1:24Speaker 1: especially when it comes to words that many call taboo.
- 1:28Speaker 1: You don't know shit. Let's break it down. You don't
- 1:31Speaker 1: know just that is old English. It's constructed from the
- 1:35Speaker 1: challenging and changing ways of a person's knowledge. You don't
- 1:38Speaker 1: know now, the word shit is old English as well,
- 1:42Speaker 1: reaching deep into those Middle Ages. What it's teamed up
- 1:45Speaker 1: with you don't know than what we've got right there
- 1:48Speaker 1: in the nineteenth century is you don't know shit. Completely
- 1:51Speaker 1: connected to working class people. It's military slang that eventually
- 1:56Speaker 1: made it to movies, stand up comedy, and of course music.
- 1:59Speaker 1: It's blunt, which, in an open door format, has allowed
- 2:03Speaker 1: comedians to create a total tie in. Hollywood felt the
- 2:07Speaker 1: same exact way in the nineteen seventies, claiming you don't
- 2:10Speaker 1: know shit sounds very real as well as raw. By
- 2:13Speaker 1: the late twentieth century, it had graduated beyond being vulgar,
- 2:18Speaker 1: and today it's kind of lightly salt and peppered into
- 2:22Speaker 1: situations like man, you don't know shit say. It's less
- 2:26Speaker 1: of a phrase and more about what it represents. H
- 2:30Speaker 1: you don't know shit. I guess we do now a
- 2:32Speaker 1: little bit more. This is something your parents would say.
