• 0:28
  Speaker 1: most of today's young adults talk kind of weird what
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: they're saying? It's like, what I don't get it? Those
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: are old saints. A lot of them came from a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: history that many people don't know. Yeah, those old sayts
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the things that your family and friends usually come up
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: with that come out of absolutely nowhere, and sometimes they
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: actually make sense. Well, they had to start somewhere, who, what, where, why, when?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And how. Some of those old saynts are not only ancient,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but they still carry a powerful punch today. Something our
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: parents would say, my name is Eric. Oh, we've all
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: heard this one. You don't know your ass from a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: hole in the ground. I feel like I'm watching that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: seventy show. Well, guess what. Such a phrase or quote
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: still bears the title of being vulgar. In fact, writing
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and mental health experts continue with this is ignorant, which
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is pretty much what's being said to the one receiving
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the message you don't know your ass from a hole
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in the ground. Most language experts trace it all the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: way back to the nineteenth century, especially in the rural
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and working class communities. During both World Wars, the phrase
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was used a lot, believing it used crude humor to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: cut tensions. You don't know your ass from a hole
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the ground. What's so funny about that? So what
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: does it really mean? A lack of awareness, poor judgment,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a way of showing frustration towards someone that should really
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: know better. It's actually stronger to say you don't know
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you from a hole in the ground, rather than a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: simple you're wrong wrong. Why does it continue to affect
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: us years after it was given birth? Well, it normalizes
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: insults and humor. It's seen as being blunt communications, escalating conflict.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It's pretty much still here because it's simple, visual and emotional.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It's one of those phrases that are effective and destructive
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: at the same time. And who better to know that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: than my father Joe. You don't know your ass from
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a hole in the ground, something our parents would say.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: My name is Harrow.
