  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration those old sayns, phrases, idioms, you know
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: those things your family and friends would usually come up with,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And they came from out of nowhere, and sometimes they
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: actually made sense. But where did they start? Who? What, where, when, why?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And how? Some of those old saynes are not only ancient,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: but you know what, they still carry a powerful punch today.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: In fact, the one that I live by every single
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: day is very much alive. Winning is it choice. The
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: goal of these episodes is to help preserve not only
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow Warding.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: This episode contains foul language. Now most of us can
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: handle it, but I don't know who's sitting in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: back of your car, shit or get off the pot.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's looked upon as being one of the crudest things
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we can say to another person, shit or get off
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the pot, dude. Yet it's painfully clear, shit or get
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: off the pod. I wasn't shocked to see that. It
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: grows from America's transition period, the days of all people
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: using an outhouse versus the plumbing we've got today. The
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: phrase pretty much tells the receiver to get done with
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what you set out to do. Shit or get off
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the pot. Here. It started showing up in American slang
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen thirties, officially becoming a full metaphor. By
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the mid twentieth century, soldiers, factory workers, and even politicians
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: were more likely to say shit or get off the pot.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: This this isn't just an action. It's the physical effort
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of sharing space as well as time. It reinforces the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: idea of thinking too long. It is a flow with productivity.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: There's pressure you gotta shit or get off the pot.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. But it can also lead
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to premature decision making, which adds even more discomfort and uncertainty.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It tends to shame people who need more time. If
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you aren't ready to get off the pot, than make
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a known. The outcome is your decision, and if you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: need more time, then say it. We've all been there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's time to shit or get off the pot. Something
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: our parents would say. My name is Arrow.
