Mask up, grab your hand sanitizer and join the guys as they look at the origin and history of the word “Cooties.” 

In this episode, you’ll learn not only about why we all know the word “Cooties,” but also the history of the game “Cootie,” which has been around for a surprisingly long time. Hear Steve and Scott reminisce about simpler times, before the internet, when the peak of fun was pretending to vaccinate each other at the lunch table with imaginary needles.

In New Slang, Steve brings us into a world that he immediately regrets with “Mukbang.” Learn what the word means and why Steve’s opinion of his fellow man stooped even lower during the research for this episode, not to mention his triumphant return to the gym. 

The show wraps up with the origin of the classic idiom, “Under the Weather,” which has a very satisfying explanation. So heat up some chicken noodle soup, get under the covers, and hit play on this cootie-riddled episode of Origin of Speakcies.
