Short Stuff: More Phrase Origins

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating origins of three common phrases: "take it with a grain of salt," "close but no cigar," and "southpaw." While they nail the carnival game origin of "close but no cigar," the guys discover that tracing back "grain of salt" is frustratingly murky, and "southpaw" has competing origin stories from both boxing and baseball that are equally plausible. It's a fun exploration of how some phrases have crystal-clear histories while others seem to have just mysteriously appeared in our vocabulary with no clear explanation.
