America's secret slang. Season 1. Episode 4, West word, ho! / written and directed by Gabriel Rotello ; host, Zach Selwyn ; produced by Flight 33 Productions LLC for H2
America's Secret Slang proves that we speak history every day as it documents the stories behind our unique American version of English, from words like "southpaw" to phrases like "bet your bottom dollar". Expressions from "riffraff" to "betting your bottom dollar", "passing the buck", "acid test" and even "heard it through the grapevine" all come from America's frontier days
