A&B Edition: Misconstrued Phrases

This week the girls take aim at... Misconstrued Phrases
In the seventh installment of the FNWF A&B Edition Bianca and Amy look at phrases and the variety of ways in which people can misconstrue them. For example, some people misconstrue a phrase by getting one or more words in the phrase wrong. Others misconstrue phrases by misunderstanding the meaning of the phrase itself.
Amy kicked us off this week introducing the night's topic. She then discussed the origin story of the term basket case. Bianca was so shocked she dropped her monocle!
Bianca then discussed three phrases that actually have meanings we knew nothing about. The second one was close to Bianca's heart as it is a saying used by Bianca's family for generations. It turns out the phrase was said backward however this shouldn't be an issue because they were not using the phrase as a basis for administering medical care to children right?
Amy finished us off by discussing words in popular phrases that people say wrong. The message here is Google phrases you say all the time to make sure you are getting them right otherwise you look like an idiot.
