GMMore 1762: Ridiculous Food Slang (Game)

(rooster crowing) (lion growling) (metal booming) (wheel ticking) (Link clearing throat) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, let’s learn some slang together. – But first, gifticality means we’re donating $1,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation! Make-A-Wish grants life-changing wishes to children diagnosed with critical illnesses and we are very proud to have been a part of a few of those wishes. Join us in giving at wish.org/donate. – Thank you for being your mythical best and for hanging out with us in this More. We’ve wrapped up a three-day tourney on dippage. – I feel like we’ve accomplished– – I’m ’bout dipped out. – I mean I am, at this point, slightly regretting drinking all the ranch. I mean, in the moment, I got a little caught up in the moment. You put me to it. I did enjoy it, but sometimes my stomach is bigger than the ranch pocket there inside of it. You know, I filled out the ranch pocket. – Then that wouldn’t be a problem. – My eyes are bigger, the eyes of my ranch pocket are bigger than the size of the pocket. – Yeah, that’s what I would have said if I were you. (Rhett laughing) – Let’s just have some fun. – Yeah, let’s just have fun. – Let’s have some fun. – Right. – Stevie, how about this? – [Stevie] Okay. – You tell us what we’re doing and then we’ll be like, “That’s a good idea.” (Stevie laughing) – [Stevie] Okay, so I’m going to read like an idiom or a phrase, I’ll call these, that has food in it and then you’re gonna guess what it means. – Didn’t mean to show you the view from the bottom. – [Stevie] Okay. – That’s my dip socket. – [Stevie] All right. – Where’s your ranch pocket? – That’s my, I guess that’s it. It looks like I’m not wearing pants at all. – [Stevie] And– – Oh, there’s some pants. – Oh, gosh (giggling). – [Stevie] All of these idioms and phrases are from around the world so I’ll also tell you where they’re from. – Oh, oh. – [Stevie] And when you both inevitably get it incorrect, I’ll give you a sentence as a hint so that you can try and guess closer to what it actually means. – So vote of confidence. – I’m not sure what’s happening here, Stevie, with Link. – This is a representation of what your stomach is doing on that ranch coming out– – It’s ripping. My stomach is literally ripping up and the ranch is going into the rest of my body. – [Stevie] Can we make a compilation of every time Link is asked a question and immediately gone on to do another activity, when Link has immediately taken his shirt off. (laughing) – I don’t know, I don’t know exactly what’s happening. Why don’t you just ask us the first one? – [Stevie] A raisin in the sausage. – A raisin in the sausage? (Link giggling) So you’re saying that this could refer to anything. – It’s like a fly in the ointment but this is for people who make– – This is a kidney stone. – A raisin in the sausage is– – Yeah. – This is when you got a kidney stone. – [Stevie] It’s like a saying. These are all sayings, like– – I get it, I get it. – [Stevie] Yeah, okay. – I get it. – It’s from Ireland. – A raisin in the sausage? – Yeah, it’s when you got a kidney stone on its last leg, like it’s come all the way down– – No, it’s a little piece of– – And now it’s in the sausage and you’re like– – I know, we knew– – Hold on! – Wait, I get it. – A lot of people don’t know this and I haven’t had kidney stones, thank God, but they hurt when they’re coming down from the kidney. Once they get into the sausage, it’s actually home free. So a raisin in the sausage (clicking tongue)– – Home free. – Not a big deal. – The raisin’s in the sausage, no need to– – You want the raisin in the sausage. – I think a raisin in the sausage is a little bit of good news in the midst of something, of a nasty time. It’s like a silver lining. – So the raisin’s good and the sausage is bad? – Yeah, it’s a little sweet. – Interesting perspective on that one. Okay, what is it? – [Stevie] I mean Link is pretty dang close. It’s a nice surprise in something that’s already good. – Oh, yeah, so both things are good. – [Stevie] In Norway. – Both things are good, but a nice little extra something. – Okay, yeah. A raisin in the sausage. – [Stevie] Look at that! Round one and you’ve already kind of gotten one. – Right. And with every round, I’m gonna unbutton my shirt so that Rhett’s grandad. – No, he’s not into that. – Can take my photo. – He’s also been dead for quite some time. (crew laughing) – [Stevie] To slide in on a shrimp sandwich. (Rhett muttering) (Link stuttering) – Let me tell you, she slid in on a shrimp sandwich, you know? That’s kinda how that would come out. – I think it’s getting just under the wire, like, just barely getting, you know, barely taking care of business and some task. Boy, she slid in on a shrimp sandwich. If she hadn’t done that last little report, we woulda let her go. – I’m trying to make, I mean, what is a shrimp sandwich? – A small sandwich. – No. (crew giggling) A po’ boy? – Teeny little shrimp sandwich makes it under the water. – Slid in on a shrimp sandwich? I don’t know what a, I think it’s just something bizarre, like out of left field. Like, “That was really out of left field,” ’cause it’s nonsensical. – [Stevie] Neither are correct and as it pertains to just about everything, Kylie Jenner really slid in on a shrimp sandwich. – Oh. – Okay. Right into– – She didn’t earn it. – She didn’t earn it. – She didn’t earn it. – She (stuttering) – [Stevie] Yeah, when someone hasn’t had to work to get where they are and it’s from Sweden. – Yeah, ’cause they’re sliding on shrimp sandwiches everywhere up there. Saw that on the internet. – She got, that sounds more like you got here by accident. Like, if you slid on a banana peel is what I would think. – I think a shrimp sandwich is very slide-y. – Yeah, like a banana peel. – Yeah, and so– – That sounds a little different. She got here by accident versus she got here through no effort. Two different things. – But if you slide on a shrimp sandwich, you didn’t locomotor yourself there. – No points given. – [Stevie] Dumplings over flowers. – Dumplings over flowers. That means I’d rather you do something that’s gonna help me than just kiss my ass. – Feed me, I think it’s more specific. I’d rather be fed than wooed. Like this is about dumplings over what, flowers? – [Stevie] Dumplings over flowers. – Yeah, do something meaningful for me. Feed me versus just flatter me. – I think it’s needs over wants. – [Stevie] I think Rhett’s close. It’s choose something useful over something pretty. – Yeah. – Hold on. – [Stevie] And it’s from Japan. – Dumplings over flowers. – I think that’s what I would say. Needs over wants. – I was saying something that is not just superficial, a show of kindness. I want you to do something for me, like if my grandad, and all his topless photos, he died and then we realized that we wanted to put the topless photos in his casket with him, and you were like, “Here’s some flowers,” and I’ll be like, “No, just open up the casket “and put the topless photos in there with him “because that’s what I asked for.” Dumplings over flowers. He’s been dead over 25 years, I can talk like this. – Okay. – [Stevie] To give pumpkins to someone. – Pumpkins rot quickly. – To give pumpkin, I kinda need it in a sentence ’cause like– – I don’t think that’s one of the rules. – Well, she gave me pumpkins. Something worthless. Pumpkin’s not worthless. – I think pumpkins are empty compliments. – I think that’s too specific. I think it’s more generic, like, just something you don’t want, like she gave me something I didn’t want. – [Stevie] Close. I mean yeah, it’s to reject someone. To give someone pumpkins, I guess, is to reject someone, in Spain. – So what’s the– – You know, it’s probably some translation issues. – What is our idiom for that? When you reject someone? It’s like (Link slurring). – She swiped– – Kicked him to the curb. – Left. – Kicked you to the curb. – Is it left? – [Stevie] To live like a maggot in bacon. (Link scoffing) – A maggot in bacon. That sounds like– – It’s like high on the hog. – Yeah. It’s just somebody who’s completely stepping in high cotton. – [Stevie] What? – Walking in high cotton. – It means you’re– – It’s just a saying that says you’re on top of the world. – You got a lot, you got a lot. You’re being overwhelmed with luxuries. – #Blessed. – [Stevie] Yeah. Yeah, it’s from Germany. To live luxuriously. Let me see. I kinda wanna– – So we both got that point? – Yeah. Sure (Rhett mumbling). Yeah. It’s right. – [Stevie] To pace around hot porridge like a cat. – Oh, that means you are stepping so light. That means it’s just like, “I have to walk on eggshells “around her.” – I think it’s impatient because that cat’s gonna eat that porridge when it cools off. Impatience. – [Stevie] Yeah, I think it’s walking on eggshells. It means to avoid directly addressing something or neglecting to speak your mind, and it’s from Finland. – Finland, huh? – I think eggshells is better than that because it’s like, you’re walking on eggshells… – Gotta be real delicate. – Real light. But a cat on porridge can potentially break it, but– – Cat around porridge, right? – [Stevie] To pace around hot porridge like a cat. – Yeah. – [Stevie] And of course, we all know this last one: to hang noodles on the ears. – Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – Hang noodles on the ears? – That is– – that’s make someone look like an idiot. Maybe to make themselves look like an idiot. – I think when you hang noodles on your ears, you’re trying to draw attention to yourself. – [Stevie] Link’s pretty close. It’s to fool or lie to someone. – Oh. – In Russia. – No, that’s different, though. I can’t give myself that one. I can’t take that point, Stevie. It’s not what I meant. – [Stevie] Okay. I’ll take it back, thank you. – Take it back. – Take that point back. – But yeah, okay, that’s what I use. Are you hanging noodles on my ears? Lying to me. Is your ear burning? – Yeah, it’s adorning. – Your nose itching? – Adorning someone’s ears with something– – Yeah, yeah. Lying to ’em. – Noodle-y. Is that it? – Feeding me bull and keeping me in the blind. – I think we got– – Like a mushroom. – I think we got pretty good sayings here in America. We got bullcrap. You know what that is. You got high on the hog, you already said that. That’s where the good meat is. High on the hog. – Oh, really? Is that– – The loin. – Is that what that saying– – Oh, we’re eating high on the hog tonight, yeah. Because the– – I never knew that. – The belly fat, the fatty meats were considered not good cuts of meat before people figured out how to cook them slowly to render the fat. – Really? So the high… The high parts of the hog. Huh. – That’s the leanest, cleanest meat. – I just thought that that, I never thought that it had an origin, you know? ‘Cause you forget the origin. You just know what it means but you don’t know why it means it. – Like a cow pissing on a flat rock. – Well that one’s easy ’cause it’s like (stuttering) ’cause you have to say it’s raining. – Right. – Like a cow pissing on a flat rock. It’s not like (Rhett giggling) you’re not, “I’m a cow pissing on a flat rock,” that’s not how you say that. – Yeah, I mean, but I knew what you– – So high on the hog? High on the hog? I think I literally thought you were like– – [Both] Riding a hog. – Yeah, it’s like, “Boy’s living large. “Look, he’s riding a hog!” – And he’s way up there. – He’s pretty high up on it. – Man, he’s as high as he could get. – What’s another one? High on the hog. – Low on the totem pole. – Yeah, what’s wrong with that, though? – What? – I think a totem pole, that’s ancestors. – So what’s wrong with that? – It’s like a hierarchy. – Is it? – I think so. – I don’t know. – If you’re at the top, you’re the best. High on the hog. High on the totem pole is also an expression. – No, it’s not. – It should be. – It’s not, though. – Yeah. – Low on the totem pole is. That’s the one we were just talking about. – Right. – What’s another one? – (crew member) Kate said when pigs fly. – When pigs fly? – When pigs fly because pigs don’t fly but if they did I’d be – [Both] High on that hog.
