10 Weird Dog Phrases!
Where did “barking up the wrong tree” actually come from? Hint: it involves coonhounds, raccoons, and a lot of canine embarrassment.
In this episode of Have YOU Heard?, we dig up the bizarre, surprisingly dark, and occasionally ancient origins of 10 dog phrases you use every single day — without knowing why.
From Davy Crockett to Chaucer to ancient Roman astronomy, the English language owes dogs WAY more than it lets on. We’re covering “dog days of summer,” “hair of the dog,” “let sleeping dogs lie,” “the underdog,” and seven more — all fact-checked, all sourced, and all weirder than you think.
Perfect for word nerds, history lovers, trivia junkies, dog people, and anyone who has ever used a phrase without knowing where it came from (so… everyone).
Watch, Learn and Enjoy!
