Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Greg Alba & John Humphrey dive into their Reaction & Review for Bridgerton Season 1, Episode 6, titled “Swish.” As the social season races toward its climax, Daphne and Simon’s marriage is tested in ways neither of them anticipated, and the emotional stakes skyrocket inside the ton. In this pivotal episode, Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor, Younger, Fair Play) and Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, For the People) confront the painful truth behind Simon’s vow never to have children. What begins as simmering tension erupts into one of the most talked-about and controversial scenes of the season, forcing both characters to reckon with betrayal, power, and the meaning of marriage. Meanwhile, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey, Wicked, Broadchurch) continues his complicated affair with Siena Rosso (Sabrina Bartlett, The Larkins), torn between duty and desire. Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie, Vanity Fair, Line of Duty) grows increasingly determined to uncover the identity of Lady Whistledown, while Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan, Derry Girls, Barbie) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton, The Lodge) navigate shifting romantic expectations.

How do the most successful women do it? We ask them on how she does it with Karen Feinerman. You'll get insights from leaders like today's Jenna Bush Hager. There's a lot I say no to, and I think it's a really important word for women to use. Rachel Weber of Paris Hilton's 1111 media. I'm going to be a much better leader. I'm going to bring more creativity if I have other things filling my life. And more.

That's how she does it with me, Karen Feinerman, wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you to Hewle for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Anyway, let's find that what's going on in this episode called Swish. We're going to play basketball. All right, guys. Well, hey, the full reaction watch along where you sync up with your own copy of Bridgerton. That's available for our Royal Rejects or Patreon page.

It gets specifically the Dr. Shrain shirt that John's the work. Yes, that's the one that matches this show. Or Space Babies of the Galaxy. I know you're Richardson fans out there. Love babies.

You know how to dress for the show you're wearing. Yeah, this is a very visually stimulating show. Wow. Wow. So you were tearing up there, John. Yeah, man, it was intense. Like a, like a bitch. Like a little girl.

Yeah, like girls do. Little little girls are always just out here crying. That's what girls do. I couldn't tell, though, which was the thing getting you? Was it A? Take this helpful question there. Was it A? Daphne's pain.

B. Simon's pain. C. Both. D. The possibility of their children. A child from the future. Farbroken by the consequences of this moment. uh i would say it is c all of the above but not below because uh we all know that that's just the twist so you know i was i'm already you know i've already coped with that reality that it's the kid

from the future makes sense uh yeah i don't know like just the the is the nuance you know it's just one of those things where you know you can see very clearly as the outside observer that like oh yes this deceit on simon's part is a bad call and it is a huge you know this could end everything And it's, you know, a big significant thing. And it's also something that they could work through. But it's just one of those, yeah, it's like he has this hugely ingrained thing that, you know, he's adamant about. But yeah, he hasn't portrayed in the clearest light and probably has convinced himself to a degree is the way he wants to portray it rather than the way it actually is. And then, yeah, for her, it's this conversation that should have happened before that never.

happened because, you know, nobody's been able to challenge him on this yet. And, uh, yeah, I just felt like a real life, a real lifey moment, you know, of all conflicts. And granted, this is a universe where yes, like, especially like having kids as the lady of the house is your freaking job. Uh, but also, Daphne really wants kids. And yeah, and she has that point of like, you didn't give me the option. You know, we didn't get to address this. You're not living in the present of this with me. You're in the past of this with your pain. And, you know, you know, You know, you can't see through that to get to me. And that was just like a real thing.

That was a real thing. Real shit. I like thematically how that story is, like, she's like taking ownership of him there. And like, it's not like you just get pregnant right away. But, you know, it seems like at this time you might actually get pregnant right off the first time. You go for it. There's a likelihood could be pregnant. And her having a baby with a father who does.

like who doesn't want to be a father. Yeah. And then you have the on the flip side with Marinoza, that's the main other storyline, her having a child as well. And she's in search of like having a father form. So there's like this like fatherless thing going on here and like this generational trauma. Marina doesn't even, not Marana. Daphne's father's dead, you know.

And you got Anthony who's like constantly trying to be a father here to everyone. So there's a lot of these like random father things in this rather female centric show. in a lot of ways. And it's not like super on the nose a lot of the time. No. This like fatherless department. But it's very much prevalent.

And yeah, I like the, I like the way that it all played out because it was so honeymoony in the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. I've never seen a show that like,

or a storyline that is about that. Like, hey, he keeps pulling out. He keeps pulling out. Yeah. What does that mean? And I forget that.

Oh, yeah. At this time, they might not actually understand fully what that means. Yeah. That we don't, they don't have like the sexual education anywhere near as much or it's really easy for them to miss that. Yeah. Like what does it hurt?

Yeah. Yeah. What's going on with you? I forget those things. So having that is like an actual moment of conflict was a really interesting one. Yeah. Well, and yeah, this really highlights that double standard of like as a girl, you might never get told about any of this. It's really up to the luck of the drawn who's around you.

Whereas like as a guy seems like by and large, unless you're isolated, someone's going to make sure you learn all this stuff. Yeah. Someone's going to make sure. Yeah. you get like a proper education before you go out and be proper again. Like when I was struck by the casual nature by which Anthony was like, I should, I got to take you to the brothels and stuff, man.

Yeah. Like it's weird. Like that's, I know that that's not something that they would probably want to say in public, but like between brothers, the way it was said as casually as it was in that moment suggested to me. I'm like, oh yeah,

this is like the unspoken right of passage is very common. They're like, that I wouldn't have expected. Don't think. with your... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, don't think with that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't, man. A lot of trouble kids cause in these worlds. Man,

the way she was trying to learn how to navigate being a Duchess here and with the act of trying to just like do the right thing and be good and be fair and equal. Suddenly makes you the bad guy. And you're like, Oh shit, that really, like, imploded on me.

Yeah. Yeah, I was just trying to be nice. And then, you know, here I come to understand. Yeah, I didn't understand. Even with, like, the workers, the head worker or servant. I don't know if I, like, call them a worker is like, call where really is servant. Or if I call them service, like, that's degrading. Call them work.

I don't know what the right word is on. Yeah. She's the general manager. The general manager of the Dutch. The Duke and the Dutch. This is Colson or whatever. Yeah. that whole storyline.

And also like watching a little bit of how Daphne seemed to be a bit like her mom in that arena where she was able to get to that woman's emotions, like play the game a little bit to mine some information. Yeah. And to, you know, get hopefully more pleasant interactions moving forward or less, you know, sort of. It's all about manipulation, John. Yeah, that's true. It's all the politics, man. It's all the game. Even when you're alone on the lawn having love in front of the geese.

well and all joking aside the whole Penelope marina thing is really conflicting but team Penelope all the way that baby and her mom it is conflicting especially right down to the wire there at the very end

like oh that's a really tragic you know like that that that exposure that she had there and the shame that would be inflicted on her and of course like the distrust of Colin in that moment what that might do to them right when she was on the cuss of actually getting this.

And if it was Penelope who, it has to be somehow Penelope. That's what I'm saying, you know? Yeah. I don't know. Like, it seems like it very well could be. There's like two people I know. Yeah. There's the mom and the daughters. They're not really characters. And it would suck if it was one of the other two sisters who sucks.

But it's like, I think the implication, like Penelope went to Eloise. Yeah. She was like, who's it Eloise? But I don't know. Would Eloise go with the? a whole thing of being like, I'm trying to see if you're Lady Whistledon. I don't know. It's like Lady Featherington would be a weird pull,

I think, because she got way too many problems. I feel like her friend who is helping her is not... She went through all the issues. It's all just a giant game to me. I just want to watch us all collapse. I want to work like hell to get you engaged.

Who else? Yeah, yeah, yeah, can't be heard. And her friend isn't, who is helping her isn't enough of a character. I don't know. I think it wouldn't be... You wouldn't be able to guess it.

So, yeah, I mean, Penelope or Eloise seem like really... Penelope has risen up the polls for me in terms of possibility. But Penelope's also doing this in like the name of love, at least in her way, you know? Because she's trying to protect Colin and she loves Colin. It is a desperate act.

But also like to freaking, I don't know. It's tough. But if she wasn't in love with Colin, would she be doing the same thing, you know? But she's just being like, yay, whatever, use him. It's hard. Like, it's a really hard situation. It's weird.

I guess in a way you could interpret that as like she tries to tell Colin. And I mean, she tries to tell. It's hard. Yeah, it cooks your brain. And I don't know. Like to tell everybody that way seems like after him not believing her is the kind of only way to really put the truth out there. Yeah. But that would just be so savvy.

I don't know. It's weird. It's because like Marina is in such a terrible position that it is like. it's hard it's like it sucks for colin but also given what society is like it's like an even shittier position for marina so i don't it's like nobody looks good or is is there's nothing clean about this no yeah but if you have to decide like i get marina the most in the situation because i'm like you're just doing what you have to do friggin in a world that's like on the verge of casting you into a really really deep dark hole you know Colin

this is shitty for him but like given the way society works like you know he'll probably come out on the other side fine enough minus the emotional trauma he'll be fine which you know that doesn't matter as much when you've got privilege and status and you're you know

the upper crust of society he'll be fine and you're a man but uh yeah this is a very potent episode and but then marina even said things to Penelope that were mean after that she did sorry sorry marina she crushed her hard to feel sympathy for you right now in this moment.

Yeah, man. We're all that little girl right now. Just be like, I love it. You're too mean to her. This was a good, like, Goodfellas kind of episode. The first half is like, all fun and games. We're just doing it all the time. And the second half is like, oh, no, the crash.

Everything's ugly. The society is so constricting. Yeah. And being a Duke is not just hanging out in the house all day. No, apparently he's doing... You've got to... Paperwork. You've got to be, like, an economist and a low-key politician,

and you got to be like, you know, help running the town a little, or at least doing things to affect the greater population. That job looks boring as hell. This show is going to make you forget about the fact that, like, oh, yeah, like this, part of this makes me what, like, there should be a freaking night of the seven kingdoms for this kind of show where it is just like, I forget that the small folk exist in this world. And then the Mad Hatter guy showed up, and I was like, oh, that's right. All you people are out here.

All the rest of us are out here. For sure. It's funny. Hey, let's watch the people. Let's talk. We get questions now and have for some time. It's a terrible idea. The Bride Wars.

Do we have no questions today? We only got a couple. No, this is for one by five. Oh. You got to get to one by six. Brough. We might not have any questions today. Wow.

How could we? Okay, here we go. Here we got a few. A hell of questions. All right. Amanda Hayward. Daphne. And Simon have great chemistry.

Fact. I got to get out of here soon, guys. But massive communication issues. Been there. Daphne's lack of sexual knowledge because of the era, not because she's a dumbass, meant she couldn't make informed choices. And Simon knew that.

Saying he can't have children instead of, was deeply misleading. It's a lie is what it is. That is not the truth. It is 100% Not the distortion. It's not even misleading.

It is a lie. I couldn't have been prior to than if they were based on real grades. Maybe in his edit is like, I don't know. I mean, I believe it's so much that I can't. Well,

Daphne's, well, it's that, it's that, yeah, it's that I can't. I must, I mustn't for reasons. So I can't. Yeah.

Guys, girls. Jex, I cannot believe we are already a month into 2026. Now last year I made this whole big goal about dropping a bunch of Wade, went on a big cut, which was fun. But now this year, I want to enjoy a little bit more food and, of course, have a healthier relationship with food and my own body, as a matter of fact. It's more about maintenance and overcoming some mental body dysmorphia things that I deal with. And a big part of that has been choosing foods that are good for me while also choosing ones that taste good. And that's where something like Hewold has been a big part of that. As a matter of fact, I actually use Hewle a few times during the week during my cut,

but I just haven't been able to let them go. The black condition ready to drink is just so dang efficient and tasty. The chocolate peanut butter one is the talk of the town. If you watched our most recent live stream, we went on a random tangent talking about how this is so good. It wasn't a sponsored segment. We just had a chit chat about it. And speaking of chit chatting about it with Koi,

I found this one, but this is true. I found this hidden behind a bunch of sparkling water. I was like, I need to shoot this for the ad. And I wasn't able to find it. I'm pretty sure Koi hit this because he's coming in tomorrow and he wanted to make sure no one else was able to take it while we're waiting for a reorder. I'm on to you, you son of a bee.

Well, Daphne's sense of betrayal is understandable. Simon clearly withdrew consent in that scene. Sure. And the show never really addresses that. How do you feel they handle that? Do you feel, do you think the fallout should have, been dealt with more seriously. I mean, that is, oh, well, that's fascinating.

That's a fascinating question. There's several ways to look at this. The second you do not wear, I don't know if they had condoms back then, sounds like we didn't. The second you don't wear one, you're running the risk. You're running the risk, no matter what. Yeah. Pull out or pull or pull in.

Pull out or just leave it in park. you're running the risk you know yeah um yeah and she knew what she was doing

she did and I honestly need to play the scene back a tiny bit more of my head I don't recall if he was like get off me I mean I know he wasn't that aggressive

but it's that thing where it's like he is protesting he was saying wait he's trying to yeah to get her to get off him at the end but it's in that thing where he is in the throes of pleasure so at a certain

point he just throws his head back and the thing happens and then you know i it felt to me uh because you know it's like right on the edge of of the climax moment so it's like your body and brain are flooding with all kinds of things so like it it's yeah it's in a very dubious place and that felt realistic uh and yeah yeah given what Daphne is, it's all, like, yeah, Daphne absolutely has like a point and a reason for doing what she did, but you can't argue against the idea that like, you know, we've, we've, we've,

crested through into a whole new plane of reality where it's like, now there's a kid happening potentially and, and we've not talked, we've not prepared for, there's, there's, yeah, like, the whole thing is like a mess. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I've never even heard. of a situation like this ever in my life. This is completely unique to me.

Because it's like, well, they were doing it. So I wouldn't call it assault. However, in that very, very final, I mean, like, the second someone is saying, no, get off of me, and they keep going, then you have reached assault territory. Right? That's how it works. Yeah.

Just to be clear on what the rules are here, that is it. So I suppose in like the heap of a few seconds. And she knew what she was doing and she knew he wouldn't want that. Yeah. So that's, yeah, you can't argue. There you go. I guess by process of elimination, she wins. So I guess my process of elimination.

Yeah. I guess, I mean, the show doesn't strike it in that way of like, oh, yeah, this area here that you don't really think about. And maybe even back then, they wouldn't really consider that as a. Has it thing like, hey, you took advantage of me, you know, um, you, yeah, well, and there's the double standard that. Yeah, when it's a guy, it's always like, yeah, it's always different when it's a guy, huh? Yeah, even as a guy watching it, I'm not even like considering that fact, you know, it just, yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't strike quite as loudly as immediately because of how we're all conditioned and yeah, because I've been in some situations where,

not this, of course, because I've never heard of this, but in situations where it's like, I've had to tell people about it. And I'm like, oh, that is a thing. I won't go on anyway, but it is a thing where something had happened. Some stuff has happened to me. And then, but because you're a guy, you're like, but is, should I be bothered? And then, yeah.

Like, yeah, absolutely. You should. Yeah, anyone should be bothered. Yeah, yeah. Well, but it's like when I hear from other guys, it's like you wouldn't. Yeah, so I understand like, because even on the receiving. So it's making me question it now even more. Like, oh, yeah, as a guy, I don't even, like, question it.

But if I'm in that position, that's where the confused feelings come in, right? Yeah. Something did happen to me. I suppose it would have been nice if they addressed it because I even like the idea of us exploring this conversation right now. Yeah, I do too. And, I mean, it's, and it's, and it, too, it introduces, it's like you have all this context to support the fact that they are very much into their, you know, sexual relationship. But the conversation, once you reach that point in the act is no longer about that. about, you know, his whole core wound as a character and this, like, huge, you know, wing of his

life that has not been uncovered. And, like, that's, you know, a deep and difficult trauma. It's like you understand why he would act the way that he does, even if it's not the right way to do it, because it's this thing that's been ingrained for so long. And now he's living in the place that helped to birth this very sort of commitment. His father was coming out of him a lot in their dynamics. Yeah. And it's one of the things. Yeah. And it's one of the way. of those things were too you know it's it's like you absolutely under it's like her you absolutely understand where she's coming from and and and the motivation and the sort of like well this is the way to like fully just out the truth but you're also meddling with like you're creating life

and that's like a whole mess of other conversations beyond just simon's reason for lying about it you know and so yeah it's it is really messed up but yeah you can't deny that that is yes that that's a line crossed and it's I guess a bummer that they never really would address that I mean I feel like the show would just sound like a bunch of sensitive lefties I feel like this show will imagine that it's addressing it just by having the kids conversation and leave it at that or something but yeah when they cut to 2025 yes when we see that it's the kids that finally see the kid and yeah what we've realized that is that the kid that they just conceived is the future kid that becomes whistle down that travels back in time yeah yeah it's all part of the greater grandfathering herodox of the show yeah It would be pretty cool. I don't know this whole time. Bridgetton was a sci-fi show. Yeah. Well, it's weird.

I don't know if I could say how they handled it right now because it's like it just happened. I mean, according to Amanda, this show never really addresses it. Yeah, it's like knowing that, then yeah, that's the drag. I suppose, but wouldn't we have thought about that unless Amanda pointed out?

Yeah, I don't know. And that's, yeah, and now I will be more apt to consider and observe more deep, more deeply for things like that for sure. We'll check out of this next question. You thought that was juicy. A Lord's, Lord's Greg and John, y'all. From Carebear.

From Carbear. Thank you, sorry. I care about you. Y'all already know the Bridgeton. I'm going to start this over. Y'all already know the Bridgerton's naming convention, Alpha Order. The Featheringtons also use a convention. All begin with P.

Portia Prudence, Philippa Penn. Question. Do you enjoy naming conventions in film and TV? How do romances conventions compare to comics? Ant-Man, Batman, Spider-Man, Green, Arrow, Lantern, Goblin, etc. You know, I mean, I prefer the fantasy versions. You know, like, this is Aegon, Eman, Aidan, Aeron, Aeron, Eiron. Gimli, Raygon.

Gimli, Daegon. Yeah. Oin, son of gloom. Yeah. Balin, dwalin. I prefer just names that rhyme. Yeah. You really never know who you were talking about.

Yeah. But you have a guess. You have a good guess. And half the time these guys are just an ensemble who's around and occasionally one of them says something specific and he gets named. So. I think a naming convention is fun. It all depends on how it's executed. Some of them are more obnoxious and more sort of in your face than others.

I'm very curious. Is that a romance troupe? Is that a romance thing? I didn't know that. Because I know, like, comics are alliteration tropes. That's what those are. Peter Parker. Steve Stodgers.

Yes. Sony Stark. Yes. Well, Bruce Banner just already works. It's not. I don't have to do it. I do the joke. Yeah, I do the joke.

I'm like, which one doesn't have an alliteration. Kyle Caner. There you go. There's a Green Lantern for you. Who? Qualiver Queen I guess there's not many all the literations

There aren't as many non-literations You just happen to think of one other alliteration There are a lot of them But Name more Other other alliterations Okay okay

Clark Kent Kind of counts because of the Come on Let's not go with the kind of Let's go with real Peter Parker Lex Luthor We got

Sue Storm We got um reid richards we got um re richards yeah that works we got Victor von do I feel like they're a way way way way more

is hot to rub it off at arm John Walker Sam Wilson no Steve roger no Bruce Banner is back

he goes Bruce Banner but even then they change named David Banner for a minute on the show. Bruce Wayne, Dick Racing. Now we've got to look up. Alliterative comic book character names. Yeah. Now we can't pull it.

They're like known for that. What's up with, I mean, yeah, I don't know. There are a lot of them anyway. Dr. Doom, they're going to count. Dumb Dugan. What's a, what's Dr. Strange's name? Stephen Strange. Stephen Strange. That's a good one.

Miles Morales. Jessica Jones. Matt Murdoch. Okay, there's a lot. Rocket raccoon. Rocky, Bar. Yeah, we're just going to remember it. Lois Lane. Could have called Matt,

when to pull Matt Murdoch. Wally West. What was it wrong with me? Yeah, come on. Lois Lane. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There are a lot of them out there.

I like. Oh, is that so hard. I don't know. I don't know. Well, yeah. It's so popular. Well, and they're all, it's weird because like some of them are very sort of like, yeah.

It feels like you sound the same. They're not like, they're not the same use of the letters. Well, there are so many of them that they just kind of blend and it's such a convention that, like, you just kind of, see the monolith and it's hard to pull specific examples. Because the letter that follows the first letter makes it makes the first letter a different sound like Matt and Mur are very different. Yeah. Yeah. See, it's not our fault. It's not our fault. We don't think visually letter wise. I think naming conventions are fun. I think this show I didn't need I didn't notice them as much in

this show because I was just like, oh, it's the time and place. This is just how it worked. People just named each other, you know, very eloquent, elegant. Daphne, daughter of Wafne. Yes. I mean, I do have a lot of fun with that kind of naming convention where you're carrying around your lineage in your titles. And you're like, you know, breaker of chains and mother of dragons and, you know, discounter of leather seats and, you know, freer of chickens and blah, blah, blah, you know, I like that. So, yeah, we love a naming convention here. Sanrak, since you both, not John, seem to have a soft spot for Penelope. Yeah. So the capital P.

I'm curious to hear more of your thoughts. That's about that confrontation by Marina. It is a hurtful one. And Nicola Coughlin plays it so well. Which one's Nicola Coughlin? She's your girl. She's Penn. She's joy in that Doctor Who episode.

How do you feel about Marina by the end of the episode with her secret exposed? Well, we did touch on that. But I think that's a big part of what helps heighten it a lot more. It's very nuanced, you know. I just choose to pick a side. but it is very nuanced. Like,

this show is not without its nuance, you know? Like, of course there's like, of course I completely get where Marin is coming from. And in that moment, you know, Marin is probably saying a lot of that to protect herself too.

And a lot of times people say things that are hurtful or mean, you know, like not because they are truthfully that person, but in the state you are catching them. And a version of them is coming out that is not their dominant version. And perhaps in that moment, I feel like that was not that moment, but it does seem to imply that penile... Okay, if we don't know Penelope is Lady Whistledon, but yeah, I guess that, I mean, we talked already a lot about it.

I feel like I'm just repeating myself, honestly. I should have read your question before we talked. No, it's good. Yeah, I really like that scene in general, and I really like the drawing of the perspectives because I think, at least for my taste on a first viewing, they're good at... They're good at giving Penelope that sort of very idealistic, more youthful perspective, she's just kind of seeing the yeah like this is all wrong and the truth shit out and yes that's true but also yeah in marina's position she's just in such a bad position that she's got to be in survival mode and even if it hurts and it's you know painful for pen to hear those things spoken

uh yeah you know she's got to survive for that kid so what are you going to do that's very compelling last one j rush and i was with the deep questions What's up, Jay? Which reject would be good on a boat for ocean voyage? I think, um, Andrew. Andrew. Yeah, he would know all the knots. He would know how to steer the ship.

He would learn all the things. Believe it or not, Andrew and Tara would be really good at a lot of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Terra could, like... Terra would be really good at, like, figuring out what to do. Yeah, she could rig all the sails and, you know, like, get everything kind of in working order. And then Andrew can, like, you know, be very precise about steering and cordial.

and giving us trivia facts about which boats and which movies were kind of like the boat that we're on. I'm really good at like, you know, moving something to make it look like I'm participating. I'm going to creative direct to the voyage. Like sweep. Yeah. Like, pick something up. If you just look intense. Yeah, yeah.

You're contributing. I just stand at the, you know, the front and I just stare off with a, you know, spyglass. Yeah. I just, you know, look like I'm really. charting course. I would just end to the room, huffing. You're like, all right, so how can I help?

What do you need? Are we good? I'm going to be over here. Everything right now? Okay, cool. All right. I'm going to be over here. I'll be on the poop deck. Yep.

Funny name. I don't know what the poop deck is for. Let's find out before we in this video. What is the poop deck, comma, actually? Pooping! A poop deck is the highest aftermost deck on a sailing ship,

typically forming the roof or aft of the aft cabin. Okay. Interesting. The fuck is an half cabin Okay, it's the cabin Built in the rear So yeah, it's just that upper most backmost

Deck It's just the butt, it's just the caboose What does name poop deck come from? Grab the mouse I only got so much I can do here There's this some white pirates call it the poop deck Name originates from the French word for stern to Pup

It's not even fun It's just from an actual word that means the thing it's supposed to be Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck Which is in sailing terms was usually elevated as the roof of the stern Aft cabin blah blah blah blah blah blah Also known as the poop cabin or simply the poop How do feces get to be known as poop? You know

Look it up How did feces come to be known as poop term poop for feces originated in the early 18th century as a likely onamanopeic children's euphemism derived from earlier words for breaking wind

like toot it likely evolved from the middle English poopin to make a sharp sound by 1744 it was established as a colloquial term for excrement so okay

so actually it's wow so it's like a game of telephone the way the like, started off. So, poop. They're like, poop. Poop. Poop.

Pooop. And then kids would say toot. And then over time, they're like, you say poop? I said, too. Tell me said poop. I'm going to say poop. You can say whatever you want,

but I'll say poop. If you didn't say it, then I said it. And there was some baby who didn't know what to call when it was going to take it, going to the crapper and was like, I'm pooping. I'm pooping. You mean tooting? No, no, this is altogether different. What would it come? Yeah, one precedes the other, but yeah, these are different things.

We need a new word, but an adjacent word. This is our documentary. Yeah. Hey, that's a lot, a lot of the, like, for as much as there are rules to language, and as much as those rules are important, we also must remember that language is a game of telephone. Yeah. Lots of words get sanded and corroded over time and turned into other similar words.
