She didnt explain the origin of riding shotgun. In the old west a stagecoach would have a guard that rode beside the driver who usually carried a shotgun.

[@ab62051]

Drat.... you beat me to it...

[@eTraxx]

English stagecoach guards were armed individuals who protected the passengers and cargo on stagecoaches. They were also known as shotgun messengers.

Yes, it has nothing to do with the very good song by Junior Walker And The Imperials, which is from before my parents met.

“Take Me Out to the Ballgame” is ALWAYS sung at the 7th inning stretch. You sing the National Anthem before the game, “Take Me Out” at the 7th inning stretch. In San Francisco, we sing “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” at the end of the game.

[@ronclark9724]

Harry Caray sung this song often at Chicago's Wrigley Field... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp-rh2h8ltape9U

[@ronalddobis6782]

The song is not played before the game. It's played during the seventh inning stretch. She obviously doesn't know baseball.

[@ellinganderson5434]

The term shotgun is a throwback to the old west where stagecoaches and wagons carrying valuables were guarded by a man sitting next to the driver carrying a shotgun.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

The Fifth is the right not to incriminate oneself. It’s a ‘neither confirm nor deny’.

[@ricksharpe6895]

It’s actually more common for “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” to be sung at the 7th inning stretch (middle of the 7th inning) than before the game. Also the beginning of a baseball game is called “first pitch”. I think the woman doing the video is probably not a huge baseball fan.

[@Trifler500]

The story goes that John Hancock said he wanted the King to be able to read his signature without his spectacles. :)

[@conniepack6964]

Where it says "home team" most spectators insert their teams mascot name. The clip she showed was from a Chicago Cubs game, so they sang "cubbies" instead of the Home team.

[@mikeg.4211]

This woman must have never been to a baseball game. The song is sung at the middle of the 7th inning, not at the beginning. You must have left early. The video of it she showed was at a Cubs game in Chicago, where the crowd is singing, "root for the Cubbies".

[@grumblesa10]

You didn't hear the song, because you all left BEFORE the 7th Inning stretch

[@ginny5764]

“Take Me Out to the Ballgame” usually is not sung before a baseball game. It is usually sung in the middle of the 7th inning, also known as the Seventh Inning Stretch. Fans stand up to stretch their legs before the home team gets to bat that inning, and they sing that song.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

In San Francisco, if you hit it out of the park the ball may actually land in the SF Bay. There are always kayakers out there in McCovey Cove, vying to pick up a homerun ball.

[@richardmckee5729]

[@susanlaughlin2081]

Take Me Out To The Ballgame. I think you didn't experience this because you left the game before the middle of the 7th inning when it is sung.

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

It's called shotgun because it was the person carrying a shotgun who sat next to the driver on a stagecoach in the old west. Protecting against robbers

[@johnanderson1245]

The tune is called “Take me out to the ballgame”.

[@stephenirving4324]

Baseball games can be long ( 9 innings) after sitting for 7 of the nine the fans are invited to the 7th inning stretch. This is typically when we stand up and sing "Take me out to the ballgame". Also S"mores got its name because when you have one you will want S'more.

Shotgun is also a historical idiom. The "security guard" on a stagecoach carried a shotgun and sat next to the driver.

Im 60 & I’ve Never heard anyone say finding a Benjamin so it may be specific to a certain area but John Hancock, Yes, very common. Also, everyone knows the song take me out to the ball game in the first few notes even if you’re not a baseball fan. And calling shotgun is also very commonly said as, Calling Dibs. For instance, i call dibs on the front seat! Not just older kids, very young as well. (Maybe not now in weird world though)

[@markmartineau1015]

If you’re pleading the fifth you can’t get in trouble for lying in court and they can’t hold it against you for not answering.

[@ivankawnartist]

It's almost always found that you're guilty considering evidence and such. They don't bring cases to court simply hoping you confess. That's what an interrogation is for.

[@donnabert]

@@ivankawnartist but others testifying who are not on trial can also plead the fifth. the mother of the defendant can be asked "did you give your son drugs" and she can say "I plead the fifth." Because if she does answer yes then the judge can literally have her arrested before she's out the door. I went to law school and worked for several prosecutors and defense attorneys, I know.

[@donnabert]

also in depositions

[@ivankawnartist]

@@donnabert Again, they're looking for a confession to solidify their case and likely have enough evidence to convince the jury either way. It's really not soke magic trick or get out of jail free card. It's just a desperate attempt not to confess. The motive is crystal clear.

[@TheRealMirCat]

​@@ivankawnartist"He must be guilty. Why else would they arrest him." I hope you're never on a jury.

[@HDCalame]

Okay. Bang for your buck doesn't really have anything to do with guns. It is a term that came from mining. The bang referred to dynamite. The miners needed to work out how much dynamite they needed to use to get the biggest explosion to make the most progress into the mountainside. And they needed to do it without using more dynamite than they could afford. They needed to get the most 'bang' for their bucks.

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

You left out where calling mony a buck came from! Specifically, it is thought that a dollar is called a “buck” thanks to deer and their skins. In frontier areas, both before and after the American Revolution, money was in short supply, and trading Buck Skins for goods was common.

[@MrPenguinLife]

The term Shotgun comes from the supposed history of the old west where Stagecoach drivers would have someone sitting next to them carrying a shotgun in case of bandit or Indian attacks.

[@spiritwalkerperformer1689]

The reason the seat beside the driver is called "shotgun" is because in the Old West, passengers sat inside of the stage coach. The only two people in the front and outside of the coach was the stage coach "driver" (reinsman) and the guard who carried a shotgun for protection against robbers. A stagecoach often carried money shipments as well as passengers.

[@arrobrewer2730]

11:14 Shotgun refers to the person who held a shotgun on a stagecoach next to the horse driver guy.

[@shun95415]

Shotgun, passenger side usually meant that you could miss with the radio or CD/cassette player. Or at lease that was how we used it at home and with friends and family

[@stevenrpagano]

In the Old West, if you were "riding shotgun" on a stagecoach, it meant you were sitting next to the driver, holding a loaded weapon (usually a shotgun or rifle), in a position to defend the coach against animals, bandits, etc. "Riding shotgun" eventually evolved to just mean "sitting next to the driver".

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Along with the term “knock it out of the park” is a grand slam. That term refers to a home run hit while all of the bases are loaded (occupied). This means that the one home run yields three runs. The batting team then scores three runs.

[@bhalliwell2191]

No; a grand slam gives the at bat team scores *four* runs: the bases are loaded (that's three runners to come in) and the player who's at home plate scores a home run for himself and drives the three runners on base before him, home. So, four runs.

[@docmarty809]

[@sshimmy2258]

The Benjamin thing is not used for a hundred dollars. It is used as a term for a lot of money. Nobody says a Benjamin; it is gotta get them Benjamins...

[@matthewappling9049]

Pleading the 5th, is often used among couples, friends, and family. So much so that if you do get cops asking you questions, you need to say I going to reserve my right to remain silent, instead, and then do so. Because if you say I plead the 5th the cop can use that as a slight admission of guilt.

[@susanworkman529]

John Hancock was a wealthy British subject living here. His loyalty was to the King. However, when the people living here got fed up with paying all the taxes to the King, and then he taxed the tea, that was the final straw. The British troops came in and took over Hancock's home ( kicked him out) for their headquarters. Hancock was not happy and decided to join the Americans in fighting for independence from the British. So when it came time for the Founding Fathers to sign the Declaration of Independence, Hancock wanted to make sure the King saw his signature( from A once loyal British subject). He didn't fear retaliation, but thought it could happen. He was making a point in signing so boldly. That is the reason behind his stand out signature and why we use that expression. "Shotgun". This expression comes from the old west and the " stagecoach" days. The stagecoach carried passangers, mail and gold and payroll money, so it was susceptible to attack from "Indians" and robbers. The driver had to concentrate on driving the horses so he needed someone to protect the coach and passengers. That second person with the "shotgun" sat up on top with the driver. "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" is sung at every game, but not at the beginning. Its sung at the "seventh inning stretch.". Ball games can last a long time so at the seventh inning ( each inning consists of both teams having their turn at batting and scoring) there is a break for people to get up and stretch or go to the rest room or get a snack. This is when this song is sung and everyone joins in. Unlike football games, base ball games don't have a marching band that plays. The only instrument is an organ. It is unique to baseball. . P.S. You can make S'mores ( they are named that because once you have one, you want some more). inside using the stove to toast marshmallows (on a fork) over the burner ( be it a gas or electric stove). Can put the chocolate piece on the graham cracker and nuke for a few seconds and then top with marshmallow and other graham. But, its more fun to do outside over a bonfire. Its a family bonding time when you can tell stories or sing and just have fun. We Americans love to go camping too and making S'mores is part of the evenings fun.

Bello beesleys😊 Can you please react to "Did China Checkmate America's Sixth-Generation Fighter Program? A WarFronts Analysis."

[@Trifler500]

I disagree that saying "I plead the 5th" definitely means yes. For example, you can have a situation in court where you didn't do it, but if you tell your story in court, you would have to reveal another crime that you committed. That would also fall under pleading the 5th. Maybe you were stealing a car and witnessed the crime, and the cops arrested you and thought you were part of it. Or something.
