Old phrases we still use today and where they came from! 😱 Listing each one below 👇
1. Son of a gun
In the 1700s, women would sneak onto British warships to be with their husbands. When a baby was born at sea with no room for a cradle, the mother gave birth between the cannons on the gun deck. If the father’s identity was unknown, the child was listed in the ship’s log as a “son of a gun.”
2. The middle finger
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French threatened to cut off the middle finger of every British archer so they could never draw a bow again. When the British won, they waved their middle fingers at the retreating French to show they still had them! ✌️
3. Cost an arm and a leg
In the 18th century, portrait painters charged by how much of the body they had to paint. Head and shoulders? Cheap. Add hands or limbs? The price went way up. That’s why we say something expensive “costs an arm and a leg.”

You've tried to change by sheer willpower.

Read the Bible more. Sin less. Try harder.

And it keeps failing because willpower was never designed to carry the weight of transformation.

Jesus pointed to something deeper in John 15.

And interestingly, what modern brain science observes about how habits form lines up with the pattern He described.

Not "science proves the Bible" but a striking overlap worth exploring. 🧵

A freelance writer was about to spend $2,400 on a new MacBook.

His 3-year-old MacBook Pro took 2 minutes to boot. Apps froze mid-sentence. The fan sounded like a jet engine by lunch. The rainbow wheel appeared 30+ times a day.

He assumed it was dying. He started comparing the M4 MacBook Pro online.

His cousin a senior IT engineer who manages 400+ Macs at a tech company was visiting for the weekend. He opened the laptop, clicked 4 things, and said:

"Your Mac isn't slow. It's suffocating. macOS ships with 9 settings that silently eat your CPU, your RAM, and your storage. Apple never tells you to turn them off because a slow Mac sells a new Mac. Give me 10 minutes."

10 minutes later the MacBook booted in 18 seconds. The fan went silent. The rainbow wheel disappeared.

He canceled the $2,400 order that night.

Here's everything his cousin changed 🧵

HERE'S HOW TO FIX IT IN 30 MINUTES:

Conor Neill spent years studying why 19 out of 20 speakers lose their audience in the first sentence.

3 best ways to start a speech (worst to unforgettable):

1. 19 out of 20 speakers open the exact same forgettable way. They say their name, where they are from, and what the talk is about. But all of that is already printed on the paper in front of the audience. By repeating what people already know, you send a signal that now is a safe time to check their phone. The opening that feels safest is the one that loses the room.

2. The worst possible start is fumbling with the equipment. How much time do I have? Is this plugged in? Is the mic working? Neill says this happens constantly at conferences, and it is painful because it is often the first time the audience meets this person. They came expecting a leader in the industry, and a kid presenting on giraffes at school would have done a better job.

3. There are only three real ways to start a speech, and Neill ranks them. The same logic applies to walking into a group at a networking event. If you approach three strangers and announce your name, age, and hobbies, they walk away. The opening has to earn attention, not just deliver information.

4. The third best way is a question that matters to the audience. Not a question about you, but one that frames a problem the audience actually faces. It pulls them in because the answer is something they need, which makes them lean in to hear where you go with it.

5. The second best way is a factoid that shocks. Neill's examples: there are more people alive today than have ever died, or the energy reaching Earth from the sun every two minutes equals the entire annual energy usage of humanity, every car, every light, every air conditioner, for a whole year. A fact that forces the audience to rethink something buys you their full attention.

6. Shock facts work even better now because anyone can verify them. Given two or three minutes, the audience can Google whether what you said is true. Neill points out they trust him partly because he looks the part and has the credentials, but the facts hold up under checking. The credibility of a surprising, verifiable claim is what makes it land.

7. The best way to start is the same way you start a story for a child. Once upon a time. When Neill says those words, his daughter leans forward and engages, because we were all trained as kids to recognize when a story is coming. We also learned to recognize when a teacher is about to deliver 40 minutes that will not matter to our lives.

8. There is a grown-up way to say once upon a time. Jack Welch and Steve Jobs do not literally open with a fairytale line, but they signal a story is coming. Listen to the interesting people at a dinner table or the person holding a group of eight at a networking event, and you will hear it. Neill's own version: the last time I was in this room, someone said something to me that changed how I think about speaking. The audience immediately wants to know what was said.

9. The pause is part of the technique. After teasing that someone said something that changed his thinking, Neill can pause for 30 seconds, even two or three minutes, and the audience sits there wanting to know what it was. Creating that gap, and then holding it, is what pulls people to the edge of their seats. The tension does the work.

10. Stories are about people, never about things. If you want to tell a good story about your product, do not talk about the software. Talk about the people who built it, what they sacrificed, what matters to them. All the features and benefits are already in the document and the PowerPoint. What the audience needs is to trust you and care about you as a person, because that is what makes them decide to act.

11. Connect the topic to your own life, because in speaking we assume self-interest. Tell the story of why you joined the company, or the first time you saw someone's life changed by what you do. When you show what quality of life means to you and how your work affects a customer's quality of life, that is where the stories that connect you to the audience come from.

Married couples don’t need another dinner and Netflix date night.

You need something that makes you feel like people again, not just two tired roommates coordinating snacks, bedtime and the dishwasher.

Here are 40 date ideas for couples who want to actually reconnect:

97% of iPad owners use their iPad like a giant iPhone.

Netflix. Instagram. YouTube. Maybe Notes for a grocery list.

That's a $1,100 device doing the job of a $200 phone.

A college student was one of them. For 2 years. Then her roommate a design major who sold her MacBook and runs her entire life from the same iPad sat her down.

"You're carrying a laptop replacement in your backpack and opening it to watch TikTok. Apple buried 10 features that turn this into a full computer. They don't show you because they'd rather sell you a MacBook too. Sit down. 12 minutes."

She changed 10 settings.

The student sold her laptop 3 weeks later. GPA went up. Workflow got faster. She saved $1,400 on a MacBook she never needed.

Here's everything her roommate showed her 🧵

Paul wrote Ephesians 6 from a prison cell.

Chained to Roman soldiers in full armor, day and night, for years.

He had stared at every buckle, every plate, every weapon close enough to touch.

Then he picked up his pen and used all of it to describe how you're meant to fight.

Piece by piece. A thread. 🧵
