The Queue: Splish Splash

We’re gearing up for summer, so it’s time to start getting the kids signed up for summer swim programs and the like. These tend to either be eye-wateringly expensive or relatively low-cost but run by volunteers. Surprise, the parents are the volunteers. So, me. It’s me. I’m the volunteer. So it is about to be a very splashy summer. Maybe send a rescue party? Preferably made of ducks?

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where you ask us questions and we’ll give you the answers as soon as I find a towel.


The Queue: got the juice

I’m not sure what the etymology of the phrase “it’s got the juice” comes from. I am nearly positive it was a phrase used to reference a particular piece of media being an excellent example of form long before the song (though anything featuring Janelle Monet immediately has the juice). I don’t think it’s a direct reference to that viral clip of that kid eating corn from back when every viral clip was immediately turned into an autotuned song, but it is plausible. As an eating experience, grilled corn on the cob definitely has the juice.

Anyway, this is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer — if we got the juice.
