But some lawsuits are just effing dumb. These are those lawsuits.

In this episode:

Shayn Proler vs. Fire
Jimmie Dimmick vs. the Victims
Allen Heckard vs. Genetics
Jian Feng vs. the Truth
Stella Liebeck vs. Evil Corporate A-holes
Two Guys vs. One Inch (the Subway Suit)
Emile Ratelband vs. Rationality

You downloaded, we listened. In part 2 of one of the most popular MFFI episodes, Shane and Duncan reveal the meaning and origin behind more of the most-requested common sayings and idioms.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
Fall off the wagon
Long in the tooth

Welcome wagon
Get out of Dodge
At the drop of a hat
Salt of the earth
Second wind
Heard it through the grapevine
...and more
