Down some Allegra, grab your Puffs+ lotion, and join Scott and Steve as they discuss the origin and meaning of the phrase, "Jump the Shark," which gives them ample time to talk about one of television's greatest characters of all time: Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli, also know known as "Fonzie."

Next up on New Slang, Steve dives into the fascinating world of "Paraben-Free" lotion, conditioner, body butter, and more as he discusses his daily beauty regimen and how "parabens" may or may not play into it.

The show concludes as the guys discuss examples of tv shows jumping the shark, including a disturbing episode of Diff'rent Strokes, an unnecessary death on The Simpsons, and, of course, The Love Boat.

Listen now to the very special episode, paraben-riddled episode of Origin of Speakcies to find out the connection between Steve's childhood bathroom habits and The Fonz. You don't want to miss it.
