You know those dull sports clichés like "We came to play" and "He left it all on the field"? They're called bromides. The hosts explain the connection between the tired platitude and the sedative called potassium bromide. The answer involves a book by the humorist Gelett Burgess called Are You a Bromide? This is part of a complete episode.
