You've heard people describe something momentous as "a watershed moment in history." What is a watershed, exactly? Besides an Indigo Girls' song, that is. This is part of a complete episode.

The explanation for watershed led me to think literally of water being parted. I kept waiting for the answer to lead somewhere biblical and specifically Moses parting the Red Sea. Being that watershed moments are historically monumental, I assumed this was where the discussion would lead, yet it didn't. Too far of a reach?

Yeah, too far to reach. Still, an evocative image!

Funny how very many different images this term conjures, isn't it? And none correct!
