Have you ever wondered what crazy stories lie underneath the meaning of odd phrases and sayings? Let Professor Good N' Well end your suspense on this episode of "Famous Phrases", a HooplaHa original series featuring comedian Eddie Brill.

This brand new episode follows Professor Good N' Well, our in house expert on history and humor as he sheds light on the unsettling origin of the famous phrase, "Skeleton in the Closet." It just so happens that England's Anatomy Act allowed corpses for medical research. Doctors attempted to increase the quality of their research while decreasing the burden to their bank accounts but concealing their illegally acquired corpses in "cupboards". Got goosebumps yet?
