15 Expressions We Use Every Day But The Younger Generation Has No Idea Why

If there is one thing that is rather unique in our world, it is the fact that we can communicate through a spoken language. From the time we are very young, we use our words to get the attention of others and to speak our mind in a way that they can understand.
