We ran it on QI a few years ago, which was, there's no such thing as a fish.
You think there's no such thing as a fish?
No, seriously, it's in the Oxford Dictionary of Underwater Life.
It says it right there, first paragraph, no such thing as a fish.
Hello, and welcome to another edition of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covert Garden.
My name is Dan Shriver.
I'm sitting here with the regular 3Ls, James Harkin, Andy Murray, and Anna Chazinski.
And once again, we've gathered around the microphones with our favorite facts from the week,
and we're about to go over them in no particular order.
Here we go.
Starting with fact number one, and that is Andys.
Yep.
My fact this week is that the words Tory and Prime Minister both started out as being insults.
Wait, so how would you...
What was a Prime Minister called prior to a Prime Minister?
Well, Prime Minister was originally not called that.
He was called the First Lord of the Treasury.
And the term Prime Minister was thought to be an insult because it was as
though the First Lord of the Treasury was putting himself above other ministers and marking himself out as in some way better.
