176: Beverages

So, each case has 24 bottles of beer in it. That means copious amounts of beer was consumed the past few days!! No, I did not drink all that by myself, either!

So an interesting addendum to the term peanut gallery. My boyfriend noted that peanut gallery is actually a segragationist term, where it was the area in a theatre that blacks were made to sit during the days of segregation.

It's interesting how the racial connotation of the term is actually relatively difficult to find. A quick search finds some references to blacks calling the segregated area of the theatre the peanut gallery. However, it seems as though the Howdy Doody show broke the racial connotation of the word.

Thanks to my dad for the help in finding info about that
