This video is going to go into the origin of the idiom 'chewing the fat' a saying with a surprisingly naval origin. This idiom usually means to be socializing or gossiping, and is based on the food sailors would usually chew while socializing.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
