Slang

Did you ever wonder the origin of words like ‘idiot’ or ‘cool’, wonder no more.  Here is a list of ten word slang origins.

Here is one example found on this site.

4. Third degree

To get the third degree means to be thoroughly questioned. The third degree of something has been regarded as the upper limit (or extreme) even since the time of Shakespeare when he wrote: “For he’s in the thirde degree of drinke, he’s drown’d” – referring to a very drunk man. Therefore, it is a natural progression that when referring to the most extreme type of questioning, it would be referred to as the third degree.
