Episode description

egg·corn ˈeɡkôrn/ noun a word or phrase that results from a mishearing or misinterpretation of another, an element of the original being substituted for one that sounds very similar or identical (e.g. tow the line instead of toe the line ). ---------------------------- Welcome to the first episode of (Art)iculate! I'm your host, Jenny Li, and I'm thrilled to spend ten minutes making excruciatingly bad jokes while forcing you to listen (with cheesy jazz in the background). From breakfast food to a sad lack of dating options for farm hens, today we talk about the things that really matter in life. Grab a mug of caffeine and the feline of your choice and follow me into the depths of a magical realm where grain and poultry unite to form the eggcorn.
