Episode description

Listeners have once again sent us some great questions, and we have answers!

  • Why do we TALK SHIT and not SPEAK SHIT?
  • Do we KEEP OUT, or STAY OUT?
  • Why are so many acronyms three letters long?
  • How do we break young people out of the prescriptivist mindset?
  • Isn’t “folk etymology” just… etymology?
  • Can you think of any anagrams that are also synonyms?

Plus our favourite game, Related or Not!
