With Haggard Hawks

I've gone rogue. I've done a Getting Emotional Special. Because this week isn't about one emotion- it's about LOADS of emotions. And I have an word expert (wexpert?) to help me out.

I got in touch with Twitter behemoth Haggard Hawks, aka Paul Anthony Jones, to chat all things words, and boy- he was a fount of knowledge! Paul very kindly shared some words with me that I just hadn't come across in my research, and they're so, so good. Have you felt channel-fever? Imp of the Perverse? Sphexishness? No- I've not made those words up, they actually exist. And Paul is here to tell us all about them.

On the way we learn about some extra, bonus, non-emotion words too. Words you probably had no idea even existed. Like, what do you call something on the other side of a bridge? What's the opposite of a euphemism? What do you call the first cut you make with a saw? Yeah, I can already tell you want to find out the answers. Well you can- just listen to the pod!

If you want to find Paul on Twitter (if you're not following him already) just check @Haggard Hawks, or his site, www.haggardhawks.com. And I'm there too, @getemotionalpod! Come say hello!
