Episode description

In this incredibly special, super exciting episode, wording class hero Susie Dent (of Countdown/8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown fame) chats in a gruntled, shevelled fashion about orphaned negatives, Amy wonders about velocity with "speed" and Ryan marvels at Canadian furniture marketing with "chesterfield".

Lexitecture is a podcast about words. In each episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
