Episode description

There’s no synonym for love. Today we’re talking about the surprisingly limited language for love. Featuring aubergine emojis, 16th Century hot cockles, enjoying some more fandango de pokum, the meaning of limerence, eloping like a thief, Gyles’s secret wedding, flirtatious talk that leads to nowhere, the ick factor, Aussie kisses, and Fanny Cradock’s contraceptive tips. A Somethin’ Else Production. Susie’s Trio of Words: Philodox: a person in love with their own opinion. Idiorepulsive: self-repelling. Quag: to wag something soft and flabby.  If you’d like to get in touch with a question for Susie and Gyles for a future episode, email purple@somethinelse.com
