Come join Susie and Gyles for Part 2 of ‘The Purple People’s Linguistic Gaps’. To celebrate our 200th episode, we asked the Purple People for moments or experiences when they wished there was a specific word to describe it. Go listen back to our first instalment, ‘200 Today!’, and enjoy today’s follow up episode which is packed full of even more brilliant suggestions…

We’ll explore that sensation of believing there’s an extra step at the top of the stairs only to have your foot slam down onto thin air, if there’s a name for the first produce you receive from your garden, and if we can find an English equivalent for ‘dépayser’ (the feeling of being somewhere different, somewhere other than what you are used to).

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:
Fulminous: Resembling thunder and lightning
Bandersnatch: An uncouth individual
Dontopedology - The art of putting one's foot in one's mouth.
Gyles' poem this week was 'Life' by 'Charlotte Brontë'
Life, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily
Enjoy them as they fly!
What though Death at times steps in,
And calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway?
Yet Hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!
