Getting Down & Wordy

Gracie Abrams "I Love You, I'm Sorry" & Apologies

Sorry, did you wait long? Our sincere apologies! We’ve got another biweekly etymology infodump for you, and it’s all about the delicate language of “Sorry.” Why do we say it? What makes a good one?

The Killers "Mr. Brightside" & Honorifics

Oy, Mista! Do you even know why we call you that, or is it still a Mr. E? Today, we’re gonna learn all about the most generic honorifics in English!

KPop Demon Hunters & Soda Pop

Glad everyone’s finally stopped talking about KPop Demon Hunters? TOO BAD! Because we loved it and we wanna talk about fandom culture, Hallyu and keeping your mystery father out of your dating pool!

Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On" & Goon

Well, it is Valentine’s Day and it’s time to get all our gooner etymology out of the way at the same time. Let’s all be grownups about this, because we also have to squeeze in roasting Celine Dion’s Boss-Husband, taking a trip to the moon and figuring out which TV ladies are the goonerest coded! Is this a topic two asexual nerds are qualified to speak to? Who can say? But did we irreparably damage our algorithms doing research for the episode? Yes. You’re welcome.
