Words can either be used to better understand the world and the people around us, and to make it easier to conceptualize abstract concepts or feelings.

But words can also be used to disgrace, belittle or break the people we don’t share the same world view with.

In this episode I will take you through the quirky and powerful world of words, and give examples on how words differ from country to country and how they can “make or break”. Create understanding or smear.

I will take you through everything from Danish pastry and delicious herrings to racism, antisemitism, woke, LBTQ, schadenfreude, Goodwin’s law, hot babes, censorship, ancient Greece, Shakespeare and memes - to mention a few.
