Getting Down & Wordy

We talk about pop songs about abortion and the etymology and history surrounding the word abortion. Also we play a game we're calling Kinkshame Abort Cancel. And we talk about other healthcare procedures which would make good pop songs. This episode is bound to be offensive to many. Don't @ us. Sum 41's doctor said your mom should've had an abortion, and we support that.

We discuss "As It Was" by Harry Styles, verb tenses, and whether a language's treatment of time, among other things, has any influence on our perception of time, which is to say, linguistic relativity. Also, instead of Eurovision, we continue to talk about the American Song Contest.

We talk about "ABCDEFU" by Gayle and the alphabet - where it came from and why it's in the order it's in among other things. Instead of Eurovision, we discuss Amerovision - The American Song Contest.

We talked about "Surface Pressure" from Encanto, onomatopoeias, and Ukraine's 2021 Eurovision song "Shum" by Go_A.

We talk about Minced Oaths - dang, gosh, forked up, shitake mushrooms, etc., and also Kidz Bop, and also in Eurovision we discuss Finland's 2021 offering "Dark Side" by Blind Channel.

We did two songs today, Skate by Bruno Mars and Tranparent Soul by Willow. And we talk about tryna and other new contractions, see right through you and other eye based idioms, and The French Eurovision song Voila.

The etymology of happiness including Jesus orgasms and hedonism. The Bulgarian language's inferrential verb tense. 

We have fun with numbers, talking about to too and two, number puns in Chinese and Spanish, and British Bingo. Also Mata Hari by Efendi and the Azerbaijani language.

Today’s song is SoOoO oRiGiNaL. We discuss sarcasm, good 4 u by Olivia Rodrigo, the return of rock pop punk whatever same as the old rock pop punk whatever, positive and negative face, the big five of Eurovision, and Anglo-Saxon and French pairs of English words.

Two asexuals talk about WAP. We see wtf is up with acronyms, initialisms, backronyms, macronyms, orphaned acronyms, the USA PATRIOT act and jump on the making fun of Ben Shapiro bandwagon, with a true song of ribaldry and then say some stuff about Maneskin and pasta words.
