On Friday – "Office Words vs. What They Actually Mean," the lesson focused on common workplace buzzwords. DJ Zwe explained expressions such as "circle back" (discuss it later), "take it offline" (continue the discussion privately), and "as per my last email," a polite phrase often used to remind someone of information already shared.

On Thursday – "The Rule of Three," listeners learned how grouping words or ideas in threes can make speech more engaging. Examples included "I came, I struggled, and I survived," "blood, sweat, and tears," and "short, sharp, and sweet."
