On Friday – "FOMO vs. JOMO," the lesson focused on popular modern expressions. DJ Zwe explained "FOMO" (Fear of Missing Out), "JOMO" (Joy of Missing Out), and the idiom "to each their own," which means everyone has different preferences and that's perfectly okay.

On Thursday – "The Double Agent Words," listeners learned what contronyms are through examples like "oversight" (supervision or an unintentional mistake), "screen" (to display or to hide), and "custom" (a tradition or something specially made for one person).

On Thursday – "World Cup Fever," listeners learned sports-related expressions such as "the ball is in your court" (it's your turn to act), "against the odds" (succeeding despite great difficulties), and "on the home stretch" (nearing the end of a task or journey).
