Language is alive and unique to our experiences. In this episode, we explore what happens when we create language ourselves. Centered around the word neology, we dive into the history of making up words, from a time when “neology” was a criticism, accusing people of corrupting language, to today, where new words are often seen as creativity, identity, and cultural expression.

We ask the big question: Is inventing words a sign of progress or decay? Who has the right to create language, and who decides if it sticks?

SPOILER ALERT: We create our own words in this episode. You decide if they should stick.

In a world that constantly changes around us, maybe the only way to keep up, is to invent the words we need.
