  • #C266 (coagulum to coapt)

    I read from coagulum to coapt.

     

    That "bison" phrase in the fun holiday list was obviously a reference to "bicentennial" but in the moment I couldn't hear that because my eyes took over my brain.  It was so obvious! 

     

     

    The word of the episode is "coalesce".

    The word of the episode is "coagulate".

  • #C259 (clout to clown)

    I read from clout to clown.

     

    And yes, the ME "clowe", AF "clou", and the Latin "clavus" all mean "nail" and "girofle" means "clove".  The word that looks more like "clove" doesn't (or didn't) even mean "clove" so something interesting happened etymologically. 

     

    The word of the episode is "clown".
