The Dictionary

I read from economical to ecotourism to my cousin Ryan Chahrour.

He's an economist and you can see what he's up to at his website chahrour.net.

I have very smart cousins. Me...not so much.

He spoke about the fisher equation and you can get more info about it here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_equation

The word of the episode is "ecotone".

I read from eclosion to economic.

Do you think humans are committing ecocide on the planet?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecocide

Ecofeminism is a fascinating way to make connections between the natural world and gender. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecofeminism

Watch out for E. coli!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli

I love the podcast Ologies with Alie Ward and here are 3 episodes (as of Aug 20, 2023) that deal with ecology in some way.

I think we need to bring back the term "econobox".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econobox

The word of the episode is "ecoconscious".

I read from echiuroid to echovirus.

The full clip from American Pie can be watched here:

https://youtu.be/rvtBb1FFUa8

Just like most of Greek Mythology, the story of Echo the Nymph is sad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(mythology)

Get out of the echo chamber if you can!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_chamber_(media)

"echovirus" stands for "enteric cytopathic human orphan virus". 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echovirus

From the NIH, "The term 'orphans' is used to designate those viruses which cannot definitely be associated with any recognized disease syndrome."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2555328/

The word of the episode is "echo".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo

It seems like echo in a radio signal is literally just a radio signal bouncing off of an object and returning to the source that sent the signal which is RADAR!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar

Yes, of course ducks' quacks echo, but they are quite quiet.

I read from echelon to echinus.

The name of echinacea comes from the word for "hedgehog" which makes sense when you see it. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinacea

Try to stay away from echinococcosis.

https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/echinococcosis/index.html

The word of the episode is "echidna".

I read from eccl to echelle.

Ecclesiastes and Ecclesiasticus are part of the Hebrew Bible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Sirach

Wowza! Humans have between 2 and 4 million eccrine glands all over their body (about 200-400 per square cm) which means they are TINY!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccrine_sweat_gland

I'm still confused about eccelle (grating) but it seems to have something to do with light.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelle_grating

The word of the episode is "ecdysis".

I read from Ebola to ecchymosis.

"ebonics" is the older term for what is now known as "African-American Vernacular English" or AAVE. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Vernacular_English

I guess "ebony and ivory" and Ebony Magazine are the two main uses of "ebony" I can think of in pop culture. 

Ebony, the wood, is quite cool. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebony

The eccentric wheel is used in mechanical engineering.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_(mechanism)

The word of the episode is "eccentric".

I think I need more eccentricity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(behavior)

But eccentricity in math looks like it's more than I want to think about.

I read from eat to EBITDA.

One big thing I didn’t say about “eating disorder” in today’s episode is that it also has to do with how you see your own body. I’m sure there’s a lot of other stuff I could’ve said but that’s a biggie. 

Eating disorders are quite serious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_disorder

You want the history of cologne? You got the history of cologne.

I read from easy to eat.

Looks like we don't have a ton of concrete information on the etymology of the phrase "eat your heart out" but there's some good info here, if you can get past the cheesy jokes. ;)

https://www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/qa-origin-of-eat-your-heart-out/

The word of the episode is "easygoing".

I read from easterly to eastward.

I would love to visit the East Indies someday, but we really don't call that area the "East Indies" anymore. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Indies

So yes, I was right (for once!). East Northeast it between East and Northeast. (more info in the previous episode's show notes)

But it looks like I was wrong about the degree number. North is 0 degrees, East is 90. I was thinking about the globe, and not the compass. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_direction

The word of the episode is "eastward".
