In a recent conversation with one of my daughters, having just returned from a long and hot bike ride, I found out that saying I'm thirsty may mean different things to different people. I learned that the English language (or the impostor that's masquerading as such) is changing so rapidly that if I need a drink of water I should literally say "I need a drink of water!" Apparently, simply saying "I'm thirsty" may convey the wrong intention to the wrong people! But what does it really mean to be thirsty. In this episode I explore that question a little deeper so I hope you'll join me and find out.
