Episode 137: Blackmail Juggernaut
We're back and it looks like 'monthly' is our new for-real schedule! WOO! In this episode, Amy pays the unscrupulous rent with " blackmail ", while Ryan communes with a Hindu effigy known as " Juggernaut ". Lexitecture is a podcast about etymology (the linguistics study of the origin and history of words). In each normal, increasingly infrequent episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
