A Way With Words

from The Missing Chapter Podcast · host Philip Horender and Philip Schoff

Let’s begin today’s episode with a question - why was the English Teacher accused of being a thief?  Because she’s got a way with words.  Ok, I apologize, that was a bad one.  I promise this episode will morph into something better.  And actually, that’s exactly what this episode is about, the history of everyday words.  And what’s even more interesting is how these words originated and how eventually, at least some of these most common words, morphed into something altogether different than what was originally intended.  Let’s take a walk down etymology lane, the big term that means the study of the history of words, and let’s bring you an episode that will keep you at a loss for words.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter everyone, let’s get started.Go to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Missing Chapter Podcast website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!
