Beyonce "Texas Hold 'Em" & Ain't

This week we return to Beyonce to talk about her foray into country music and the most infamous word in "improper" grammar - ain't.We look at where ain't comes from, how it was originally used, who originally used it, and what was the opinion of it in the past? We explain its evolution and the history of the pushback against it.In Eurovision, we discuss Albania's 2025 entry "Zjerm" by Shkodra Elektronike.
