#D161 (dipl- to diplopia)
from The Dictionary
I read from dipl- to diplopia. Diplococcus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplococcus Diplodocus is named thusly because of the "double beams" on the underside of tail bones which are basically 2 parallel boney protrusions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplodocus "Humans are diploid organisms, normally carrying two complete sets of chromosomes in their somatic cells..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ploidy Diplophase https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/diplophase Diplopia can either be voluntary or involuntary, but if it's the latter you might want to get that checked out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia The word of the episode is "diplomacy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
