#D231 (dollarization to dolomite)

from The Dictionary

I read from dollarization to dolomite.     If I'm reading correctly, we don't REALLY know why we use the dollar sign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_sign     Stonehenge isn't a dolmen but supposedly it is made up of dolmens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmen https://homework.study.com/explanation/is-stonehenge-a-dolmen.html     Mountains! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomites     Rudy Ray Moore chose the name "Dolemite" for his character because he "heard a rhymed toast about an urban hero named Dolemite from a regular at the record store where he worked, and decided to adopt the persona as an alter ego in his act." but where that name came from exactly, I'm not sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolemite     The word of the episode is "dolly".     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
