Matchbox Twenty "Push" & Masculine Language

We talk about how men talk! And we talk about how Matchbox Twenty talk with "Push" the surprisingly controversial song about pushing women around. Will I have some research about it? Well, I will. Well, I will. As we did with the feminine genderlect episode, we have a couple interesting lists of words that men are more likely to know than women. Additionally, we talk about various researchers' takes on the notion, including Otto Jesperson who claims that English is a very manly language. Find out why he says so. In Eurovision we discuss Italy's 2023 offering "Due Vite" by Marco Mengoni. Lots of crazy poetic language in that song like the moon exploding. Do we get to the bottom of it? No we do not. But we do talk about Italian hangover cures. This episodes featured ad is the podcast Bad Acts.
