Are you afraid of no ghost in August? We talk boo, the word that is the thing ghosts say for some reason, and the thing we say to show disapproval, and a word for romantic partners, among many other uses! Plus, gemination and reduplication.And we talk Paul Russell's feel good hit, "Lil Boo Thang".In Eurovision talk, we discuss Poland's 2025 entry "Gaja" by Justyna Steczkowska.Find us on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/gettingdownandwordy/And email us at [email protected] thanks to Patsy Walker for the use of our theme song “Who’s Wordy Now”!This week’s promoted podcast is Bad Acts.
