Round 63 - English Words, Like How?

Friday Night Wine Fight

This week the girls take aim at... English words, Like How?
Amy introduced tonight's topic and explained how this topic came from another topic we covered recently being English words, like why? Tonight we thought we would dive into how words are created and some of our favourite created words. According to research (not ours), there are 13 ways in which new words are created.
Amy then discussed some words she recently discovered being omnishambles and meh. She also gave a special shout out to Mc Job which is a word used to describe a low paying job with little to no opportunity for advancement.
Bianca filled in the middle discussing the use of "ard" at the end of a word and despite it being fun to say it's actually a derogatory term. Bianca also threw in some of her famous tidbits (we now call them titbits) discussing how the use of a foreign word can mean the object of the word is named the same thing twice but in different languages.
Sarah finished us off by explaining how words are not her friends and escape her most of the time. She then discussed four words that she enjoys saying being collywobbles, lollygag, erinaceous, nudiustertian, and pauciloquent.
We say it every week, however, we really want to hear from our listeners. If you have a topic you want us to take aim at, please hit us up at the links below:
