We got to record in the same place for once! It was delightful and led to enough material for a two-parter, which is how you know you've made it in podcasting. Will talks about names for concepts that English does not yet have words for, like forgetting someone's name right after being introduce...

This episode we play a game called"Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc," where Brenna has to come up with definitions for words that Will did or did not definitely make up or crib from the internet. It goes about as well as you expect. Written and recorded by William Phelps & Brenna Crotty Music and so...

Look, we're not normally good at pronouncing new words on the best of days, but "eccedentesiast" is just an exercise in cruelty. Also, if you've ever wondered if "eggnog" is related to "noggin," well, you've got a weird brain, and we're here to give you the answers you crave. Written and record...

Of Soberstones and Dogcopters

Lots of weird language happening in this one! We dive into igpay atinlay, learn about the most sober of gemstones, talk about the shady behavior of frogs, and explore the concept of fantasy Swedish wolves! It's really honestly very coherent. Written and recorded by William Phelps & Brenna Crott...

Fauxpocrypha

Scribes Imbibe - November 24, 2020 02:00 - 21 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
False friends? Not us! We talk about etymological concepts such as false friends, faulty separation, and evolved usage. Will talks about a bunch of words based purely on mouth feel, like a sesquipedalian Charles Boyle. We also do a LOT of off-the-cuff research in the middle of the episode and di...

Look, sometimes we're here to talk about sexy words, like orgasm and spermatozoa. And sometimes we're here to talk about decidedly unsexy words, like abortion and eugenics. And sometimes that happens in the same episode, because we are very easily distracted people. Written and recorded by Will...

Boy, do we get really addled and talk way too much about mud and rich people this episode. But also, if you ever thought "moist" was the most uncomfortable word in the English language, get ready to really hate the word "supple." Written and recorded by William Phelps & Brenna Crotty Music and...

Saponification Club

Scribes Imbibe - September 21, 2020 05:00 - 21 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
What do sesquipedalian, uxorious, moot, and saponification have in common? Nothing, except for us talking about them while sipping on stuff. We ponder these words' origins before being completely derailed by America's positive etymological reaction to moral decay. Written and recorded by Willia...
