Episode 15 - Sinister 7:20

for 5 years siden7:20

7:20

When we describe someone as sinister we think of them as evil, manipulative, and sociopathic; all descriptions of a troubled mental state. However, through most of our recorded history the term was used to characterize our suspicion of left-handedness.

Episode 14 - Nice 6:28

for 5 years siden6:28

6:28

Attending a wedding beckons us to put on attire that might be described as ‘nice’. But would you be truer to the origin of the word if you showed up to a fast food restaurant in a tuxedo?

Episode 13 - Dunce 8:18

for 5 years siden8:18

8:18

Was the term 'dunce' and the ensuing corporal punishment—the dunce cap—created for classroom dummies, or does it derive from the name of a great Scottish thinker?

Episode 12 - Nightmare 6:35

for 5 years siden6:35

6:35

Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night, frightened by some dark and scary imagery conjured up by our very own subconscious minds. But with each ‘nightmare’ comes a storied history involving demons, suffocation, and peony-seed wine.

Episode 11 - Mortgage 7:04

for 5 years siden7:04

7:04

Signing a mortgage can bring long-term joy to your life, giving you a place to live and raise a family. However, in a twisted sense of irony, you may also be signing a death pledge.

Episode 10 - Robot 6:35

for 5 years siden6:35

6:35

Do robots make our lives easier, or do they steal our jobs? Regardless of where we may stand on robots, we have a Czech playwright and a popular science fiction writer to thank for this word.

Episode 9 - Tragedy 6:29

for 5 years siden6:29

6:29

The word 'tragedy' generally doesn't evoke happy thoughts. But its Greek origin is oddly amusing, stemming from music...and goats.

Episode 8 - Assassin 6:24

for 5 years siden6:24

6:24

During the middle ages, a group of people living in the mountains of northern Iran gave birth to the worlds coolest profession, the assassin. Curiously, they may have carried out their murders while high.

Episode 7 - Cappuccino 6:50

for 5 years siden6:50

6:50

Your typical espresso drink gets its name from its ingredients or the way it’s made. But one well-known beverage isn’t so typical…

Episode 6 - Jog 5:36

for 5 years siden5:36

5:36

Getting some exercise with a jog can be a relaxing experience. But to fulfill the historical meaning of this word, hit the pavement with a group of friends and gossip as you watch each other's bodies shake up and down.

Episode 5 - Loophole 5:04

for 5 years siden5:04

5:04

If we find ourselves on the right side of a loophole, we thank our lucky stars. But perhaps we should be thanking the architects of medieval English castles...

Episode 4 - Geek 6:02

for 5 years siden6:02

6:02

You might think a geek as a socially awkward outcast who knows too much about computers. But there's a surprising and disturbing origin to this word—and an equally bizarre connection to a legendary rock star!

Episode 3 - Quarantine 5:00

for 5 years siden5:00

5:00

At this point, we're probably all tired of this word—but its origins on the banks of the Adriatic Sea might make us appreciate why we've all been stuck inside for months now.

Episode 2 - Sandwich 4:16

4:16

Was the sandwich created as a tasty snack or just a vessel to win more money.
