Episode 59: Mailbag of Ew
In which we get together for a chat, talk about stuff we like, and — oh, yeah — answers a few questions from our great listeners.
• Other languages have a word for late morning, before noon. Why doesn't English have one? • Why is EW the sound some English speakers make when disgusted? • Why can you have potatoes, but not broccolis? • Who started calling the YouTube description the DOOBLEYDOO? • Is it WHOA or WOAH? • Why do we use capital i for the pronoun I?
