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?
