This week, Kyle and Emily get lean and green, or perhaps lean and mean! They discuss the meaning and origin of the word macritude, and it leads them into a classic culinary rivalry.
Kyle begins with the origins of this obscure word, in language and in medicine. But he soon pivots to macritude’s much juicier usage in the age-old rivalry between the Brits and the French. Our hosts explore the divide between these two nations, in everything from food culture to stereotypical look, to personality type.
They get to know the British and French cuisine inspired mascots, from the roast beef loving John Bull to the frog loving Johnny Crapaud. But it’s not all about food history today. Our hosts also chat about what makes a lemon in industries beyond just cars, and the different ways something might lack substance.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
