Don't pass on, this week we’re facing up to the grim vocabulary of death. Featuring the origin of popping your clogs, meeting deadlines, the gory Middle Ages, the danse macabre, cryogenic freezing, ash cash, being masticated by a wolf, secret murder, the Freudian implications of arranging your bookshelves and 30 secs on the beach. A Somethin’ Else Production.
Susie’s Trio of Words:
Chums: going back to chamber mate. Someone you shared your bedroom with.
Zany: comic performers who would accompany a clown or an acrobat and imitate their master’s act in a ludicrously awkward way.
Brachiate: to swing from branch to branch using your arms.
