Wooooooo, it’s our Halloween Special! Susie and Gyles go on the hunt for the spooky meanings lurking beneath our language. Featuring fairies, oafs, seeing gremlins, the origin of wicked, evil spirits eating the flesh of corpses, grave robbers, the origin of abracadabra, phalluses diverting the attention of the evil eye and haunted lemurs. A Somethin’ Else production.
Susie’s Trio of Words:
Fernweh: the longing for faraway places.
Nuddle: to walk in a daydream-y state with your head down.
Thorough-cough: to cough and break wind at the same time.
