Words are god-like elements that establish the reality all around us.
Join me in this episode to know about:

  • When a word has 2 meaning but we only know 1 of them.
  • The joy of making words up.
  • There's no such thing as unreal words, only unpopular ones.
  • Why linguists don't study words.
