By Sony Music Entertainment

This week is all about YOU the listener. We go through loads of your (much appreciated) emails to debate the origins of phrases like By Hook or By Crook, discuss the myriad alternative definitions of the word ‘growler’, and unveil the bizarre connection between lions’ teeth and wetting the bed… We also reveal the origins of the words ‘correspond’ and ‘letter’, explain what CC on an email means and highlight the importance of little snails and monkeys’ tails in online correspondence. A Somethin’ Else production. Susie’s trio: Cherubimical - described someone who is a happy drunk Jamais vu - “never seen” (the opposite of deja vu); the feeling of never having encountered something despite being familiar with it Lickpenny - something that uses up large amounts of money If you’d like to get in touch with a question for Susie and Gyles for a future episode, email purple@somethinelse.com.
