Amelia D'Screte is here with the ample knowledge beholden only to the best wordsmiths. Today it's time shove dusty old Latin into the corner to make way for english words with Polynesian roots!
This week on 'Word Salad' Amelia brings us "Mondegreens", or commonly misheard lyrics and poetry (see: "scuse me while I kiss this guy"). Tune in to learn more and hear the utterly batshit mondegreens sent in from the bFM listeners.
Amelia talks us through the origin of the word pool. Not the big puddle of water, but the game played on a billiard table or the term used to describe a number of people getting in a car together to go somewhere. Who would've thought we'd end up talking about chickens?!
