Narrator voice: The 'monthly schedule' was not, in fact, a thing.

Nevertheless, we're BACK (again).

In this episode, Amy really jumps out at you with "salient", while Ryan observes beauty in a tube with "kaleidoscope".

For those who like looking at amazing feats of music-video-ness, here's OK GO with "Love"!

Lexitecture is a podcast about etymology (the linguistics study of the origin and history of words). In each normal, increasingly infrequent episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!

It has been, decidedly, WAAYYYYY too long, but we're (well... more specifically I'm) back with a new episode!

As you'll hear, we really do deeply appreciate those of you who are still subscribed to our show, and particularly our longsuffering and cherished Patreon supporters who are, quite literally, why this show is still able to keep going. THANK YOU!!

In this episode, Ryan is taking a journey through a grab-bag of eponyms/toponyms/neither with "Cardigan", "Balaclava", "Sandwich" and "Crapper".

We're back and it looks like 'monthly' is our new for-real schedule! WOO!

In this episode, Amy pays the unscrupulous rent with "blackmail", while Ryan communes with a Hindu effigy known as "Juggernaut".
