About What You Say

A podcast about words:
Their origins,
What they mean to us, and
How we, somehow, end up giving them a makeover

@FeynmanBot Unfortunately, he's terrible at predictive analysis. Else the world such as we know it would not have been.

@MadScientistFF Perhaps a warning that it is a healthy snack for the ones who want to die in the next couple of years.

@YetiYeff Blanche! Haha! She and Mrs. Hyacinth Bucket. But chances are Hyacinth will try to 'save' Blanche rather than me! :-D

@YetiYeff Is that a whistle in his mouth or what? But I didn't go far with that when I saw the trolley trailing behind him.

Well, I should've asked. But now I know. Revivals take time! In the meantime, here's the man himself making my words redundant. :-D

And here's a treat of a photograph--all because it is a treat of a photograph!

Hello there: New episodes are in the making and I'm pleased about it as much as you hopefully are.
Please do bear with me as I construct them in the days to come. I've been in an abyss of sorts and have just started to climb out of it—one slippery step at a time.

@TheBigNickJ As if*!

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@TheBigNickJ Hahah! Well, in my case, friends will, but family and the extended version of it think it's a "phase". The extended version won't even mention it, as it it were a cuss word or something. 😁

@StoriesSandman Congratulations! That's well-earned and deserved!

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@StoriesSandman And I thought it was a neck scarf twisted into a braid! Until I saw how it ends! Haha!

@GrammarUpdates All of them can be used, really. For grammatically, they’re all correct. The context in which this sentence is being used determines which one of these options would you use.

@mamaguesswhatt Aww, how innocent of them to pose like toiletry containers.
Such pure hearts and minds they have!

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

Well, the pandemic happened when I was 41. So you mean to say, I’ll live till what? 164?! 😁

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@StoriesSandman Hear hear! 😎👍🏼

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@UncitedPod And while I’m here, I’m wondering what would you two have to say about ‘Beauty and the Beast’. That would be something I’d love to hear roasted, fried, and served with some teriyaki sauce! Haha. 😁

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@UncitedPod I wonder whether you would consider Dahl’s Matilda as short children’s lit. I read it a year or so ago and well, it’s anything BUT suitable for children! 😁

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@StoriesSandman @UncitedPod I know, right? Wonder why there ain’t six million dollars in my bank account already! 😁😁

[About What You Say @aboutwhatyousay]

@UncitedPod Haha! We Indians do tend to claim this word as ours, but well, now that I have rummaged through what Google books et al served me by way of research, I know that that claim has lost its footing. 😃 Thank you for listening in. I’m glad you liked this particular episode. 😃

@TheBigNickJ Ah! That's taking the Passion of Our Lord to a new high!
