Fauxpocrypha
False friends? Not us! We talk about etymological concepts such as false friends, faulty separation, and evolved usage. Will talks about a bunch of words based purely on mouth feel, like a sesquipedalian Charles Boyle. We also do a LOT of off-the-cuff research in the middle of the episode and discover some exciting things about the word "genial."
