Patreon Unlocked III

 

EPICnyms are back! In this, the fifth (third?) installment of the EPICnyms series, Emily and Seth take you on a ride from phooey to philosophy.

Starting in the Deep South with a word named for a county named for a man with some awfully bad luck, Emily reveals how a synonym for nonsense came from a political move to get right with his constituency.

Seth follows up with a 9th century mathematician whose work gave us that awful buzzword you see being blamed for our deteriorating attention spans.

And finally, as per usual, they'd already been recording for so long at the point that Seth and Emily got through their words that Kyle has a special Part 6 (or Part II?) coming that's dedicated entirely to him! Find it on our Patreon!
