100: Spicy Mailbag

1 tim 28 min•19 juni 2024

A hundred episodes already? To celebrate, we're doing our favourite kind of episode: a Mailbag.

  • Why is it a BLOW JOB when there's no blowing? Why JOB? And why is OFF often used in sexual expressions?
  • Why do we say NO SIRREE? Is there an equivalent expression for women?
  • Why does English have rare TH sounds like /θ/ and /ð/? Why doesn't everyone?
  • HIS'N — is it related to IF'N?
