Something Rhymes with Purple

This week we’re having a much-needed sift through all your fabulous emails that came in over the Christmas period and dedicating the whole episode to your linguistic head-scratchers.

We find out why lumbago no longer has our backing, the sharper origins of the phrase ‘can’t hold a light to’, and what a fugitive has to do with an explosion between your legs. Plus we go hunting for Dudgeon and Low Dudgeon and discover an interesting link between the different seasons. The work goes on!

A Somethin’ Else production.

We love answering your wordy questions on the show so please do keep sending them into [e-mail]
