Fri, 22 September 2006 This week's episode centres on those two great Anglo-Saxon words
beginning with 'f' and 'c', with an in-depth look at their history and
literary usage. Perhaps not for those easily offended... The musical interlude is the song 'Seeders and Leechers' by STAVKA, after which we hear Part 6 of the Kansai Diary, where Andy visits the mighty Himeji castle and has some interesting interactions with ladies in Kobe... Next we hear what a former boss of Disney has to say concerning the uses of the f-word, followed by some interesting entries on the subject of taboo words from an English usage textbook. Dave then presents some examples of the Earl of Rochester's amazingly bawdy poetry from the 17th century, before giving us 'the horn' in his analysis of the Japanese language. Comments[304] |
