Summary

Laredet, to go down, is the opposite of Laโ€™alot, to go up. But the root ื™ืจื“ has so many other meanings. We use it to talk about the rain, internet downloads, mocking our friends, taking shots of alcohol, and more raunchy terms you should definitely know - which is why this episode isn't suitable for younger listeners. Sorry kids!
