Hey everyone, Dan here.

Welcome to this week's episode of Fish.

Before we get going, I just want to let you know about today's guest.

Joining us this week, we were so excited to be joined by someone who is genuinely British

nerd royalty.

It is, of course, the lexicographer, the star of dictionary corner from countdown and

eight out of ten cats does countdown and that is Susie Dent.

Now Susie Dent is someone that we, you know, we basically monitor her Twitter account

on a 24 hour basis.

She's just always pumping out incredible words with these definitions and you've never

heard them before and we've never met her before.

So this was such an exciting moment for us, not only to be able to meet her in person,

have a nice chat, but also to sit down with her on stage in front of a crowd and dork out

with her.

So, yeah, I really hope you enjoy the episode.

We absolutely loved it.

And outside of that, I just want to quickly mention that you need to get your hands on Susie's

two new upcoming books.

The first one comes out September 28th and that one is called Interesting Stories About

Curious Words.

So it's sort of all those phrases that we know, stealing thunder, red herrings, but what

do they actually mean?
