Hey guys, this is Sam Fold, and this is episode 82 of the Victor Prep Vocal Podcast.

As always, let's get started by reviewing the previous words, so yesterday's words. We had Belfry, abeyance, substantiate and eschew, or eschew,

depending on how you pronounce it.

So let's start with Belfry.

Belfry is the part of a bell tower or steeple in which bells are housed. So pretty simple there.

Abbiance. Abbiance is a state of temporary disuse or suspension. So you could say the game was held in abeyance.

Substantiate. To substantiate is to provide evidence to support something. So to provide evidence

to prove the truth of something and eschew is to deliberately avoid using or to abstain

from something so you you could issue violence or a shoe eating meat. All right then to start

today's episode I'm going to read a quote from Chinwa Chibi.

I don't know if I pronounce his name right, but he wrote a book called Things Fall Apart,

which is an excellent book.

And I haven't read a lot of African literature

but that is an amazing book and as always highly recommended

so that's things fall apart by Chinua Chibi. And here's the quote.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am and what I need is something I have to find out for myself.

All right, gang, so it's Wednesday and it's time to start on our new words this is episode 82 and

Our first word is welter spelled W-E-L-T-E-R. And don't confuse this word with welt, because a welt is basically a raised part of the skin you get when you've been hit.

So if you've been, imagine, I mean, I hope you haven't been hit by a whip,

but imagine if you got whipped you would have these red

swollen marks left on your on your skin that is a welt

but welter is a completely different word.
