Susie and Gyles will take us on our final etymological tour in this series where we will literally skid down ‘Skid Row’, discover how Moby Dick is connected to one of the biggest coffee chains in the world and what dead bodies had to do with a very well known tech company… We love hearing from you, find us @SomethingRhymes on Twitter and Facebook, @SomethingRhymesWith on Instagram or you can email us here: [email protected] Want even more purple, people?

Member for Berkshire: Someone with a loud nagging cough. A labour: The collective noun for moles. Gyles' poem this week was 'The Sea was Angry Today' by 'Jane McCullouch' The sea was angry today. I did not argue. But watched it make its way, with familiar roar crashing and swirling into the cream-foamed eddies, besides the rocks, filling the pools, and spilling out onto the battered shore. And as I glanced across the sand I thought of calmer days, A man, two dogs, a stick in hand, And a shimmering, glistening haze. This week's episode is dedicated to the Purple family of Ash Touw and her very curious childen Yavanna, Ida and Ethan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	New Year, new me. Nah. I'm fine just the way I am. Doing the things I love. Like enjoying
0:07.7	a latte on the bus with some music or on a walk with a friend. My only resolution is
0:14.8	to enjoy more of what I love. Like switching up my usual with oat, soy, almond or coconut.
0:22.0	All delicious non-dairy alternatives available at Starbucks. For no extra charge. While stocks
0:27.9	last, subject to availability.
0:57.9	Welcome to another episode of Something Rimes With Purple. This is a weekly conversation
1:15.7	that I enjoy with my friend, the lexiconographer Suzy Dent. We're based in the United Kingdom.
1:21.4	But we're both... well, are we avid travelers or enthusiastic travelers or are we in
1:27.4	trippid travelers? How would you describe us as visitors to other places? Curious travelers,
1:32.8	I would say. And none more so than when it comes to the United States. Because as you know,
1:38.4	Jars, I lived there for a little while but didn't have the money as a student to travel as much
1:43.3	as I would have liked. So one day, I would love to go back and do a road trip or do a train
1:48.0	trip more, more likely. But the reason I mentioned North America is that we have reached the final
1:54.6	stop. Haven't we on an North America road trip? Oh, no, is it all over? I'd loved our road trip.
1:59.5	For now. Not it was about it was a virtual road trip. We've been to all the places in a way
2:03.4	that I've been to perform. We're ending up somewhere that I loved going to. Yes, and I have never
2:08.4	been. So this is on my bucket list and this is where we're going to be tourists as always because
2:14.7	clearly we don't live in breathe these cities. But there's been a huge voyage of discovery for us.
2:18.8	We are ending up in the beautiful beautiful city of Seattle. Yeah.
2:23.8	I was excited to go to Seattle for two reasons. One to see Seattle. Two because I have
2:30.0	a family in the west coast of Canada. And I think the first European to visit the Seattle area
