Summary

Come join Susie and Gyles for Part 2 of ‘The Purple People’s Linguistic Gaps’. To celebrate our 200th episode, we asked the Purple People for moments or experiences when they wished there was a specific word to describe it. Go listen back to our first instalment, ‘200 Today!’, and enjoy today’s follow up episode which is packed full of even more brilliant suggestions… We’ll explore that sensation of believing there’s an extra step at the top of the stairs only to have your foot slam down onto thin air, if there’s a name for the first produce you receive from your garden, and if we can find an English equivalent for ‘dépayser’ (the feeling of being somewhere different, somewhere other than what you are used to). 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?

Gyles' poem this week was 'Life' by 'Charlotte Brontë' Life, believe, is not a dream So dark as sages say; Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day. Sometimes there are clouds of gloom, But these are transient all; If the shower will make the roses bloom, O why lament its fall? Rapidly, merrily, Life's sunny hours flit by, Gratefully, cheerily Enjoy them as they fly! What though Death at times steps in, And calls our Best away? What though sorrow seems to win, O'er hope, a heavy sway? Yet Hope again elastic springs, Unconquered, though she fell; Still buoyant are her golden wings, Still strong to bear us well. Manfully, fearlessly, The day of trial bear, For gloriously, victoriously, Can courage quell despair! A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Something Rimes with Purple, where we get
0:14.4	to return to some of my favourite things in the world and these are linguistic gaps.
0:21.2	Now with me as Jiles, as always in Jiles, we hit our 200th episode didn't we?
0:25.6	Our 200th birthday at the end of January and for us we found this really special because we had
0:30.5	so many brilliant questions from people asking what do you call this X or Y or Z and it really got us
0:37.6	doing some major head scratching and trying to come up with words to fill those gaps, sometimes
0:42.5	borrowed from other languages. Turns out we had so many, we can return to them.
0:46.4	I'm glad we can return to them, it was very set of bravery. I love a celebration, I've just had my
0:51.6	birthday you know. I went away. I know and you did something really special.
0:55.4	Well I did do something really special in the sense that it was an amazing event.
1:00.4	I hosted a party as you know one of my seven grandchildren had childhood babyhood cancer
1:08.0	and was a patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and the other day or rather the end
1:13.6	of last year had their five year all clear from the babyhood cancer which was of course they have
1:19.6	to be checked every year but anyway we was good news and I thought time to say thank you and to
1:24.8	celebrate. So we organised for my birthday an event at a party on the stage of the London palladium
1:32.6	and we've raised I'm proud to tell you more than £100,000 in one afternoon thanks to all the people
1:39.3	who appeared on the stage. I saw a picture I have to say I was staggered as to how many amazing
1:45.8	women you gathered there that day. I gathered a dozen dames there was more than a thousand years
1:50.6	of theatrical experience on that stage. Dame Judy Dench, well you name it they were all there. Dame
1:56.4	Judy Dench, Dame Jones, Dame Maureen Lippmann, Joanna Lumbley, Twiggy, I mean they were all just
2:02.7	every theatrical day you could think of. Traveller, Benjamin, they were all there and they were wonderful
2:08.5	and they were so entertaining. I lean Atkins did a musical turn and these are people in their
