Hello, I'm Charles Brandruth and with me is my friend.

Susie Dent.

Susie, what do you actually do?

On countdown the show that I appear on in Britain I am known as Electrical Gopher.

I just like to say that I am a logophile.

I would say I'm a Wordaholic or a verb of all.

We are doing a podcast.

It's all about words and language and it's called something rhymes with purple because

something does rhyme with purple.

Doesn't it Susie?

Yes, that is the old dialect word, purple, admittedly not on the tongue every day but to

herpals but within I is to limp.

To walk with a limp.

This is a podcast where we celebrate language.

You just do amazing things and we have episodes about swearing.

Fuck it we do.

American English oh yes.

We go into spelling, dialect, euphemism, word games.

It's about improving your word par.

Why words matter, learning the origins of words having fun along the way.

So press subscribe now to make sure you don't miss an episode of something rhymes with purple

with Susie Dent and Charles Brandruth.
