This week, join Susie and Gyles as we unravel the lively history behind common exclamations, from the classic ‘phwoar!’ to the newer and expressive ‘oof!’. Uncover the linguistic journey that transforms mere words into powerful expressions, adding a dash of excitement to your language exploration.

Gyles' poem this week was 'You're a Big Man, But You're in Bad Shape' by Roger Harvey



And the poem read out earlier on in the podcast by Gyles was called 'Poem' by William Carlos Williams:



As the cat

climbed over

the top of



the jamcloset

first the right

forefoot



carefully

then the hind

stepped down



into the pit of

the empty

flowerpot
