Episode notes

Common parlance means the things that people usually say. So pissing down means raining heavily, but it's a slightly rude way of saying it. To rumble is a word we would use to describe a sort of sound like maybe the sound of thunder or the sound of a train going over a bridge or something. And to ramble on basically means to continue rambling about something. For example, I just rambled on about rain in this episode.

A conversation with my (lovely) mum in which we generally witter on about a number of different things including some British history, ways of describing rain, different expressions for talking (like rambling and wittering), my mum's accent, what she thinks of this podcast and some of her podcast recommendations. Vocabulary is explained after the conversation and there is a vocabulary list available.
