Episode notes
The OED added TGIF, Burkini and Haterade to its dictionary this year. Do you keep up with the new words each year? No because I think that's usually a press release bit of game. Because they just want to annoy people. They're usually the most annoying words. Yes, exactly. Yeah, they know they're trolling people. A lot of them have very salty Twitter accounts.
