About this episode

Subscriber-only episode

E57: Ever wondered why certain words like 'niggle' and 'chafe' tickle our funny bones, or why 'smirk' is so often associated with mischief? Prepare to explore the intriguing English phrases and idioms that were used in Episode  56: Becoming a Fixer: Small Change Equals Big Impact, where we dive into the realm of guilty pleasures and Feng Shui, demystifying how this ancient Chinese philosophy has made it into modern mainstream. 

We then discover some fantastic examples of phrases such as 'bits and bobs,' 'clutter,' and 'come in handy.' So, join us for a fun-filled, intellectual roller-coaster ride that promises to leave you with a richer vocabulary.
