Description: Interview with Maya - Project Mala Guria School

La stratégie de Georges pour court-circuiter la grève semble fonctionner.

La Chute de Lapinville
Lapin, pervers narcissique en fin de droits, raconte son retour à Lapinville et sa décision de faire un podcast pour se venger de ses anciens camarades d’école. Il est bientôt rejoint par Chloé Bloomington, star de cinéma qu’une énorme shitstorm oblige à revenir dans sa ville natale pour jouer dans une fiction quotidienne à la con. Puis, on suit l’enquête de Spiruline, astucieuse stagiaire à la mairie, qui dévoilera des scandales insoupçonnés dans les plus hautes sphères de Lapinville… Tour à tour, les Lapinvillois témoignent pour essayer de comprendre comment, une chose en entraînant une autre, ils ont fini par provoquer la destruction de la Terre. Leurs destins entremêlés forment une pelote visible de l’espace dont cette série, cinq minutes par jour, va dérouler le fil. Fresque épique et palpitante, chronique de la catastrophe en cours et de ses ramifications les plus inattendues, La Chute de Lapinville a pu être décrite comme une variante des Simpson à la sauce rond-point ou un jumeau maléfique de Plus belle la vie.

La Chute de Lapinville EP381 : Lundi noir

Mona from Riverview, Florida, grew up understanding that the word schmooze, which comes from Yiddish, meant simply “to mingle and chat” at parties, but when she fondly referred to her friend as a schmoozer, the friend was insulted, assuming that a schmoozer was a smarmy flatterer. Schmooze has more than one meaning, much like the word kibitz, also derived from Yiddish, which can mean either “to offer unwanted advice, but also simply “to chat.” http://waywordradio.org

A Navy vet recalls learning the slang term gundeck, meaning “to sign off on checks or reports without fully completing them.” A possible origin involves a ship’s gun deck, either as a place where sailors hid to avoid duties or where navigational math was done later from memory instead of on the spot. Gundecking refers to rushed or fabricated paperwork when one’s workload exceeds the time available. http://waywordradio.org

A listener remembers her grandmother’s colorful comment when someone arrived late after getting lost: You went around your elbow to get to your thumb. Lots of similar sayings in English suggest roundabout routes or overcomplicated tasks, including going around your elbow to reach your nose or ear, going all the way around Robin Hood’s barn. In the UK, you may hear the same idea expressed with going around the Wrekin, a large hill in Shropshire, or going around the houses. The French convey a similar idea with chemin des écoliers, or “the schoolchildren’s path.” A German expression translates as “go from behind through the chest into the eye,” and a similar phrase among Swedes, Danes, and Norwegians roughly translates as “go over the stream for the water.” http://waywordradio.org

C’mere—the quick, reduced version of Come here—is an example of what linguists call an allegro form, a sped-up, casual pronunciation or spelling created through phonetic reduction. The lento form, in contrast, is the longer version. In musical notation, allegro refers to “fast” and lento refers to “slow.” http://waywordradio.org

Susie Dent’s murder mystery Guilty by Definition (Bookshop|Amazon) includes the word grob, an obsolete word meaning “to in the dark search by the sense of touch,” as when feeling around in one’s pocket for change. http://waywordradio.org

Susie Dent’s murder mystery Guilty by Definition (Bookshop|Amazon) follows a lexicographer in Oxford who becomes a sleuth of a different kind, seeking the culprit in a long-unsolved killing. A lexicographer herself, Dent includes lots of obscure and obsolete words, such as conjobble, a verb that in the 17th century meant “to eat, drink, and talk.” http://waywordradio.org
