Summary: Morphing, Changing, and Dying Words: Barbara Shepherd and Dave Shepherd look at words that shift and change over time–or sometimes die out altogether. Thanks to Carlos in Spain, who recently helped us discovered a technical problem with our site and podcast. The Word Nerds now have a page on Facebook. (Dave briefly confuses Facebook with MySpace.) (2:15) Morphing words: words whose meanings change over time. We looked at the journal Nature to learn something about change in meaning. George McNamee had an interesting blog post at the Encyclopedia Britannica blog recently on words that go away. (3:27) Music bumper from “Court of Greedy Kings” by Val Davis (15:48) Lost words: words that have fallen out of common use. To find a fantastic list of words nobody ever uses anymore, go to the Phrontistery website by Stephen Chrisomalis. (17:11) Song: “Change” by Azure McCall (26:28) Rude Word of the Week: “scurvy” (30:31) Music bumper from “Under the Stairs” by Sonic Deviant. (33:43) Rare words: words that are still current, but not commonly used. The Grandiloquent Dictionary has some great examples.
