Ep. 22: Loss

You may have felt at a LOSS this past month without an episode of EXTREME VOCABULARY to keep you company, but don't worry, we are back with another fascinating etymological journey. Our captain is Abe, who, as usual, leads us through the historical and modern meanings of the word loss. He, along with Josh, Efren, and a remarkably off-mic Aaron, explore the loss of culture, loss of weight, and Alex Jones's cult of lost masculinity. Also, there's a lynx in here for some reason. Efren brings a passage from Helena Maria Villamontes's Their Dogs Came With Them, and as usual, we find a song to capture today's word. Where have you been all of our lives? We were lost without you, so click the link, or find us on iTunes.
