1. Slang, Wang and apps that harangue
Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words to help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With special guests Jack Dee, Miles Jupp and Ria Lina.
Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
This episode we hear Jack Dee’s new word for when you try to sound cool but end up sounding exactly your age, Miles Jupp’s new word for being fed up by a world in which there is an app for everything, and Ria Lina’s new word for something that is damp, limp, a bit pathetic.
