#42 - The Lexicon Of Breakups

Rosie Wilby finds out what ghosting, bread crumbing, submarining & benching actually mean.

James Ward introduces another curious talk about a subject that may seem boring, but is actually very interesting.... maybe.

In 2011, comedian Rosie Wilby was dumped by email. (Though she did feel better about it after correcting her ex’s spelling and punctuation).
