It’s a chock-a-block episode today as we dive into the chocolate box to discover how our favourite fillings got their names. We’ll hear the ‘sweet’ story that gave us the Praline, what a horse's lower jaw and Ganache have in common and why the strong smelling fungus and the lovely truffle filling are etymological twins. Susie takes us back to university in search for the origin of being ’Toffee nosed’ and Gyles shares an extract from a recent book purchase which adds a purr-fect addition to this ever so sweet episode. We also launch our 200th Episode Challenge where we are asking the Purple People to tell Gyles and Susie about any linguistic gaps that they want filling! Ever experienced a feeling and thought, ‘There must be a word for that?’ Then put it to Susie and Gyles and see if they can find the answer. Susie and Gyles also want to hear your suggestions so it’s time for us all to be etymology detectives! Please email purple@somethinelse.com with the subject line, ‘Is there a word for?’ Please submit entries by the 31st December.

Gyles read ‘Magic’ by John K. Harris Writing is a magic kind of caper It really is remarkable to think Here we have a simple piece of paper With spells upon it, printed out in ink To conjure up my voice inside your head I’m speaking to you from inside your brain Or is this your voice that you hear instead? Or maybe, more a mixture of the twain? For when I write down ‘I’ do I mean ‘me’? Or reading, do you think that ‘I’ is ‘you’? From where I sit inside your skull I see that while I’m here you’re there, but I’m there too So while you read this sonnet rhyme by rhyme we’re in at least two places at one time.
