Watch out, because this week Kyle and Emily are flying the not-so-friendly skies! They explore WW2 history, RAF slang, and the versatile meanings of the word prang.
Kyle gives everyone a refresher on WWII, and the airborne showdown between UK’s Royal Air Force and Germany’s Air Force, the Luftwaffe. With the threat of an airplane crash ever looming, pilots of the time lightened the mood with niche slang and dubious honors.
But a pilot isn’t the only one who might appreciate this word. Emily learns several very different contexts where prang can show up. And this episode goes out with a bang, with a game inspired by a memorable Monty Python bit.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
