An exceedingly popular etymology holds that the English language has different words for animals and the meat of said animals because of a class divide in Norman Britain. This delightful story is in fact false, because it asks the wrong question. It only focuses on the origins of the words and then makes up a story because of them. In this episode we unpack the history of these words and examine a relevant social shift that affects them.
