Lexiconned is the podcast that unpacks the hidden histories and wild myths behind the words and phrases we use every day. With humor, curiosity, and a touch of irreverence, we separate fact from folklore to tell the stories behind everyday words.

Lost in Translation: The Evolution of Words - Ep.35
From meat that used to mean all food to sarcasm that once meant “to tear flesh,” this episode of Lexiconned explores twelve everyday words that have gone through total transformations. TJ guides you through their original meanings, when and how they changed, and what that tells us about culture, time, and language itself.
