Why do we love the mountweazel (and what is it)? Who was the original twerp? How did timeline constitute a two-for-one bargain? Join editors Fiona McPherson and Craig Leyland as they dive into some of the new additions to the OED this September, and hear from fellow editor Jonathan Dent about some of the newly revised entries.

Join us for another episode in two weeks (October 7th) when we’ll be talking to the OED’s World English editor Dr Danica Salazar about her work focusing on the language as it’s used around the globe.
