I read from douce to doula with Oscar from "The Chunky Scones" in Highland Park, IL. https://www.thechunkyscones.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thechunkyscone/ https://www.facebook.com/thechunkyscones/ The "douche bag" clip is from the movie "Wet Hot American Summer". https://youtu.be/seqWiHLCmcY The history of "doughface" is a little confusing but I guess it originally meant an actual mask made out of dough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughface The etymology of "doughnut" doesn't give much info about why the word "nut" was added. https://www.etymonline.com/word/doughnut#etymonline_v_13978 The "Douglas fir" line is from the Pilot episode of the TV show "Twin Peaks" and the entire scene really needs to be watched. No, the entire episode. NO! The entire series! https://youtu.be/ivbLttU__t8 Wanna be a doula or learn more about it? Check out these links. https://internationaldoulainstitute.com/how-to-become-certified/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doula https://www.dona.org/ The word of the episode is "Doukhobor". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doukhobors Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757

I read from double ring to doubleton. The double ring ceremony is a relatively new thing in the Jewish religion/culture. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/double-ring-ceremonies/ https://18doors.org/the_ring_ceremony/ The double stop cello music is played by the extraordinary Jonah Kraut who also made the theme song! The game Craps has names for all the dice combinations and there are some good ones! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_craps_terms https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/colorful-nicknames-dice-combinations-craps/ You can be the judge if the words "guard" and "ward" are related etymologically. https://www.etymonline.com/word/guard#etymonline_v_14338 https://www.etymonline.com/word/ward#etymonline_v_4827 The term "double team" from the 1800s seems to be more about a double team of horses for plowing, than sports. https://www.etymonline.com/word/double-team#etymonline_v_37621 But I also found this fascinating sport called "Pedestrianism". Who comes up with these things?! https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210723-the-strange-19th-century-sport-that-was-cooler-than-football The Chinese Revolution of 1911 was started on October 10 and lasted just over 4 months. It "led to the establishment of the Republic of China." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_Revolution "doubleton" is definitely about the game Bridge. https://kwbridge.com/eval.htm The word of the episode is "double standard". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com <a hr
I read from Double Gloucester to double refraction. Kate was also on episode #A158 and her husband Chris was on episodes #A156, #A157, and #A159. Kate got her cheeses mixed up. Please forgive her. She thought that Crunchy Red Fox is a type of Double Gloucester cheese but it's really a Red Leicester cheese https://www.beltonfarm.co.uk/our-cheese/red-fox/ Two "They Might Be Giants" music clips! https://youtu.be/ZK6YP1Smbxk https://youtu.be/ty33v7UYYbw "The Eagle" in Cambridge is the pub in England where "Francis Crick announced that he and James Watson had discovered the DNA double-helix." In addition, "The plaque outside was recently updated with a hand-scrawled “+ Franklin” by an anonymous passerby to highlight Rosalind Franklin’s key contributions to understanding DNA." https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-eagle-cambridge-england I should probably watch the film "Double Indemnity". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/ The word of the episode is "Double Gloucester". We don't really know why there are single and double variations of this kind of cheese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloucester_cheese Theme music from Tom Maslowski https://zestysol.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
