Make it up to Get Made in the Shade
Today’s episode was inspired by two things, nonce words and a book I love called the Meaning of Liff. It's an episode about making up words, which many of you will know is one of my favorite things to do. There are some made up words in the episode, which I explain at the end. Enjoy!
Basic premise of this episode: Words. They do, in fact, come easy. Actually, that’s not right. Maybe it’s Fake it ‘til you make it?
All about nonse words
