Uncovering the histories and mysteries of the words we use every day. From dramatic scandals to strange people, I uncover the forgotten and fascinating origins behind popular words and phrases. Even the most ordinary word has an extraordinary story, so join me as we explore the wonderful world of words.
I'm Geoff - an English major and former high school English teacher. I earned a Master's degree in English because I'm passionate about language, and I brought that passion into my classroom, where I taught students the beauty, power, and joy of the English language. Now, I hope to recreate that here with you.
Let's learn something awesome!
