Emily and Kyle put on their warmest coats and travel up North, braving cold weather and accent challenges to discuss the meaning and origin of the word nesh.

This cozy little word takes our hosts on a journey through several definitions, encompassing all things soft, gentle, and dainty. They talk about the impressive versatility of old-timey words, Emily reveals the wide reach of Germanic roots, and Kyle desperately wishes to nosh on some knishes.

Eventually, the word nesh settles in its favored home: the Northern UK. Our hosts discuss dialects spoken across England, from Yorkshire to the Midlands to the Cotswolds and beyond. They dig into how and why these dialects have held onto English’s oldest facets. And they get a glimpse of how nesh is used in the modern day.

Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
