×What exactly is a meme? In this episode of Lexiconned , we dive into the fascinating origin story of the word that dominates our internet culture. From its surprising beginnings as a concept in evolutionary biology, coined by Richard Dawkins in the 1970s, to its rapid evolution into a language of its own online, we uncover how "meme" transformed from cultural genes to viral sensations. Along the way, we explore what makes a meme truly meme-worthy, revisit some classic internet moments ( Dancing Baby, anyone?), and examine how memes have shaped everything from political movements to brand marketing. Join TJ for a witty, insightful journey through linguistic history and digital culture that will have you looking at your favorite memes in a whole new light. Don't forget to subscribe and share your favorite meme with us on social media! https://www.instagram.com/lexiconnedpodcast/ Send us a text Share your suggestion for words or phrases, thoughts on the episodes, or just engage with us on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/lexiconnedpodcast/…
In this week’s episode of Lexiconned , we explore the surprisingly unkind history of a word we use every day: nice . Did you know that this seemingly harmless compliment started its life as a Latin insult ? From Chaucer's sly use of the word to its modern overuse, “nice” has had a rollercoaster journey through the centuries. Join me as we uncover how this word evolved from foolish to friendly, why its vagueness makes it so versatile, and how you can wield it. Stay curious, stay kind—and maybe rethink calling someone “nice.” Share your favorite words and origin stories with us at : https://www.instagram.com/lexiconnedpodcast/ Send us a text Share your suggestion for words or phrases, thoughts on the episodes, or just engage with us on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/lexiconnedpodcast/…
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Lexiconned ! We’re diving into the muck—literally—with one of the most versatile and misunderstood words in the English language: “shit.” Where does "shit" come from? Join host TJ Martin as he debunks a popular myth and takes you on a journey through the fascinating history of the word. From its Old English roots to its evolution as profanity, slang, and even cultural icon, this episode reveals how “shit” went from medical texts to late-night cable TV. Discover the myths, the history, and the many roles this linguistic Swiss Army knife has played—because when it comes to words, there’s always more than meets the ear. Don’t miss: The myth of “Ship High in Transit”. The medieval remedy for diarrhea (spoiler: it’s gross). How “shit” became the Gary Oldman of language—versatile, iconic, and indispensable. Join us for laughs, learning, and a little linguistic mess. Lexiconned —because words have conned us all.
