This Halloween, Kyle and Emily discover that following a mishap in the lab, Seth has raised ghost words back from the dead using that most lugubrious ledger, the Lexiconicon!
Follow the gang as they meet these etymologically dubious terms which weave them through dictionary history and echo the names of such famous friends as the scholar Cicero, the founder of the OED James Murray, and the woefully wet writer Walter Scott.
Will they prevent these ghost words from crossing back over to the mortal realm? Will they answer each meddlesome riddle so as to vanquish the semantic spirits? Will Kyle be able to pull as many film references from the ether as will definitely be needed to make to the end? Find out! As that ghastly ghostly grimoire haunts us once more!
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.
