The Dictionary

I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.

#F99 (fire control to fire hall) ft. Steve Goodie 13.02.2025

I read from fire control to fire hall with Steve Goodie.  https://stevegoodie.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@stevegoodie3801 http://dmdb.org/ https://marscon.org/2025/ https://thefump.com/     I'm sure it's out there but I was having some trouble finding a comparison between fireworks and the Revolutionary War casualties.     "The first modern fire escape was patented by Anna Conelly in 1887." http...

#F96 (finish to Finno-Ugric) 10.02.2025

I read from finish to Finno-Ugric.     "Finite difference" seems to be related to math too advanced for me.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference     In basic terms, it seems like "finlandization" is when a more powerful country says that a less powerful, nearby, smaller country can't argue against them, but the smaller country is still independent.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlan...

#F95 (fingerpicking to finish) 07.02.2025

#F91 (finalise to finch) 03.02.2025

I read from finalise to finch.     "Darwin's Finches" have VERY differently shaped beaks...and that's the point! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin's_finches Since seeing “Emilia Pérez”, I should mention that I’ve read up on more reasons why people don’t like it and I urge you to read them too.   The word of the episode is "financier".     Use my special link  https://zen.ai/thedictionary  to sa...

#F90 (filter tip to finale) 31.01.2025

I read from filter tip to finale.   Oops! I described the cigarette backwards! The main part is white and the filter is orangey.     I also like how she says "The queen of putrescence!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ7rMBmJ80E     Fimbria are "approximately 1 mm in width around the distal tubal opening" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallopian_tube#Structure     The word of the episode is "filth...

#F89 (filmography to filter paper) 30.01.2025

I read from filmography to filter paper.     The word of the episode is "filmography".

#F86 (filet mignon to filiopietistic) 27.01.2025

I read from filet mignon to filiopietistic.     It seems like "filial generation" is used mainly in breeding experiments but I don't see why we can't also use it in normal breeding (like when humans make a baby) and call the baby part of the filial generation.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_hybrid     A filibuster is basically about "obstructing progress"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibu...

#F84 (figure eight to filaria) 23.01.2025

I read from figure eight to filaria.     Here is "Figure 8" by They Might Be Giants: https://youtu.be/DMebRvE9oH0?si=YszEFDYHyvvHomcI     It's helpful that in figure skating you can actually SEE the figure that was made because it's literally etched into the ice. In fact there's a couple great photos of people looking at those in the first link. And those Special figures look REALLY hard to make o...

#F83 (figurative to figured bass) 22.01.2025

I read from figurative to figured bass.     The word of the episode is "figured bass". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figured_bass     Use my special link  https://zen.ai/thedictionary  to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.    Create your  podcast  today! #madeonzencastr     Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/     Merchandising! https://www.teepublic....
