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.

#F71 (few to fiat) 06.01.2025

I read from few to fiat.     About Fez, Morocco: "Up until the late 19th century, the city was the only place in the world which fabricated the fez hat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fez,_Morocco This must've been the organization my grandpa (or someone!) was a part of for us to have gotten those Fez hats.  https://medinah.org/     The word of the episode is "fiasco".

I read from fetch to fetoprotein.     Fetishes, which are believed to have supernatural powers, "are often used in spiritual or religious context."
