A short lesson in political speak - a podcast by TED and PRX
from 2020-10-28T08:00
Etymologist Mark Forsyth shares a few entertaining word-origin stories from British and American history (for instance, did you ever wonder how George Washington became “president”?) and draws a surprising conclusion. This talk was filmed at TEDxHousesofParliament. All TEDx events are organized independently by volunteers in the spirit of TED's mission of ideas worth spreading.
