Intelligence is sexy. Good morning, dear students, and
welcome to my favorite class: philology, or the love of
words. For me, nothing is more seductive than a good
word origin story. I can't get enough. I mean, have you ever
wondered what the word cocktail has to do with drinks? Or
whether hussy was always an insult? Or why Benedict got his
very own egg recipe? These are the types of questions that
keep me awake all night long. Whether you've been a
straight-A follower of my YouTube channel or this is your
first adventure in philology, I think that soon you'll be
just as hot for words as I am Are you ready for class to
begin?
