Kyle and Emily warm up their vocal chords and join the church choir, as they discuss the history of a vexingly vowel-laden word, euouae.

Our hosts look at the history of everyone’s favorite tunes, Gregorian chants! They discover what a little bird told Pope Gregory I, learn what little phrase sneaks between psalms and hymns in a Catholic mass, and reveal what truly maniacal way it was abbreviated.

Kyle discusses the ‘forever and ever’ heard in the Hallelujah chorus, as well as a surprisingly secular connection to this religious phrase. Emily runs into some familiar faces who have used the word euouae. And before their singing ‘amen’, our hosts explore a few more well-known Latin phrases!

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.
