YouTube

Every week throughout 2016, we posted a language-themed video to our YouTube channel as part of a series we called 500 Words. Each video explored the meanings and origins behind 10 different words or phrases—and as are 50 videos in the entire series, that’s 500 words in total. (But you’d probably already worked that out...)
