Episode 177 - Wordcrafting: The Unaliving of LanguageUpdate: 2025-04-29
Description
Are we losing our grip on truth... one euphemism at a time?
In this episode, we’re digging into the quiet — and sometimes not-so-quiet — trend of manipulating language to fit a narrative, avoid offense, or dodge censorship. From swapping “rape” for “grape,” to saying someone was “unalived” instead of murdered, this wordplay might seem harmless… but it has ripple effects. Big ones.
We’ll explore how changing the meaning of words chips away at clarity, distorts reality, and subtly reshapes how we think, feel, and communicate. Is this just linguistic evolution — or are we slowly un-speaking the truth?
Whether you're a parent, a coach, an educator, or just someone who loves honest conversation, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about why words matter more than ever —and what’s really at stake when we start rewriting them.
