[@kabe33]

Very interesting and useful list of words to discuss media related topics. Thank you Ben 🙏🏻 Most of them are easy to understand but wouldn't have to come to my mind spontaneously... At one point, you said "Anglo-Saxon" but corrected by saying "English speaking". That reminds me an exhibition I was preparing with my pupils at high school, and, as we didn't find anything about Ireland, they wrote a letter to the tourism office of Dublin, explaining they were preparing an exhibition about Anglo Saxon communities and cities around the world; Wow! That didn't please them 😳 and they explained in their answer that Ireland had nothing to do with the Saxons 😅 but they nevertheless kindly (and for free) sent us a bunch of beautiful photos and pieces of information to display. It's funny you proposed hangry, because it's a word I often use (so close to reality 😠😆). As a matter of fact, I love playing with words and creating portmanteau words...

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks for your comment, Brigitte. Yes, people from the Anglosphere don't usually refer to themselves as Anglo Saxon but it's pretty common here in Spain. I love portmanteaus, too. Portmanteau itself is a French word I guess, right?

[@kabe33]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. Yes, it is a French word, but does not refer to the same object as in English. It's a kind of big suitcase in English while it is a coat hook in French... I evoked a podcast episode devoted to the topic in the CB, if you're interested.

I hadn’t paid attention to the sizeable number of portmanteau words there are in English. Now that you mention them, I´ve started seeing them everywhere (glamping, sitcom, smog, etc.). English is such a flexible language! (by the way, neither had I heard the word “portmanteau” before, it sounds French to me! 😂).

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, portmanteau is a French word that we "borrowed". It actually has two meanings in English as it also refers to a travel bag. Although, that's a bit old-fashioned. Other examples of portmanteaus are "Brexit, Brunch, Infodemic, Mansplain, Motel, Bromance..." and many more.

[@kambrov9884]

Your definition of staycation does not work for this American who has never been out of her country (that will be changing this summer). Every vacation I have taken has been within my own country. We use staycation if we can sleep in our own bed each night during our time off work. So I might visit places in my own community that can be reached by car and I drive home each night. One summer while on staycation we visited a candy factory, an amusement park, a winery, and Amish country all in my own state.

Sorry Ben, about the first word: woke is almost 100% pejorative and "insultive" now. That's most likely because of the thousands of lines the progressive side of the spectrum has crossed recently.

I see what you mean. But the word itself has a positive meaning. Being aware of/alert to social and racial injustices can't be a bad thing, I'm sure you'd agree. Obviously, it's much more nuanced than that nowadays because the word has been appropriated and is used as an insult.

@@tothepointenglishwithben. Sure, I agree that it’s good to be aware of everything that goes on in life, so to speak. But wokeism goes much further and says, literally (correct me if I’m wrong), that, for example, black people are poor and unhappy because of white people (BYP for oversimplification). And that is EXACTLY the same rhetoric that communism ideology is using. For me communism and wokeism are Siamese twins, they are ideologies of hatred!

We deicided to have a staycation these may holidays because we are afraid of being bombed by Ukrainians with the help of EU, UK and US delivering them tons of arms. Btw do you know they use it not for protection of their country, but for shooting\bombing civil objects (both on the territory of Ukraine and Russia)? Yes, it is true, however absurd it might seem to a normal person! And they do not let their own people to go out through humanitarian corridors - because they covardly use civilians (Ukrainiann!!) as lively shield. To check that one just needs to get out of their usual echo chambers and look for alternative sources of information. So, all that noise and cancel culture against my country in the anglosphere now looks more like virtue signaling, but unfortunately on a spurious pretext of all-out lies and fakery. And all this can lead now to a really bad situation for everyone. I suppose the UK and EU politicians are busy doomscrolling all their working hours, which is the reason why they cannot figure out they should act differently to avoid this bad scenario. Or it also may be the case that they are just pathetic idiots
