2. Something for Everyone

Episode 2 of 6

Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words and help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Jenny Eclair, Charlie Higson and Ria Lina.

In this episode we hear Jenny Eclair鈥檚 word for pride-induced highs, Charlie Higson's description for the sense of relief when your personal trainer cancels your class, and Ria Lina鈥檚 newly invented word for throwing someone under the bus.

Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
