Here is a list of curious mysteries, jokes and observations about the English language and life in general. I talk about each interesting point, give some funny comments and explain bits of English vocabulary in the process. Expect to learn a few things, and have a bit of a laugh in the process 🙂.

  • The funniest part was when Luke said "cargo comes from the spanish word cargar", but he pronounced cagar instead of cargar. Cagar = to shit.

  • Answer - If poison expires, it may become more or less poisonous depending on its constituents. Explanation: Any poison, like medicine, is primarily a chemical compound. The expiration date, which is predetermined, marks a time after which such a chemical compound becomes ineffective or is no longer safe to use.

  • Thank you Luke I learned so much from you and this episode made me ask myself and I got this from google for the 1st question * Expiration dates on poison and other chemical products are typically related to the effectiveness or potency of the product, not its safety. After the expiration date, the product may not be as effective as it was when it was new, but it should not become more poisonous.
