BONUS EPISODE: The Silent Harbour outtake (HotD S2E3)
The Ragman's Harbour visited The Silent Sisters to chat about House of the Dragon season 2 episode 3! We had so much to say that not everything could fit in the podcast episode, so here is an outtake just for our listeners. Join us as we discuss how the name Ulf comes from the Swedish/Norse world "ulv", meaning "wolf", the history of that word and other taboo words, and the history of languages in general.
And of course, go listen to the whole episode with The Silent Sisters!

That’s a much more common phenomenon than most people think, so I would not be surprised at all if there were several examples of it in AAVE, that is known to be a very creative variety of English (as in: very alive. Languages that don’t innovate and change are dead languages)

I feel there’s a similar principle that happens with slang a lot - particularly with AAVE - a word gets separated or disconnected or shunned anyway from it’s original use and that creates a domino effect of meeting a replacement word
