Wordia blog

Here at Wordia HQ it’s been a hectic start to the month, caused mainly by mother nature covering us in a blanket of snow, and forcing us to down our linguistic tools for a few days . Ever since, we’ve been making up for lost time, out filming all over the place.
The snow had an impact on our Words of the Day too, with Marcel Lucont and Nick Doody both doing snowman-related definitions. They are just two of the many comedians who’ve been keen to get involved with us. Katherine Ryan delighted us all with her (non-filthy) definition of spunk (see it here http://www.wordia.com/wotd/2009/2/9). There’s more to come from her over the next few weeks. Pappy’s Fun Club were a delight, and squeezed us in for a few sketches before they headed off on their ridiculously extensive tour. Comedian’s comedian and Eddie Izzard’s replacement-in-waiting Gerry Howell will help us to feel the love with his definition on Valentine’s Day.
It’s not all frivolous though. Property developer and presenter Kristian Digby gave us all a moment for thought with his great and personal definition of Dyslexia. He’s dyslexic himself and had a genuinely refreshing insight into dealing with the condition. When we were filming him, it came as no surprise to us that his pad was unbelievably plush – a Beverley Hills crib in the middle of East London.
The next week will keep us on our toes, and Wordia to a money expert, a hundred-metre sprinter, an author, a sexpert, a mercury-nominated jazz musician, four more comedians and another author. Keep an eye on our Words of the Day to see who they are.
We’re off to define “pub”.
As ever, keep it Wordia.
