Bit of a delicate one, this. After discussing how the correct spelling of a crossword answer became a whole thing, we go through a list of native American words in common use, and wonder which ones we should feel guilty about. Later, Sam takes the quiz, trying to guess what a “purple state” could be. Scott, from the place where the onion stinks, then tries to figure out what to do with “Welsh rarebit.” (Note: no rarebits were harmed during the making of this podcast.)

Had to add this: a Fry’s Turkish Delight ad from my youth. So generically middle-eastern. Sand! Scimitar! Snake! It’s got it all.
