This might be the darkest trivia history ever brought into the studio... 😳🤯

Speedy takes the reins for this edition of That’s Slightly Interesting, delivering a mind-blowing history lesson on how words and their definitions actually made it into the modern dictionary.

While you might expect it to be the work of stuffy academics, Speedy reveals the dark truth: a massive chunk of our everyday language was painstakingly compiled by a former soldier suffering from severe PTSD. The catch? He was writing thousands of definitions from inside a prison cell after committing an absolute murder! Simon, Lana, and Bondy are left completely stunned by this wild, historical true-crime twist.
