In this episode, we ponder the connection between the exponentially large Millennial generation, otherwise known as Gen Y, and the slow, torturous murder of the English language.

Coincidence? We think not.

It seems that every year new words are added to the vernacular. The trouble is, are we beginning to forget or mistakenly retire older words because our generation is not passing them on?

Tune in to hear our thoughts on “wordiness” and “verberage”, our literacy pet hates, and those “totes lame” millennials. With the addition of two special callers and their own personal pet peeves, do we have a show for you!

Hit it!

Essential Learning Points from this Episode:
Irregardless is not a word, no matter what those youz say
Plethora is a great word and should be used more often
Teach your kids the distinction between a hyphen and ‘the dash’ on your keyboard; this may save their lives one day.

The Mid Life Crisis Show (on Talking Lifestyle)

If you’re sick of listening to music and mindless waffle that is aimed at kids, tune in to The Mid Life Crisis Show. Our music and mindless waffle is aimed at you!

Yes, The Mid Life Crisis Show is the wireless show to listen to if you’re middle aged and just a bit grumpy. Goodness knows we are!

Hosted by Elliot Kleiner and Peter Applebaum, every week we chat with a range of guests and confront the important issues that are on the minds (and thighs) of those of us suffering from middle age. Topics like hair loss, weight gain, bad drivers, good sex, good drivers, bad sex. Nothing is off limits as long as we all can laugh about it.
You complete us.

Seriously. Without you it would just be Elliot and Peter laughing at each other’s lame dad jokes. So PLEASE email us to let us know that you want to join the fun and what you want to talk about. Don’t be shy: our content hungry audience wants to hear from you.
