Podcast Description: In this reflective episode of Big Apple English, we explore “Ephemeral Utterances: A Retrospective Vocabulary”—a curious archive of words once spoken and now preserved in print. Each “You said” becomes a timestamp of thought, emotion, and expression, from casual idioms like “cut them some slack” to evocative nouns like “Mosaic” and “coyote.” Together, they form a mosaic of fleeting speech—an intimate record of how language captures who we were in a given moment. Join us as we decode this linguistic time capsule and uncover the beauty in our everyday words, spoken and forgotten.
