There is a more accurate word for health anxiety. I first came across VALETUDINARIAN in a Victorian novel and have come across it the odd time in other 19 century writing. it perfectly describes someone in frail health who has legitimate concerns that are not related to emotional disfunction.
Awesome podcast, mixing humor with knowledge.
Thanks for years of great listening, Helen! Love the show.
Ostensibly about language, The Allusionist visits all the weird and wonderful ways that language intersects with people’s lives. It covers topics that other language podcasts don’t, often topics that are too obscure or controversial for other podcasts. Feel-good and comfy, Helen’s podcast has been my favourite for years and I’ve made an effort to see her live shows when she comes to my country.
This podcast has made me smarter, and more aware of the world around me. Language is always a work in progress, moving and changing with the times. Finding out what shaped it in the past and what’s redefining it now is a blast.
