I read from doze to dracaena.\n\xa0\n\xa0\nThe game "The Dozens" is basically a Roast Battle (or some other term I can't think of right now). And the etymology is unclear.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dozens_(game)\n\xa0\n\xa0\nThe word "drab", in terms of a prostitute, is probably from the Gaelic "drabag".\nhttps://www.etymonline.com/word/drab\n\xa0\n\xa0\nThe word of the episode is "doze".\n\xa0\n\xa0\nTheme music from Jonah Kraut\nhttps://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/\n\xa0\n\xa0\nMerchandising!\nhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar\n\xa0\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube\n\xa0\n\xa0\nFeatured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list!\nhttps://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/\n\xa0\n\xa0\nBackwards Talking on YouTube:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq\n\xa0\n\xa0\ndictionarypod@gmail.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/\nhttps://twitter.com/dictionarypod\nhttps://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/\nhttps://www.patreon.com/spejampar\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar\n917-727-5757
