In this episode, Amy looks loftiyl at "haughty", while Ryan ponders a sweet and colourful examply of 'chicken vs egg with "orange".

For those curious about the colour "pewke", here is a list that features an example of the colour.

Lexitecture is a podcast about etymology (the linguistics study of the origin and history of words). In each normal, increasingly infrequent episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
