Susie Dent On Her Accidental Countdown Underwear Joke! | Tortoise Lates Live

Ойын-сауық

This clip is from 'Tortoise Lates: Words | How do words work? With Susie Dent' you can watch the full Interview here: • How Do Words Work? Wit...
There are about 600,000 words in the English language, and yet finding the right words for the perfect situation or emotion can be difficult - especially as language changes and words and their meanings evolve. The right words can summon powerful emotions, bring down governments or inspire generations - so why do we get them wrong so often?
Join us for a ThinkIn with Susie Dent, author, lexicographer extraordinaire, and Queen of Countdown’s Dictionary Corner as we find the right words for the right time, covering any emotional, political, or social situation.

    Susie Dent has been a treasure since her first episode of Countdown - which I happened to come across, obviously completely by accident 👀🙄😎😜 Have of course been in love ever since. Who doesn’t love a super intelligent interesting woman with a sweet smile and smiling eyes?

    If only there were more people like Susie in the world. So genuinely kind and well-meant. So smart, yet so socially naive. So beautiful and yet so shy. She's a real-life strong woman character. She's who everyone should be looking up to.

    I always found it amazing that Countdown had two incredibly smart and gorgeous women on it. Or was that 8 of ten cats... I never really cared much for the hosts/comedians. But when i think back, it's probably the most talented intelligent game shows on TV, just because of the hosts. Pretty amazing.
