Episode 5
Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words and help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Jessie Cave, Armando Iannucci and Chloe Petts.
This episode we hear Jessie's word for letting your kids wander around a park in a similar fashion to a dog, Armando Iannucci's description for someone who exhibits false modesty to an annoying degree, and Chloe Pett's coinage for a word people can use when they don't want to be a bother but need to ask anyway.
Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
