About this listen

In this episode of SoapBox Lex, Paul is joined by special guest Smiley for a fun, smart, and surprising dive into linguistic fossilization—those phrases we still use even though the original actions no longer exist. From “rolling down the window” to “taping a show,” we explore why these verbal fossils stick around, what they reveal about culture and memory, and how language keeps evolving even when our habits don’t. It’s a lively mix of nostalgia, linguistics, and laughs with Smiley’s signature charm.🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com
