In this episode of Fascinating Words and Phrases, we explore two classic British expressions that have baffled and amused people for generations: Nosy Parker and Bloody Nora.
It's all part of the fun we have each week exploring quirky language and the odd stories behind everyday phrases. If you’re into words, weird history, or want a laugh, this one’s worth a watch.
Dexter unpacks the mysterious origins of “Nosy Parker” – was it an archbishop meddling in royal affairs, a literary quote from 1912, or even a park attendant hiding in the bushes?
Then we venture into the darkly hilarious tale behind “Bloody Nora,” involving a murderous maid, celery, and a very confused Duke.
If you love quirky language, historical oddities, and a bit of storytelling with your etymology, this one’s for you!🕘 New episodes every Wednesday at 9 am – don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment with your favourite weird word or phrase.
