00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: It parts effectively the various different parts of something.

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Okay, then they've said when you discover discuss.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: of it.

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: So it's a periodic table of vicissitude.

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: No, so you'd say, like the various vicissitudes of grief,

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the various different ways that grief shows itself. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: that's my understanding of the word vicissitude.

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Well, I definitely can't say whether you're right or right.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,240

Speaker 3: Have you looked that up to I have looked it up.

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,280

00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: think it means?

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: I think it means for some of parts tom various

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: different elements or something.

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: I say, the vicissitudes of a breakup?

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: What is?

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: What does Google say?

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: It is?

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: Vicissitude a change of circumstances or fortune, typically one that

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: is unwelcome or unpleasant.

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: What hang on? Have you? Have you spelt it like that? Sorry?

36
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: There might be a spelling.

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 5: Vicissitude and well maybe you were thinking of different spelling

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 5: V C I, double S, I t U D.

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: It also means vicissitude, the alternation between opposite or contrasting things.

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Vicissitude means change or alternation.

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: So would you say the weather today was what forcissitude is?

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: Because that is?

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: That is not what I thought it was to say,

44
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: her husband's sharp vicissitudes of fortune. I thought of vicissitude

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: going rich and poor.

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: No, that I was using that in the in the

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 4: first definition, which is a change of circumstances or fortune,

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: typically one of these unwelcome or unpleasant.

49
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: So that means going well, going badly, well, going badly vicissitudes.

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: The way that I thought that I had interpreted it

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: was the.

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard it, I'd heard it The way that i'd.

53
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: Heard it is there's a poem where he talks about

54
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: the vicissitudes of the seasons, and I thought that was

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the different parts of the seasons. But what he's saying

56
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: is how the seasons alternate between different things and different.

57
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: Negative so like going well, But that's the second definition.

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: The first definition, which I was nowhere here is a

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: change of circumstance or fortune that is unwelcome or pleasant,

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: such as a car crash.

61
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: Or you could say the losing a pair. The ccissitude

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: of a gambler is how I use that right? The

63
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: vicissitude of Again.

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I think you just call it like if a gambler

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: lost a whole bunch of money on a big hand,

66
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: that would be a vicissitude.

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 3: Oh that the action is a vicissitude? Yeah?

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: Wait?

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: Or is it a down?

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: I think that yeah?

71
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: Plural now is it? Yeah? I don't know what a

72
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: plural now is means there's lots of them.

73
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: So so it can go like, how is your night tonight?

74
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: I said, I went to the casino. How'd you gocissitude?

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: No?

76
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: No, So you'd say like the you'd say, like the

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: vicissitudes of life come.

78
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: To us all the vicissitudes of life. Oh, the ups

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: and downs.

80
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the difficulty or that the hardships.

81
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: So it needs to be off something. Oh so I

82
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: could lean back and go, oh, the vicissitude of the casino.

83
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: So here we go. I've got guys, right, Google's give

84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: me a sentence here.

85
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: The vercissitudes of the casino.

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: Though, but I thought it was a plural.

87
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: Now the house the Sorry, it is a noun.

88
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: But the plural noun is vicissitudes.

89
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: This is okay.

90
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: So I've clearly got this from the business, from the

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: business dictionary. I didn't know there was a business dictionary

92
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: that existed, but here you go.

93
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: Come on beside my bed.

94
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: By then, the house and its occupants have been through

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: many vicissitudes. Despite despite its many vicissitudes, few in the

96
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: business would swap their lifestyle for selling insurance.

97
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: Now, make of that what you will.

98
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 5: But I think saying selling insurance is safe is a

99
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: safe way to go about it income wise.

100
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: But we don't want to be selling insurance.

101
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: Is that?

102
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: Was that the point?

103
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: I think what they're saying, I don't know.

104
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Despite its many vicissitudes, few in business would swap their

105
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: lifestyle for selling insurance.

106
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: So here business up and down.

107
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: So very few people in the business world would swap

108
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: having a great life to sell insure.

109
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: What's wrong with selling insurance?

110
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: That's a bad sentence.

111
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 4: And you could say the vicissitudes of the stock market

112
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 4: throughout COVID perfect, yeah, perfect, Yeah, that's nice, very up

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 4: and down.

114
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: The vicissitudes of family life, sickness and health, that's another

115
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, you fluctuation permutation.

116
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: That the vicissitudes of my grass in the front.

117
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: I see, because it's got a negative connotation.

118
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: That's always saying.

119
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the first definition, the first

120
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: definition is definitely, definitely a bad foundation.

121
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: But the second definition is is like an ordeal. Sorry,

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: it's like a permutation, a permutation.

123
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: That's yeah.

124
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 5: That's how I if I was describing a film, if

125
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: I was a film critic, Yeah, and then I said, like.

126
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: It was quite a viciss dudyous film.

127
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that's a word, but but I do

128
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: think I do think that was if you said.

129
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: Have to sit through this, yeah, nice. Actually I've got

130
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: a better.

131
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 5: It was actually quite tough to sit through the vicissitudes

132
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: of a Beautiful Boy, starring Steve Carrell and Timothy Shall.

133
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: It is really good.

134
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Vicissitudes in fluctuations or vicissitudes in like trauma, Well, fluctuations,

135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: but trauma within the fluctuations lead to trauma.

136
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: Like that, there's fluctuations of trauma and then joy and

137
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: then just like this, so it is versus dudious. Well,

138
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: that tribute would that tribute?

139
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Let's see if they'll see if there is an let's

140
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: see if there is an adjective.

141
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: To describe it.

142
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 5: Judious, to describe something that hascissitudes.

143
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: Now, do we really want to get into it, guys,

144
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: because we can? They have to really the etymology? Shall

145
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: we do it? No?

146
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: Come on, I think it's worth it.

147
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: I guess you've got how got generally speaking? How I

148
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: have a guess?

149
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: First, generally speaking, this comes from Greek mythology, and I

150
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: would say Vicissi or Vacissits.

151
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: Was a moody god, a moody god who.

152
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 6: On Acissus was a moody god, and on a day

153
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 6: where he was feeling angry, he would just strike down

154
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 6: on people as a god.

155
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: But then the next day he would come and say, hey,

156
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 5: brought bread, and tudes means change, and tudes mean yeah,

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 5: Tudes means change. The sissy very up and down mood wise,

158
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 5: god tudes means change.

159
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: And we'll find out about the etymology after a word

160
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: from sponsors.

161
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Well done, Tom, okay, well done, you've made it.

162
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: What how long has we'll got to explain the etymology?

163
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: The word vcissitudes do you think would.

164
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: He to two minutes?

165
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: Okay?

166
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: So comes comes from the Latin visissi tudor, which comes

167
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: from the older Latin vicissism, which comes from the oldest Latin,

168
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: which is a prefix which is just the word vis,

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: and the prefix.

170
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: Vi means to turn or to change.

171
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: That's it.

172
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: That's it. What else? What other word has a prefixed

173
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: vis which.

174
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: Means nice, viscous, visceral, visceral r.

175
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: But surely visceral doesn't have the same etomology as vicissitudes.

176
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: I mean, we're all about to have our minds blown.

177
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Everybody, hold on, everybody, hold on visible visceral, No visceral,

178

Speaker 3: Goes vicious vicious, that's v I S as well.

182
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's pretty boring. The I C I O U

183
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: S vicissitudo means to change.

184
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: Look up vicious.

185
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be the same, but

186
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: I can. I mean, I don't know if anyone's listening,

187
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: so we can carry on just us now, guys, nobody

188

Speaker 3: No.

191
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: Vicious comes from vitiosos, which comes from the Latin vitium,

192
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: which means vice.

193
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: Oh, so vice is to be vicious.

194
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Faulty, faulty, defective, or corrupt.

195
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: Ye.

196
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Now, I'm pretty sure no one's listening, but if you are,
