Stardust Stories: Words, Wokeness & Winks
Episode Title: “Vertically Challenged & Chronologically Gifted?” – A Wordy Special
 

This week, Stardust Stories takes a bold detour from the stars to the dictionary in a laugh-out-loud and thought-provoking special episode all about politically correct language. Phil and Jasper dive into the ever-evolving world of words, where janitors are now custodial engineers, senior citizens are "chronologically gifted", and emojis have become a whole second language.

Expect playful sass, surprising insights, and a few too many syllables as the duo ask:
Are we becoming more inclusive, or just inventing riddles?
Do language shifts help or hinder communication?
And can we please talk about “vertically challenged” with a straight face?

From heartfelt reflections to hysterical one-liners, this episode explores how language shapes respect, identity, and sometimes, total confusion.

Grab your tea, loosen your tongue, and join us for a cosmic linguistic stretch.
Because in a world full of labels, sometimes the best thing you can be is curious.

Subscribe, share, and remember—words create worlds, darling.
