Etymology from A to Z with the Stop-Motion ?Mysteries of Vernacular?

If your dream in life is to fit in at a swanky wine-and-cheese gathering hosted by the world's elite literati, then we have found the channel for you. If you're a little more down-to-earth than that and you just like discovering new words, interactive video experiences, or stop-motion animation, you should still check out what I'm about to show you. Myriapod Productions, the creators of a very cool looking Sundance-featured film about the planet Venus, have returned with a new 26 part web series, Mysteries of Vernacular. Each episode details the etymological origins of a seemingly ordinary word, taking viewers on a stop-motion journey through lexical history. The whole series is narrated by a calming voice who I'm pretty sure is Buzz Killington's more interesting brother. Check out how the word "hearse" somehow derived from a word describing a wolf's teeth
