Grant shares another weather-related word from Britain: parky. This is part of a complete episode.

Transcript of “Parky”

Martha, if we were in the UK and it was cold and invigorating outside, what would we call it?

Brisk?

Well, parky. P-A-R-K-Y.

Parky?

Yeah, you know, we speak a different language. I don’t know what they’re doing over there to like the English language.

We’ve got like the real thing going on over here and they’re like corrupting it.

I’m kidding. I’m kidding. No, but it was a fun British term that I didn’t know and I thought I’d share it.

Parky.
