I am now slightly stunned, increasingly educated and very amused.

Great video as always!!! Was very excited and very pleased to see someone talk about contronyms and aptronyms (my favourite nyms) :)

That makes my name a capitonym. Raven is my name but a raven is a bird

I just had to watch this again; it was so good. I hope you take this in the positive spirit intended, Andrew, but the YouTube algorithm is doing you way dirty. 34K subs is nothing to sneeze at, but I know that there's a massive YouTube audience out there who would love your content. You're just one video away from blowing up. And it just might happen with a video you've *already* created (like this one) catching on. Anyway, your long-time subs are (selfishly) rooting for you, m'man😁

I won't be dim next time on a beam at gym for I know everything about words that end in nym

Ah! The hypernym-hyponym distinction I finally understand! It doesn't help me that here in New Zealand there is no pronunciation difference between the two words (we are non-rhotic).

This was delightful. I became completely lost amongst the nyms. I'll just have to watch again. 😁 How many times did you say "word(s)"?

What use does a researcher of words have with a chemistry lab?
Are you applying chemicals to the nym to create new words? 😄 That would be really fun to do, honestly, if it were possible.

What about 'metanym'? It is the most underrated of all the figures of speech

Yes, the Paulista/Paulistano distinction is meaningful in real life but I don’t think it’s known to every Brazilian.

very sad to learn that the tautonyms were not called "nymnym"s

Can you give me 3 minutes, and then you can give me 3 minutes of your time?
