I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.

I read from few to fiat.
About Fez, Morocco: "Up until the late 19th century, the city was the only place in the world which fabricated the fez hat."

This must've been the organization my grandpa (or someone!) was a part of for us to have gotten those Fez hats.
The word of the episode is "fiasco".
One theory is that when Italian glass makers made a mistake, they would end up using that glass to make simple bottles or flasks. Hence: fiasco!
