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 filet mignon to filiopietistic.
It seems like "filial generation" is used mainly in breeding experiments but I don't see why we can't also use it in normal breeding (like when humans make a baby) and call the baby part of the filial generation.

A filibuster is basically about "obstructing progress"...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster
...and you must watch these couple of clips from "Parks and Rec" where a filibuster was highlighted.

The word of the episode is "filiopietistic".

I read from figure eight to filaria.
Here is "Figure 8" by They Might Be Giants:
https://youtu.be/DMebRvE9oH0?si=YszEFDYHyvvHomcI
It's helpful that in figure skating you can actually SEE the figure that was made because it's literally etched into the ice. In fact there's a couple great photos of people looking at those in the first link. And those Special figures look REALLY hard to make on ice!

"At one time, it was common to use spider silk as a thread" in the Filar Micrometer.

The word of the episode is "figure of speech".

I read from fifteen to fig.
"Fifth Disease" really has a terrible name and the first 4 on the list don't seem to go by the same naming convention.

I read from fielding percentage to fieldwork.
Typically "field of view" is used for "external apparatus" but if you're talking about the eyeballs (retinas), then the average human has about a 210 degree field of view. I'm sure that lessens for many humans as they get older. I think mine is a bit less.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view
The word of the episode is "field trip".
