Humans are obsessed with death.

True crime. Serial Killers. Murder podcasts you fall asleep to.

But here's the question nobody asks,

if death is universal, why do we talk about it so carefully?

In this episode of Fluent AF, we unpack the language of death.

The euphemisms that soften it.

The grammar that hides responsibility.

The way power rewrites killing. And how silence itself becomes a language.

From "passed away" to "officer involved shooting" .

From Spanish and Italian poetry to Russian bluntness.

From serial killers turned into myths to cultures that refuse to name the dead.

This isn't about death alone,

It's about how language protects us, distances us, and sometimes lies for us.

What does your language do with death, and what does that say about how you culture handles truth.

Listen. Reflect. Dale

We talk about intimacy like it's chemistry.

Like its luck.

Like it's something you either "have"... or you don't. But what if intimacy isn't romance at all?

What if it's literacy?

In this pre-valentine's episode of Fluent AF, we unpack how language shapes attachment, why so many of us "love hard" and still feel unseen, and how the way we speak to ourselves become the blueprint for every relationship we enter. Because maybe you're not bad at love. Maybe nobody ever taught you the words.

We talk:

emotional vocabulary,

self-talk and attachment styles,

why familiar doesn't mean healthy,

Valentine's Day and the commercialization of being chosen ,

and yes, a little RuPaul wisdom.

If you've ever said "I'm fine" when you weren't... this one's for you.

Fluent AF is where language, culture, and identity collide.

In Episode 22, Tony and I talk about the language of music- how songs carry memory, intimacy, and identity long before we have the words for it.

From hip-hop and 90's girl bands to indie, punk, jazz, we break down how music shaped us, bonded us, and continues to say what we don't always know how articulate.

Though experiment:

If you could only communicate through music, what song would you send the person you love?

Press play.
