In this week’s episode of Lexiconned, we explore the surprisingly unkind history of a word we use every day: nice. Did you know that this seemingly harmless compliment started its life as a Latin insult ? From Chaucer's sly use of the word to its modern overuse, “nice” has had a rollercoaster journey through the centuries. Join me as we uncover how this word evolved from foolish to friendly, why its vagueness makes it so versatile, and how you can wield it. Stay curious, stay kind—and maybe rethink calling someone “nice.”
