"If I could put Name Explain YouTube videos on my coffee table as a conversation starter, I would. And now with the soon-to-be published The Origins of Names, Words, and Everything in Between, I can. From the casually curious to etymology junkies (or anyone who's ever halted a conversation to search the internet for the origin of a word) this book will have something for everyone." --William C. Fox of the YouTube channel The Exploration with William C. Fox
"Patrick has made me realise that even the most mundane and ubiquitous words can have an endlessly fascinating story. His whimsical and friendly tone also makes any topic entertaining and accessible. Hmm...now all of a sudden I would love for Patrick to explain 'mundane,' 'ubiquitous' and 'whimsical!'" --Betty of the YouTube channel Articulations
