📻 FULL SHOW | The Senior Zit-izen

**Kip Wightman** (0:05)
Welcome to the show, Tuesday the 25th of August. The show that will be forever remembered as The Zit Show.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:12)
You know? Yeah.

**David Lutteral** (0:14)
Got taken over by a...

**Kip Wightman** (0:16)
By the big zit.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:17)
Big zit. The bulbous zit.

**Kip Wightman** (0:19)
Zit's the American term for pimple, isn't it?

**Susie O'Neill** (0:20)
I was gonna say, where'd that word come from?

**Kip Wightman** (0:22)
I feel like that's an American. We just say pimple though, we won't really say...

**David Lutteral** (0:26)
Oh, no, you'd say you called someone zit face at school and you were being cruel 30 years ago.

**Kip Wightman** (0:31)
Zit face hits more than pimple face. Like it hits you a bit harder.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:36)
I'm gonna say, where did the word zit?

**David Lutteral** (0:41)
Are you asking, Claude?

**Susie O'Neill** (0:43)
Just by Google.

**Kip Wightman** (0:44)
If you haven't heard the show today, this will all make sense pretty early on if we're playing the show in chronological order.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:52)
It's unknown where the word came from. It emerged as popular North American teenager slang in the mid 20th century.

**David Lutteral** (1:00)
Mid 20th?

**Susie O'Neill** (1:01)
Okay. The Oxford dictionary does notice a rare isolated appearance in print from 1912 Okay. But in the 1960s, the word spread rapidly as youth slang.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:12)
There you go.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:13)
Eventually showing up in print such as the 1965 acne treatment advertisement in California.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:18)
Okay.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:18)
Could be German. German?

**SPEAKER_8** (1:20)
Zit?

**Susie O'Neill** (1:21)
Oh yeah. The German word...

**SPEAKER_8** (1:22)
Zit on your face?

**Susie O'Neill** (1:23)
Zits, which means teet or nipple.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:26)
Zit.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:27)
Teet or nipple. Could come from the German word zits, which means teet.

**Ash Bradnam** (1:32)
Teet. T-E-A-T.

**Kip Wightman** (1:34)
I suppose zits are like little nipples.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:36)
They are little nipples. Yeah. It has a loose phonetic and meaning-based comparison to the older English dialect word shit. Shit, which historically meant a pimple or wart.
Okay.

**Ash Bradnam** (1:47)
So it's got origins. It's got roots, as all good pimples do. Yeah.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:51)
Zit cord does it.

**Ash Bradnam** (1:53)
Yeah.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:53)
Different.

**Kip Wightman** (1:55)
Well, anyway, you'll hear all about it in the show today. The names we go on the adventure.

**David Lutteral** (2:00)
We do. We do, mate.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:01)
Yeah.

**Kip Wightman** (2:02)
It's good fun together as a team.

**David Lutteral** (2:03)
And a bunch of other stuff as well.

**Kip Wightman** (2:06)
Enjoy the show.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:10)
The Nick, Luttsy & Susie O'Neill Podcast.

**Kip Wightman** (2:35)

**Susie O'Neill** (2:39)
Yep, we love Tuesdays.

**Kip Wightman** (2:40)
We're changing mindsets.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:41)
We love Tuesdays.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:42)

**Susie O'Neill** (2:44)
And thanks for all the texts that came through in the last, in the 5am club. 5.38, half five club.

**Kip Wightman** (2:48)
A lot of people guessing the song, some getting it correct, some not so much.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:52)
Here we come, 457 611 69

**Kip Wightman** (2:55)
Teresa said, Sus, just take Nick out on a boat and he'll stop asking. Stephen said, hello.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:01)
Hello, Stephen.

**Kip Wightman** (3:02)
And then someone, Aaron, said, please call out my postcode, 4152, Corinna, today for our 40K payday.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:08)
Corinna, didn't we do yesterday?

**Kip Wightman** (3:10)
I feel like we've done, have we done Corinna?

**Ash Bradnam** (3:11)
Yes.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:11)
We did Corinna a couple of days ago. We've done it.

**Kip Wightman** (3:14)
You might have missed it there, hey Rowan?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:15)
You missed it, sorry, I don't think we're gonna go back. We're not gonna circle back.

**Kip Wightman** (3:17)
We are.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:18)
Thank you for listening.

**Ash Bradnam** (3:21)
Circle back by Cobb. Close of business.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:24)
When people use acronyms, it's so funny.

**Kip Wightman** (3:27)
But we do have 40k giving away on the show this week, 40k payday. So you're gonna be listening from 7, we call it your postcode. I noticed we made a post yesterday on our Insta and everyone is putting down their guesses of what postcode they think is coming next.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:39)
I didn't see that. How did you see?

**Susie O'Neill** (3:41)
You're off social media Nick.

**Kip Wightman** (3:42)
Well, you got on it. A little bit last night.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:45)
My God, you said you're off it all day.

**Kip Wightman** (3:47)
I went on for a tiny bit.
