Episode: Mimesis
Description: Mimesis is a noun that refers to duplication or mimicry.
Our word of the day comes directly from the Greek word that means ‘to imitate.’ It’s been around since the mid-16th century. Example:
As a kid, I drove my parents crazy trying to imitate them. This got laughs from everybody — except my parents. They didn’t have much admiration for skill at mimesis.
