Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 12, 2026 is: hobnob HAHB-nahb verb To hobnob is to socialize with others, especially with people of high social status. // A great deal can be learned about the entertainment industry by hobnobbing with folks at film festivals. See the entry > Examples: “My whole attitude has been—because all I care about is the music—I don't need to make the scene. I don't need to hobnob with the executives because I see them all the rest of the year.” — Jem Aswad, quoted in Variety, 14 Apr. 2026 Did you know? In William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Sir Toby Belch warns Viola that Sir Andrew wants to duel, telling her “‘Hob, nob' is his word” and then adding the gloss “give't or take't.” In today's English, he might have said “take it or leave it.” Sir Toby's hob, nob is an alteration of hab nab (“hit or miss,” “however things may turn out”), itself likely a shortening of the Middle English phrase habbe or nabbe (“whether I have or don't have”). After Shakespeare's day, hob-nob and hob or nob were used adverbially to mean “randomly.” And to drink hobnob, or hob or nob, was to take turns with one's drinking buddies toasting each other's health. Later, hobnob (as well as hob or nob, hob-a-nob, etc.) was verbified to mean “to drink socially” and then, dropping the booze, “to spend time with someone in a friendly way.” Today hobnob is used especially in situations where someone is chatting up someone famous or important, as in “hobnobbing with celebs.”
This is the Annual Gray's Inn Reading 2026.The lecture was delivered within three months of Sir Andrew McFarlane's retirement after 21 years on the Family Bench. Whilst the phrase ‘un-plugged' may not be appropriate, it is anticipated that the lecturer will no longer feel restrained by judicial caution when commenting upon the future development of Family Justice. In addition to a focus on the future of adoption law and the need for significant reform in relation to the financial rights of cohabitants, the lecturer will use a perspective gained from 8 years as the judicial Head of Family Justice to offer suggestions for reform of the system itself.This lecture was recorded by The Rt Hon Sir Andrew McFarlane on the 15th of June 2026Andrew McFarlane was called to the Bar in 1977 and practiced in chambers in Birmingham until 1993 when he moved to specialist family law chambers in London. He appeared at all levels of court including the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights. He was appointed as a QC in 1998. In April 2005 he was appointed to the High Court, Family Division and was for 5 years the Family Division Liaison Judge for the Midland Circuit. He was the legal member of the Government ‘Family Justice Review' Panel. In July 2011 he was appointed to be a Lord Justice of Appeal sitting full time in the Court of Appeal. On the 28th July 2018 Sir Andrew succeeded Sir James Munby as President of the Family Division and Head of Family Justice; he is due to retire as President at Easter 2026.Together with the late David Hershman he is the co-author of a loose-leaf legal text book entitled “Children: Law and Practice”. In addition, he has contributed to other publications and lectured throughout the UK and abroad.Sir Andrew has been a trustee of YoungMinds (the national young person's mental health charity) and is Patron of HOPE Family Centre (Bromyard) and of a prisoner support charity ‘Not Beyond Redemption'. In addition to being Chancellor of the Diocese of Exeter, Sir Andrew was Chairman of the Church of England Clergy Discipline Commission and President of Clergy Discipline Tribunals for 5 years until 2019. He has been a native of Herefordshire and Worcestershire for over 35 years and is a lay canon of Hereford Cathedral.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/grays-inn-26Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Welcome to episode 10 of The Privileged Man podcast with Sir Andrew Strauss. Straussy was a legendary England Cricket Captain becoming one of only three Englishmen to win the ashes both in England and Australia. I start off the podcast getting in as much cricket trivia as possible before settling into a deeper conversation on how Andrew dealt with the tragically early death of his beloved wife Ruth and the legacy it ultimately and stunningly created through the Ruth Strauss Foundation. Andrew's openness and vulnerability to talk about his grief is remarkably courageous and I'm hugely grateful too him for coming on the podcast and modelling this type of leadership.

Sir Andrew Dilnot is an economist who believes that statistics hold a key role in lessening inequality and making Britain fairer. He is now the warden of Nuffield College Oxford - a graduate college specialising in the social sciences. Before Nuffield, he was at the Institute for Fiscal Studies where he was the Director of the UK's leading independent economics research institute. A fierce advocate for statistics, he believes that data is at the heart of solving a whole raft of issues whether that's social care, education inequalities or faltering healthcare systems. And the UK's social care system is on a precipice. Two-thirds of people who have used or had contact with social care said they were dissatisfied with the service they had received or witnessed, according to a recent British Social Attitudes survey. And beyond just ‘dissatisfaction' lies damning figures - there were over 165,000 adult social care posts left vacant last year. What can be done? And what can the stats tell us? Season 4 of the We Society Podcast from the Academy of Social Sciences tackles the big questions through a social science lens. Throughout this series, you'll be hearing some of the best ideas to shape the way we live. Hosted by journalist and Academy President Will Hutton, we interview some of Britain's top social scientists and public figures from across the globe to explore their evidence-led solutions to society's most pressing problems.

Chris Caldwell introduces esteemed Professor, Sir Andrew Likierman, former Dean of London Business School, for their fascinating Conversation on DECISION MAKING and JUDGEMENT. Sir Andrew is an inspirational speaker, leader and management thinker. He advised Parliamentary Select Committees, was president of the Chartered Institute of Management and had roles at both Barclays Bank and the Bank of England. The complex world of decision making and judgement is many layered and Professor Likierman tells us of his own amazing voyage of discovery. This conversation will uncover the six elements of decision making - six elements that we can all understand and hopefully apply in our own everyday lives as well as in business. “…what struck me is that people talked about the importance of good judgment in making difficult choices and so I became very intrigued by this…” "Would you know that somebody has good judgment when they make a difficult choice, a difficult decision? You know what constitutes good judgment? … how do you know other people have got it if you're going to hire them?…” “...how do you bring everything together of the individual, the situation, the variables involved in a complex choice, what guidance can one give? And I found there was almost nothing written on this. And so intrigued by that, I said, all right, it's a voyage of discovery, and here I go…” “...and my aim, therefore, is to try, in terms of the phrase, stack the cards in one's favour of making a choice…" References: London Business School faculty profile https://www.london.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty-profiles/l/likierman-a Harvard Business Review Article by Sir Andrew Likierman: The Elements of Good Judgement https://hbr.org/2020/01/the-elements-of-good-judgment The scope of the challenge before us is beyond that of any one individual or any one solution.

Olivia, meeting Cesario, sends the others away and declares her love. Then in our second scene - Malvolio, who (according to the mischievous letter he received) is dressed with yellow stockings and is smiling grotesquely, appears before an astonished Olivia. Thinking him insane, Olivia puts him in the care of Sir Toby, who decides to treat him as a madman by having him bound and put in a dark room. Toby also decides to deliver Sir Andrew's challenge to Cesario in person in order to force the two of them into a duel. Terrified, they prepare to fight. Our cast includes...

Mr and Mrs Dreyton become suspicious of their Christmas house guest, Clarence Love. When events take a dark turn, Mr Dreyton tries to unravel the mystery of Mr Love's Antipodean adventures. This is an audio presentation (with music and sound effects) of "Christmas Reunion" by Sir Andrew Caldecott (1946) - part of this month's selection of Christmas ghost stories.
In this episode Clemmie speaks to the English Cricket legend Andrew Strauss about his experience with loss and grief, after losing his wife Ruth Strauss in 2018. He introduces a concept of 'doing death well' which was incredibly important for Ruth before she died. And so they wonder - what would "doing grief well" look like? Andrew says: "it baffles me that it's not more of an open conversation, that there's not more social norms about what grieving is." We couldn't agree more. It's more conversations like this, with national heroes and your next-door neighbour that will crack this subject open so we can create a healthy, open culture about something we will all go through.

Andrew is amongst the most successful and lauded England cricket captains of all time, and one of only three men to lead his country to Ashes Test series wins both home, and away. From a starting position of some disarray, his ability to engender trust and confidence in his England team led them all the way to the world number one ranking. The trust in his technique and ability saw him play 100 Test matches, and amass more than 7000 Test runs with a batting average of more than 40, including 21 centuries. His spell as captain coincided with the managerial stint of Andy Flower, and together they forged a crucial bond of trust in each other, and transformed a disparate band of cricketers into a team of world beaters. In the latter part of his career, his trust in the players was put to the ultimate test by Kevin Pietersen. .........................................

Austin Tichenor is directing Twelfth Night at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company this fall, and it turns out he's almost the only one at Cincy Shakes or the RSC who's never worked on it before! Fortunately, RSC members Teddy Spencer, Jerry Kernion, and Dominic Conti, plus Chicago actress and professor of acting at Northwestern University Cindy Gold, are able to give him tips and insights into the play and its characters because they've all done Twelfth Night multiple times. Featuring discussions of the text, Shakespeare's authorial intent, the driving force that is Maria, the difficulty of Malvolio, spectacular insight into Sir Toby Belch, the value of dumb shows and fencing, the way to dress Sir Andrew, excellent high-kicking, and the wonder of having a well-oiled Orsino.
