2. It's suggested she's talking about the "Super League" some European soccer clubs want to form

To get even more money, largely from international TV rights, despite the hatred their fans have for the idea.

Countdown’s Susie Dent appears to reference European Super League with new ‘word of the day’

It comes as 12 of Europe's top clubs announced they were launching a breakaway European Super League.

Six English Premier League clubs will join AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid in setting up a league in direct competition to the UEFA Champions League.

European football's governing body UEFA have expressed their disapproval, claiming players participating in the Super League could be "banned from all UEFA and FIFA competitions, European or International level."

The tweet has been shared more than 23,000 times, with many users drawing a connection between Dent’s word choice and the outcry over the Super League plans.

3. Susie Dent is a lexicographer who is on a tv show called Countdown in Britain....

it's sort of like a word jumble puzzle.... they are given letters then they have to come up with the longest word they can make out of the given letters. She is a language and math whiz. I've seen the show. It would be a cool quiz show to have here.

Here's a little clip to show an example. If you go to the 5 minute mark (passed all the blathering) you will see how the game is played.
