Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "PU" — abbreviation, pronounced /ˌpiː ˈjuː/, standing for polyurethane.

Narrator: In plain English, PU is a type of plastic — the stuff in spongy foam mattresses, varnishes and shoe soles.
Narrator: It stands for polyurethane, from poly meaning many and urethane, a chemical compound first synthesised in the nineteenth century.
Narrator: "A PU leather sofa" describes furniture made of synthetic material designed to look like real leather.
