There&#039;s Bob o&#039;clock (8:08), Big o&#039;clock (8:19), and even Pi o&#039;clock. Also this week, what do you call that gesture with your fingers when you want to make an image larger on an iPhone? Does anyone use the expression fat chance any more? And do the expressions graveyard shift, saved by the bell, and dead ringer has anything to do with weird Victorian burial practices?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DESCRIPTION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As members of the Bob o&#039;clock Facebook group know, the expression &quot;It&#039;s Bob O&#039;clock!&quot; means, &quot;It&#039;s 8:08!&quot; The hosts discuss this and other silly ways to tell time inspired by the boxy numbers on a digital clock. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/cufbDx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s the word for that gesture you make with your fingers when you want to make an image larger on an iPhone? Unpinch? Fwoop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Wisconsin man says he learned an expression that sounds like quixibar from his father to describe something confusing or befuddling. But he&#039;s never heard anyone else use it. Is it unique to his family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone use the expression fat chance any more? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a puzzle about heteronyms, words that have the same spelling, but different meanings, like &quot;moped&quot; as in &quot;acted glum&quot; and &quot;moped&quot; as in a motorized bike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A San Diego caller wonders about the expression a-gogo, as in the name of a local restaurant, Hash House A-Gogo. Where&#039;d it come from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You look like death eatin&#039; a cracker walkin&#039; backwards. In Appalachia, this phrase means, &quot;you look terrible.&quot; A caller wants to know its origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Dallas listener is struck by the fact that Texans talk about East Texas, North Texas, South Texas, and West Texas. So why, she wonders, do people in other states say things like Southern Indiana and Northern California? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant talks about his daily work as a lexicographer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Wellesley College student has been reading about the Victorian fear of being buried alive -- also known as taphophobia -- and the bizarre 19th-century burial practices associated with it. She&#039;s heard that they gave rise to such expressions as dead ringer, graveyard shift, and saved by the bell. Martha and Grant debunk those linguistic myths. By the way, here&#039;s a cool article about those weird Victorian &quot;escape coffins.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://obit-mag.com/articles/escape-coffins-the-fear-of-being-buried-alive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener in Buford, Ga., says his mother&#039;s maiden name was Barnett, and reports that he was told that the addition of an &quot;e&quot; to a last name was once an indication that the person was descended from slave families. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do physicians speak of turfing an undesirable patient?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your language question answered on the air!

Is the correct sentence &quot;The dog is chewing its bone,&quot; or &quot;The dog is chewing it&#039;s bone&quot;?&amp;nbsp; It&#039;s easy to figure out once you know the formula: It&#039;s = it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, Grant mentions that there&#039;s an ice cream called &quot;It&#039;s It.&quot; Here &quot;it&quot; is:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.itsiticecream.com/media.cfm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fish or cut bait. What does it mean, exactly? Stop fishing and cut your line, or stop fishing and do something else useful, like cutting bait?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an earlier episode, we discussed linguistic false friends, those words in foreign languages that look like familiar English words, but mean something quite different.&lt;br /&gt;Martha reads an email response from a listener who learned the hard way that in Norway &quot;Tann Paste&quot; is not the same as &quot;tanning cream.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.waywordradio.org/a-gazelle-on-the-lawn/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a puzzle called &quot;Categorical Allies.&quot; After he says a word, you must come up with second word that&#039;s in the same category, and begins with the last two letters of the original word. For example, if he says &quot;Sampras,&quot; then the category is tennis, and the second word is &quot;Ashe.&quot; Now try this first clue: &quot;Sacramento.&quot; The second word would be . . . ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone says, &quot;That&#039;s a good question,&quot; do you find it annoying or insincere?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Texas caller wonders about the origin and meaning of the term ultra-crepidarian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares an entomological--not etymological--riddle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The expression It&#039;ll never be seen on a galloping horse means &quot;Don&#039;t be such a perfectionist.&quot; But why? A caller remembers an even odder version: It&#039;ll never be seen on a galloping goose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an earlier episode, a caller named Todd said that people are forever calling him Scott. He wondered if there was some linguistic reason that people so often confused these names.

Also, why do we speak of a meteoric rise? Don&#039;t meteors plummet? What do you keep in a Fibber McGee drawer? Plus, myriad vs. myriad of, enamored of vs. enamored with, autocorrected text messages. And Martha shares a trick for eliminating those annoying verbal fillers like &quot;um&quot; and you know&quot; from one&#039;s speech. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say it&#039;s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for an autocorrected text message to be, well, correct. Listeners like Arnold share their funny Autocorrected text messages. And by Arnold, we of course mean Brooke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://n.pr/fz6qI4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, shut my mouth and call me Shirley! Butter my buns and call me a biscuit! A listener shares several of these humorous imperatives. Grant explains that the roots of these phrases probably go back to the 1940s. Phil Harris, the bandleader on Jack Benny&#039;s radio comedy, was known for using such colorful catchphrases. An early version was Cut off my legs and call me Shorty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/exqCLY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares a childhood misunderstanding sent in by a listener. Seems her three-year-old daughter confused the phrase &quot;exposed to the elements&quot; with &quot;exposed to the elephants.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call an expert speller? A &quot;Words With Friends&quot; enthusiast wants to know. Martha tells her that a great speller is called an orthographer or orthographist, from the Latin roots ortho- meaning &quot;straight&quot; or &quot;correct&quot;, and -graph meaning &quot;to write&quot;. A bad speller, on the other hand, is a cacographer, or as it&#039;s known among them, a kakagrifar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the term for that big inflatable play area you see at the park, or in your neighbor&#039;s yard? Is it a bouncy house? A jump? Grant asks listeners what they call this modern pumped-up playpen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our multi-talented Quiz Guy Greg Pliska, served as musical composer for the television documentary Flying Monsters 3-D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.flyingmonsters3dmovie.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That experience inspired him to create a puzzle using phrases that have the same letter appearing three times in a row. For example, where will you find trumpets and trombones? In the braSS Section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you keep in your Fibber McGee drawer? That&#039;s what some people call a catchall container for household items. Grant traces the term for the drawer back to the old Fibber McGee and Molly radio comedy. Whenever Fibber had to fetch something from the closet, that meant a green light for the sound effects guy to let anything and everything come tumbling out. Classic Fibber! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/igh3Hs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we say someone whose career on the ascent is enjoying a meteoric rise? Don&#039;t meteors plummet? For that matter, a caller asks, why do we call &quot;Heads up!&quot; when a ball is coming towards us? Shouldn&#039;t it be &quot;Heads down&quot;? The hosts explain that &quot;meteoric&quot; in &quot;meteoric rise&quot; refers to the speedy, brightly streaking nature of a meteor. As for &quot;Heads up,&quot; well, no language is perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares a word he&#039;s been encountering at conferences: discussant. A discussant is someone who, after a series of papers are presented, takes the microphone to summarize the information given and offer opinions on the matter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should you use enamored of or enamored with? Grant explains that while North Americans use both, enamored of is the more common of the two. In Great Britain, it&#039;s enamored of, a construction similar to those in several Romance languages. Enamored by, on the other hand, should never be used. But then, love is always worth expressing, no matter the preposition. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener reports that when her cat starts whining, she tells it to shut its kibble-hole. If only cats understood wordplay--or English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben Schott&#039;s language blog Schott&#039;s Vocab on the New York Times website held a contest for modern age greeting cards called Get Web Soon. Among the favorites: &quot;Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your data&quot; and &quot;Congratulations on your relationship update&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://nyti.ms/e0YbYe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener from Tennessee has a saying that doesn&#039;t quite land with his friends: &quot;Is it any count?&quot; Martha confirms that the phrase is most definitely Southern. It originates in the word &quot;account,&quot; and the question of whether something &quot;adds up.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does hoot mean? You might describe someone as a real hoot. But is the hoot in the phrase not give a hoot a different kind of hoot? Grant explains that in the positive case, hoot is a shortening of hootenanny, a informal party with folksy music. In the negative sense, however, to hoot at somebody means to disapprove of something. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it really possible to change your style of speaking so that you stop using the verbal fillers &quot;um&quot; and &quot;you know&quot;? Yes, you can. Martha relates her experience with dialect-coach-to-the-stars Sam Chwat. He was adamant that by catching ourselves every time we use that conversational crutch, we can consciously train ourselves to avoid it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://n.pr/eoFauX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should you use myriad or myriad of?

Yum! A listener shares this Southern term for big, fluffy biscuits. Also, how did people greet each other before &quot;hello&quot; became a standard greeting of choice? What does it mean if someone&#039;s fair to middling? How do you pronounce the word bury? Is the phrase whether or not redundant? Should we use try to or try and? And if Sam and them are coming, who exactly is &quot;them&quot;? Plus, Grant and Martha share some classic riddles, and Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a game of animal name mash-ups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when you throw a yellow rock into a purple stream? It splashes. (Ba-dump-bum.) Grant and Martha share this and other favorite riddles, some with deceptively obvious answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we pronounce bury like berry and not jury? The word originates in the Old English term byrgan, and the pronunciation apparently evolved differently in different parts of England. Grant explains why many terms go mispronounced if we read things without hearing them out loud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you say when you answer the telephone? On the NPR science blog, &quot;Krulwich Wonders,&quot; Robert Krulwich notes that hello did not become a standard greeting until the mid-19th Century, when the Edison Company recommended the word as a proper phone greeting. Before that, English speakers used a variety of phrases depending on the circumstance, from hail to how are you? One thing&#039;s certain: If we&#039;d followed Alexander Graham Bell&#039;s recommendation, we&#039;d all be greeting each other with &quot;Ahoy!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://n.pr/gscLCA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A riddle, a riddle, I suppose, a thousand eyes and never a nose. Nothing shakes up the dinner table conversation like a good potato riddle!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greg Pliska, musical director for the Broadway show War Horse and our very own Quiz Guy, has a puzzle about Animal Hybrid Phrases combining two common expressions involving animals. For example, what do you get when stuffed animal stocks go down? A Teddy Bear Market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#039;s a link to Greg&#039;s musical bio on the Lincoln Center website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/gt9h84&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever had golden catheads for breakfast? A native of Tennessee wonders about the origin of this term meaning &quot;biscuit&quot;--specifically, ones that are light, fluffy, and about the size of, well, a cat&#039;s head. Martha explains how the names of many foods derive from their resemblance to other things--a head of cabbage, for example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener has spent the last 30 years looking for the origin of the playful phrase &quot;you&#039;re the berries.&quot; This affectionate expression first appears in literature in the 1908 book Sorrows of a Showgirl, then made its way into popular slang by the 1920s. However, it seems to disappear during the next decade, and it remains only as a relic heard in the vernacular of those who lived during the era. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/gyF9TV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should we use try and or try to? Merriam-Webster&#039;s Dictionary of English Usage says it&#039;s grammatically permissible to try and go to the store, or to ask someone to try and speak up. However, a fan of formality ought to stick with try to. Still, Grant warns against trying to force logic on the English language by creating rules that don&#039;t exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/cQrxPx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/eydxnN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoever makes it tells it not. Whoever takes it knows it not. Whoever knows it wants it not. What is it? Martha shares this old riddle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of how children acquire language has long intrigued parents and scholars.&amp;nbsp; MIT cognitive scientist Deb Roy recently found a novel way to study what he calls &quot;word birth.&quot;&amp;nbsp; He wired his home with cameras and microphones, and recorded his infant son&#039;s every utterance as he grew into toddlerhood. He then combined the 90,000 hours of video and 140,000 hours of audio into some astonishing montages. Dr. Roy shared his findings at a TED conference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/eaKVBS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More visuals and audio from the study in this article from Fast Company:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/hOOf3Z&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;re fair to middling, you&#039;re doing just fine. A native of the Tennessee mountains wonders about the origin of this phrase her good-humored grandfather used. As it turns out, fair to middling was one of the many gradations a farmer would hear in the 19th Century when they&#039;d bring in their crop--usually cotton-- to be priced and purchased. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the phrase whether or not redundant? Well, take this sentence: &quot;Whether or not you like it, Martha is dressing as a ballerina.&quot; Would that sound right without the or not? Now, the or not is technically redundant, but depending on the case, it&#039;s best to pick the wording that won&amp;rsquo;t distract the reader or listener. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/91hA3J&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only the grass dies when elephants fight. This Liberian proverb is a reminder that it&#039;s the powerless who suffer when governments or factions fight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Sam and them are going to be here after while, can the &quot;and them&quot; mean just one additional person? In some parts of the country, it could be Sam&#039;s wife, or Sam&#039;s entire softball team. A listener from Texas shares this charming colloquialism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What goes 99, clump? If you woke up at night and scratched your head, what time would it be?

Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.&quot; Martha talks about this weather proverb, which has been around in one form or another since ancient times. Grant shares a favorite weather word: slatch http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/slatch. Also this week: Is there a better alternative to the word &quot;mentee&quot;? What&#039;s &quot;pooflapoo pie&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Dallas listener and her boss have a dispute. The boss says the staff should get &quot;on the stick.&quot; The caller and her co-workers say the correct phrase is &quot;on the ball.&quot; Grant gives her an answer, then suggests a third option used in Hawaii: &quot;on the kinipopo.&quot; http://bit.ly/bHw1F6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s the best term for &quot;someone who&#039;s being mentored&quot;? A woman in a mentoring program at church thinks the word &quot;mentee sounds like &quot;manatee.&quot; She&#039;s hoping for an alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares another weather-related word from Britain: parky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=57638&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski offers a puzzle in honor of the hosts&#039; initials. Every clue prompts a two-word answer beginning with the letters M and B or G and B. For example: &quot;Paper or plastic?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A caller named Todd says that when people meet him for the first time, they sometimes call him Scott, even if he&#039;s wearing a nametag with his real name on it. It&#039;s happened too many times to be a coincidence, he says, and wonders if there&#039;s something about the double letters that registers the wrong name in people&#039;s minds. Why do we get other people&#039;s names wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whip up a big batch of pistachio pudding, then add pineapple, walnuts, Cool Whip, and marshmallow bits, and what do you have? A Los Angeles woman says her grandmother used to make a dish with those ingredients that she called &quot;pooflapoo pie.&quot; Is that just her family&#039;s name for it, or do other people refer to it that way? Other people call it &quot;Watergate salad&quot; or &quot;ambrosia.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have trouble remembering the difference between stalagtites and stalagmites? Martha shares a mnemonic that will help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A police officer says that the prosecutor edits out the word &quot;that&quot; from the reports he submits, as in, &quot;The subject stated that he met the co-defendant at a party.&quot; Is the word &quot;that&quot; necessary here? Martha and Grant disagree. Also, the cop also has a brain-teaser for the hosts: Can you use the word &quot;that&quot; five times consecutively in a sentence correctly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hosts talk about the tricks they use to remember how to spell certain words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we say that someone finely attired is &quot;dressed to the nines&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman says that when playing hide-and-seek with a small child, her mother-in-law says &quot;peep-eye&quot;!&quot; instead of &quot;peekaboo&quot;!&quot; Is that usage limited to certain parts of the country? And where do they say &quot;pee-bo&quot;!&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant talks about two other weather-related terms, &quot;frontogenesis&quot; and &quot;aeromancy.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When comparing one item with the rest of the items in a group, &quot;which is better: more or most&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your language question answered on the air!

And what does it mean to walk in a crocodile? Plus, mondegreens, naval slang, learned versus learnt, and no way, Jose. And what do you call that flourish at the bottom of John Hancock&#039;s John Hancock?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need a Scrabble word with q or z? Grant shares some of his favorite legal Scrabble words: qi (the circulating life force in Chinese philosophy), qat (a leaf chewed in some cultures for stimulating effects), and za (a shortening of the word &quot;pizza&quot;). He&#039;s inviting listeners to challenge him on the game Words with Friends on the iPhone or Android: search the username grantbarrett. What good is a smartphone without smart friends?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do we get the phrase belly up? The expression has made its way to the bar, but the original belly up belonged to a dead fish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener wonders why his girlfriend remarks &quot;hubba-hubba&quot; when he&#039;s dressing up for the night. The flirty call had its heyday in the 1940s, when World War II soldiers would see a pretty lady walking down the street. Although no one&#039;s sure of the origin of &quot;hubba hubba,&quot; new research suggests it might have evolved from a catchphrase used by the &quot;Ki Ki, the Haba Haba Man,&quot; an employee of P.T. Barnum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&#039;s nothing like some joe with cow and sand in the morning. That would be &quot;coffee with milk and sugar&quot; in World War II naval slang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.jstor.org/pss/1495930&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a game of rhyming headlines based on the 1937 Variety issue, &quot;Sticks Nix Hick Pix,&quot; claiming that rural folks avoid movies about rural folks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/fgtLlM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a madcap comedy? A fan of classics like Bringing up Baby wonders about the origin of the term. Martha explains that years ago, the word cap sometimes referred to one&#039;s &quot;head.&quot; So if someone&#039;s &quot;madcap,&quot; they&#039;re crazy in the head. And of course, what would Shakespeare&#039;s Henry IV be without the &quot;nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you say &quot;shtreet&quot;? The str sound is becoming shtr in more and more mouths of English speakers. Grant explains that this pronunciation of &quot;street&quot; as &quot;shtreet&quot; is simply a feature of language--sort of the consonant version of a diphthong. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call that embellishment at the bottom of old signatures, like the hash-marked line beneath John Hancock&#039;s name? It&#039;s called a paraph, originally used as a distinct mark to protect against forgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener was confused when she heard a radio announcer say a man had &quot;Amanda Lynn&quot; in his hands, only to find out that it was &quot;a mandolin.&quot; These funny misheard phrases are called mondegreens, a term coined in Sylvia Wright&#039;s 1954 Harper&#039;s article, &quot;The Death of Lady Mondegreen&quot;. It comes from a mishearing of the song &quot;The Bonny Earl of Moray&quot;: &quot;They have slain the Earl o&#039; Moray, and laid him on the green.&quot; Another example: &quot;Olive, the other reindeer&quot; for &quot;all of the other reindeer&quot; in the song about Rudolph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/f0OLUE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://huff.to/15mHyy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are The Two Ronnies from the BBC television show in a sketch about the mishearing of &quot;fork handles&quot; as &quot;four candles.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/g9bWg&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Grant reads from a listener&#039;s favorite poem by Lisel Mueller called &quot;Why We Tell Stories.&quot; It reads in part: &quot;We sat by the fire in our caves,/ and because we were poor, we made up a tale/ about a treasure mountain/ that would open only for us.&quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/gtwrCt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares an email from a longtime listener, Lois Teeslink of Vista, Calif., about a favorite childhood librarian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s the source of the phrase No way, Jose? And who in the world is Jose? Grant says the expression doesn&#039;t show up in print until 1973, contrary to the oft-repeated story that it appeared in The Village Voice during the 1960s. The phrase &quot;No way&quot; was often used then; the name Jose was likely tacked on just because it rhymes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The saying Act in haste, repent at leisure is typically a warning that means &quot;if you make a hasty decision, you&#039;ll have plenty of time to mull over your mistake later.&quot; It&#039;s likely a variation of an older version, &quot;Marry in haste, repent at leisure.&quot;&amp;nbsp; David Foster Wallace had a most apt use of the phrase in his novel Infinite Jest: &quot;The shopworn &#039;Act in Haste, Repent at Leisure&#039; would seem to have been custom-designed for the case of tattoos&quot;. Be it a tattoo or a marriage, it&#039;s wise to think about the consequences before you act. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you ever walk in a crocodile? In Britain, a crocodile can be &quot;a group of children walking two by two in a long file.&quot; The phrase came up in an interview with the stylist Vidal Sassoon, who, as a child in London walked in a crocodile to school with other Jewish students being heckled by Nazi sympathizers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/6n71BG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://n.pr/eoRkT7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we tested on what we&#039;ve learned, or what we&#039;ve learnt? Grant explains how efforts to replace the &quot;t&quot; verb ending with &quot;ed&quot; gradually took hold in the United States, but not in Britain. Affiliated nations, such as Australia, New Zealand, and India, also use the &quot;t&quot; form. Either way, they&#039;re both correct. Grant recommends some books on Indian English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/fesVDe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/ggom2v&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Imitation is the sincerest form of television,&quot; said the radio comedian Fred Allen.

Grant and Martha talk about how children acquire language. Also, if you say that something&#039;s in your wheelhouse, you mean that it&#039;s within your area of expertise. But why &quot;wheelhouse&quot;? And what does it mean to be &quot;high as Cooter Brown&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant and Martha talk about new and unusual slang. If something has you puzzled or mystified, you&#039;re metagrobolized. If you&#039;re speaking voice sounds like grunting, you&#039;re said to be gruntulous. And what does spox mean? It&#039;s journalistic slang for &quot;spokesperson.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some musicians are having a dispute over the word repeat: If the conductor says, &quot;Repeat this section two times,&quot; how many times should they play the passage? Twice? Three times?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know those dull sports cliches like &quot;We came to play&quot; and &quot;He left it all on the field&quot;? They&#039;re called bromides. The hosts explain the connection between the tired platitude and the sedative called potassium bromide. The answer involves a book by the humorist Gelett Burgess called Are You a Bromide? You can see a copy here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/gp0UqU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In theology, epikeia involves observing the spirit of a law rather than the literal rule. Grant explains how in many cases, epikeia actually serves a greater good. Thomas Aquinas defends cases of epikeia in his Summa Theologica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/icozsT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In honor of the 2011 Academy Awards, Quiz Guy Greg Pliska offers his own version, The Oxcars. The trick is that the nominees for Best Picture at the Oxcars have the same titles as this year&#039;s real nominees for the Oscar, but with one letter changed. Example: What was this year&#039;s installment of the hit animated series about headline news? Why, that would be &quot;Top Story 3.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Wyoming native asks about the origin of her father&#039;s term of approbation, good leather. Grant says it&#039;s probably from baseball, where good leather means &quot;good fielding with a leather glove.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we a nosy species? A listener married to a woman from Bangladesh explains how a Bengali term that translates as &quot;nose-going&quot; reflects the naturally inquisitive style of Bangladeshi culture. In many languages, the nose figures prominently in words and idioms involving inquiry or investigation. Martha notes a Spanish term, olfatear, related to the English olfactory, meaning &quot;to sniff or pry into.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.&quot; Martin Luther King Jr. wrote those words in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. The hosts discuss this and other modern proverbs with staying power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dental student wonders about acetabulum, the anatomical term for the hip socket. Martha traces it back to the Latin word for &quot;vinegar cup.&quot; In ancient Rome, households had a vinegar cup on the dinner table for dipping bits of food. The cup bore an astonishing similarity to the human hip socket. Many of our body parts came to be named after familiar, mundane items. The word pelvis, for example, comes from Latin for &quot;basin.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who doesn&#039;t love a couthy lad? Grant plugs this Scottish adjective for someone who&#039;s sociable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An earlier episode of &quot;A Way with Words&quot; addressed full-deckisms, those clever phrases describing someone who falls short in some way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://waywordradio.org/a-few-pickles-short-of-a-jar/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simon Ager&#039;s site omniglot.com is stacked with full-deckisms from around the world. In English-speaking countries, someone who&#039;s not quite with it is said to be two sandwiches short of a picnic. In Germany, however, this is described with the question &quot;Are you still ticking on time?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://omniglot.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do children acquire language? Do they start with nouns, like &quot;Mama&quot; and &quot;cat,&quot; then graduate to verbs and other parts of speech? Grant explains that language acquisition starts even earlier, with children simply emulating sounds they hear. Around the world, kids learn to speak in remarkably similar patterns. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/dPxmZk&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/hktMV8&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/i4L2ZB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If something is in your wheelhouse, it&#039;s well within your area of expertise. According to The Dickson Baseball Dictionary, the term wheelhouse refers to swinging a bat when the ball is right in your crush zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/fenGp3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it&#039;s raining cats and dogs, the Greeks say, &quot;It&#039;s raining chair legs!&quot; Omniglot has many more terms for downpours around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/9kAaAt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is Cooter Brown? And just how high is he? His name appears in lots of phrases, including high as Cooter Brown, drunk as Cooter Brown, dead as Cooter Brown, fast as Cooter Brown, and fertile as Cooter Brown. The earliest known references to him appear in African-American publications in Atlanta in the 1930s. Cooter Brown, also known as Cootie Brown, even made his way into the work of Langston Hughes. Yet the identity of Mr. Brown remains a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you listen to the show via podcast, then you might say it&#039;s coming to you in silico. This computer science term means &quot;performed on computer or by computer simulation.&quot; It&#039;s the equivalent of in vitro, or &quot;in glass,&quot; or in vivo, &quot;in a living body,&quot; used in biological experiments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your language question answered on the air!

Get your tail out of the gravy!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;If you say to someone the Spanish equivalent of you&#039;re giving me green hairs (me sacas canas verdes), it means that person is making you angry. In Japan, the phrase that literally translates as &quot;one red dot&quot; refers metaphorically to &quot;the lone woman in a group of men.&quot; Martha and Grant discuss these and other idioms collected online in Alan Kennedy&#039;s Color/Language Project.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.starchamber.com/colors/color-idioms.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it proper to speak of servicing a customer, or does that sound too suggestive? Is it okay to use the word utilize instead of use? Is it pretentious to use the term formulate instead of simply form?&lt;br /&gt;What do you call the end piece of a loaf of bread? Names for that last slice include heel, bread butt, kissing crust, bunce, skirk, krunka, truna, tumpee, canust, the nose, and in Spanish, codo, which means &quot;elbow.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Spanish and French, if you have the equivalent of &quot;a white night,&quot; it means you didn&#039;t get much sleep. In Sweden, if you have a &quot;white week,&quot; it means you didn&#039;t drink a drop of alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski offers a puzzle about portmanteau words called &quot;Say Can You See.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we say someone is making money hand over fist? Does it have to do with two competitors putting one hand over the other on a baseball bat to determine who&#039;s up first? Or does it have to do with pulling a rope?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More great color idioms, this time from Serbo-Croatian: In that language, a phrase that translates as I can&#039;t see a white cat means &quot;I&#039;m very tired,&quot; and to stare like a calf at a colorful door means to &quot;look upon something with surprise and wonder.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Dallas man says his father, who served in Vietnam, signed letters back home to the family with the phrase Don&#039;t take any wooden nickels. The hosts explain that this expression means&amp;nbsp; &quot;don&#039;t let anyone swindle you.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;In Mandarin Chinese, if you&#039;re big red and big purple, it means you&#039;re &quot;famous and popular.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scat, Tom! Get your tail out of the gravy! In some parts of the country, especially the South, people say this after someone sneezes. But what does a cat warming its tail in the gravy boat have to do with sneezing?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Some foreign idioms involving color have been adopted whole into English. A case in point: French bete noire. Literally, it means &quot;black beast,&quot; and it&#039;s used figuratively now in English to mean anything particularly disliked or avoided.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Grant recommends two blogs about writing well and copyediting: Merrill Perlman writes The Language Corner blog for the Columbia Journalism Review.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cjr.org/language_corner/&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;And Philip B. Corbett of the New York Times reports on actual grammatical and usage mistakes in that newspaper in his blog, After Deadline.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;http://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/after-deadline/&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;An Indianapolis listener has a copy of a wedding poem that refers to the thrice-happy pair. Is a thrice-happy pair three times as happy as anyone else? Martha explains that the idea goes all the way back to Roman poetry. Here&#039;s an example from a translation of Horace&#039;s Ode 1.13.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/g4QwP0&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Does the expression petered out have to do with the Apostle Peter denying he knew Jesus? Au contraire. Petered out may derive from the French peter, meaning to &quot;pass gas.&quot; Another theory is that the expression originated in mining and the use of saltpeter in explosives. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;A fan of the TV series &quot;West Wing&quot; was puzzled by a character&#039;s use of the term pulchritude. It&#039;s a pretty ugly term for a word that means &quot;beauty.&quot; Check out what some other commenters are saying about the word.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;http://thepioneerwoman.com/homeschooling/2010/10/pulchritude/ &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Is it grammatically correct for a high school football team to call itself the Vanguards?

(We didn&#039;t think so.) That&#039;s just one of the autocorrect horror stories that can happen when smartphones mistakenly correct a text message. Martha and Grant discuss several more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://damnyouautocorrect.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone is gobsmacked, they&#039;re totally surprised. The term may come from the same Gaelic root that gave us the Everlasting Gobstopper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://taoism.about.com/b/2008/12/29/everlasting-gobstopper.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should the sign on the boys&#039; bathroom at a school read Boy&#039;s Room or Boys&#039; Room? The hosts clarify where to put the apostrophe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A fifth-year senior&quot;? That term is so 2007. These days, college students just refer to that extra year of school as taking a victory lap. Grant shares this and other examples of campus slang collected by University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill professor Connie Eble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a game of demonyms. What do you call someone from a certain place? If you&#039;re from Cambridge, for example, you&#039;re a Cantabrigian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone has overegged the pudding, they&#039;ve overstated the case. This may explain why a lawyer from Lawrence, Kansas, found the phrase in a judicial opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A motivational Chinese idiom translates as &quot;ride the cow, look for the horse.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are the names Aaron and Erin pronounced the same? A bicoastal listener insists they should sound different. A longer discussion about Erin vs. Aaron is on the Straight Dope message board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-133780.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word sic, meaning &quot;thus&quot; in Latin, is placed in the text when an author knowingly quotes a misspelled word or otherwise incorrect statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A native of Southern Pennsylvania has always used the term macadam in place of asphalt. Martha traces the word from an old gravel road to the modern day tarmac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Japanese idiom, referring to someone who takes credit for another&#039;s work, translates as &quot;doing sumo in someone else&#039;s underwear.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you say, &quot;The worm has turned,&quot; it means you&#039;ve lost patience. Grant and Martha explain that this expression goes back to the old proverb &quot;Tread on a worm and it will turn.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More and more college students are getting pregnant with burrito babies. Grant explains that that this slang term simply means that someone&#039;s stomach is full from a hefty meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the proper use of the French term coup de grace? Grant and Martha explain how the term has been twisted, both in pronunciation and meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you tell the difference between who and whom? A listener shares a chant learned in grade school to remember the proper usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares a bit of military humor related to cumshaw, the art of procuring what you need in ingenious ways: &quot;There is only one thief in the army. Everyone else is just trying to get their stuff back.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know the feeling when something hurts so good? A massage therapist looks for a term that describes this mix of pleasure and anguish. Sensanguish? Hedonalgia, maybe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares Tom Swifties sent in by listeners: &quot;Aw, shucks, I dropped the toothpaste,&quot; Tom said crestfallenly, and &quot;I&#039;ve located the experts,&quot; Tom said profoundly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your language question answered on the air!

Martha and Grant swap stories about how they came up with names for their dogs. Also this week: Have you ever been called a &quot;stump-jumper&quot;? How about a snicklefritz? And what&#039;s the last word in the dictionary? Depending on which dictionary you consult, it might be &quot;zythum,&quot; &quot;zyzzyva,&quot; &quot;zyxomma,&quot; or &quot;zyxt.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes the process of naming a pet takes a while. The hosts talk about how their dogs&#039; names evolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A native Japanese speaker is mystified by the expression &quot;happy as a clam.&quot; In Japanese, she says, if you had a good night&#039;s sleep you might say you &quot;slept like a clam&quot; or &quot;slept like mud.&quot; So why do English speakers think clams are content?&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s the very last word in the dictionary?

For instance: &quot;This is how Steve Jobs begins a card game.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A caller from Princeton, Texas, remembers that after a satisfying meal, her late father used to push back from the table and say, &quot;I am sufficiently suffonsified. Anything more would be purely obnoxious to my taste. No thank you.&quot; What heck did he mean by that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Vermonter says he&#039;s sometimes called a &quot;stump-jumper.&quot; Should he be flattered or insulted?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares a couple of &quot;Tom Swifties,&quot; those funny sentences that make great punny use of adverbs, like &quot;&#039;My bicycle wheel is damaged,&#039; Tom said outspokenly.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we say that someone who&#039;s happy is in &quot;hog heaven&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha tells the story behind the term &quot;Tom Swifty.&quot; Grant shares some more funny examples from the &quot;A Way with Words&quot; discussion forum http://www.waywordradio.org/discussion/episodes-1/a-whole-nother-full-episode/.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Gradoo&quot; is a word for something undesirable, the kind of thing you&#039;d rather scrape off your shoe.

(We didn&#039;t say it had to be appetizing.) What would you serve a jeweler? Carats. Martha and Grant play the &quot;What Would You Serve?&quot; game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Little Rock, Ark., caller has been going out with a Chinese woman. Her English is pretty good, but he wonders about the most polite way to correct a minor grammar mistake without ruining a new relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s the origin of the expressions &quot;Word!&quot; and &quot;Word up!&quot;? Grant shares a theory from the book &quot;Black Talk&quot; by Geneva Smitherman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/gLhqdo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, here&#039;s that 1980&#039;s-era song &quot;Word Up.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjAantupsA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you serve a chronic procrastinator? Ketchup. What would you serve a fertility specialist? Eggplant. Martha serves up those and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a quiz based on news events of the last several months, all in limerick form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman in Gainesville, Fla., says her father and his partner have an ongoing Scrabble feud over rebeheaded. Is it a word?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Anymore, I play golf instead of tennis.&quot; Grant explains that this grammatical construction is known as the &quot;positive anymore.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you serve to people separated by six degrees? Bacon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sign-language interpreter found herself translating the word doldrums. She wonders if it has to do the area of the ocean known by that name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you serve a group of musicians and cardiologists? How about beets?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares some collective nouns sent in by listeners in response to a recent show on the topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.waywordradio.org/roberta-of-flax/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does nonplussed mean, exactly? Does it mean &quot;unflappable&quot; or &quot;at a loss.&quot; Martha and Grant disagree about its use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there some kind of snappy jingle for knowing when to use who and whom? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares some familiar proverbs that supposedly arose from African-American English. The book he mentions is Proverbs, by Wolfgang Mieder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/dQVxmQ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need a word for &quot;lover of the underdog&quot;?

When you were young, what did you call &quot;your favorite blanket&quot;? When do you &quot;redd up&quot; the table, and what does it mean to be &quot;out like Lottie&#039;s eye&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hosts talk about some verses from &quot;Essential Pleasures&quot; http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/20680, Robert Pinsky&#039;s anthology of poems meant to be read aloud. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a woman decides to keep her own name after getting married, should she be addressed as &quot;Ms.&quot; or &quot;Mrs.&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Don&#039;t be frontin&#039;!&quot; A Texas college student is curious about the origin of &quot;fronting,&quot; and learns that it goes back several decades to the world of petty criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can go &quot;up a chimney down, but not down a chimney up&quot;? Martha has that riddle&#039;s answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a happy time with a word puzzle whose answers all include the word &quot;happy.&quot; Try this: &quot;The nickname of Xaviera Hollander, as derived from the title of her bestselling 1971 memoir.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you were small, did you have a favorite blanket? If so, what&#039;d you call it? A &quot;woobie&quot;? A &quot;blankie&quot;? A listener says her grandmother called hers an &quot;ookoosh,&quot; and wonders if the word reflects grandma&#039;s Czech roots. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;re driving and need to turn 180 degrees, you make a U-turn. But what do you make if you speak a language that doesn&#039;t include the letter &quot;U&quot;? If you&#039;re a Hindi speaker, what do you call wearing a V-neck sweater in an A-frame house?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone&#039;s fast asleep, a Texan might say that he&#039;s &quot;out like Lottie&#039;s eye.&quot; But who&#039;s Lottie and what happened to her eye? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some children don&#039;t talk until they&#039;re age three or older, then go on to do just fine. Why do some kids start speaking relatively late in life? The hosts talk about a recent Ask Metafilter http://ask.metafilter.com/139980/Why-didnt-I-say-anything-until-I-was-three thread on that topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a word that describes someone who&#039;s good at visualizing how best to pack a suitcase or car? A Michigan woman is sure she heard such a term for someone who can visualize 3-D arrangements in advance, but darned if she can recall what it is. Can the hosts help?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Connecticut listener is suspicious of a Wikipedia entry that claims the slang term &quot;homie&quot; derives from Latin &quot;homo,&quot; meaning man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spanish phrase &quot;Donde lloran, est&amp;aacute; al muerto&quot; literally translates as &quot;Where there&#039;s crying, there&#039;s a dead person.&quot; In everyday use, however, the meaning is somewhat different. You might use it, for example, to describe someone who claims not to have money when in fact he does. A bilingual caller wonders if there&#039;s an analogous expression that refers to someone who&#039;s miserly despite being wealthy. Grant recommends he check out &quot;A Dictionary of Mexican-American Proverbs&quot; http://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Mexican-American-Proverbs/dp/0313253854 by Mark Glazer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another riddle I&#039;m taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case from which I&#039;m never released, yet I&#039;m used by almost everybody.

How about &quot;Actor Sent to Jail for Not Finishing Sentence&quot;? Or &quot;Queen Mary Having Bottom Scraped&quot;? Same for signs that make you do a double take, like &quot;Senior Citizens! Buy One, Get One Free.&quot; A San Diego caller shares a couple of her favorite oddly worded signs, and the hosts mention a few of their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone&#039;s driving you bonkers, you&#039;d be forgiven for grumbling, &quot;He&#039;s such a pill!&quot; But why a pill?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Grandpa ever enthuse about Grandma&#039;s cooking with the words &quot;Good stuff, Maynard!&quot; A Waukesha, Wisconsin caller remembers his own grandfather doing that, and wants to know how this expression came about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an earlier episode, http://.waywordradio.org/word-encounters-of-the-first-kind/, we discussed the slang term sketchy, meaning &quot;creepy&quot; or &quot;alarming&quot; or &quot;suspicious.&quot; Grant shares an email from a listener suggesting a link to the world of amphetamine users.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski stops by with a quiz about superlatives. Naturally, his name for the quiz is Best. Puzzle. Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your brother-in-law the motormouth beats around the bush for so long about something that in exasperation you tell him to &quot;cut to the chase.&quot; The hosts explain the Hollywood roots of this phrase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Barack Obama intoned, &quot;I do not underestimate the enormity of the task ahead,&quot; some grammar sticklers recoiled. Pointing to the word&#039;s roots, they insist that enormity means not &quot;large,&quot; but &quot;out of the ordinary.&quot; A caller who&#039;s been following a heated online dispute about this word asks the hosts for a verdict. They give the president-elect a pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when Bugs Bunny used to say, &quot;Now wait just a cotton-pickin&#039; minute?&quot; A caller wants to know if cotton-pickin&#039; has racist overtones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an earlier episode, http://waywordradio.org/a-moniker-for-your-monitor/,&lt;br /&gt;we discussed whether there&#039;s a word for &quot;a drawn-out leave-taking&quot;--when, say, a friend says &quot;goodbye&quot; but keeps thinking of &quot;one more thing&quot; to say before exiting. Martha suggested the term doorknob-hanging. Several listeners wrote to say that physicians commonly use the terms getting doorknobbed and doorknob question to mean something similar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week&#039;s &quot;Slang This!&quot; contestant, from Cold Spring, Kentucky, tries to puzzle out the meaning of slang terms, including herky and producer&#039;s button. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In certain parts of the South, a small, impromptu gift is variously known by the sibilant synonyms sirsee, surcy, searcy, or circe. A South Carolina woman who&#039;s heard the word all her life is baffled as to where it came from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh-oh. Your credit card&#039;s missing. As you frantically search for it, your mind fast-forwards through the bad things that could happen if it&#039;s been stolen. Then, to your enormous relief, you find the card. Is there a specific word for that kind of immense relief, when something you&#039;ve dreaded doesn&#039;t happen? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the QT means &quot;surreptitiously&quot; or &quot;hush-hush.&quot; Why the letters? Are they an abbreviation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha talks about a favorite Latin-based word: pandiculation. It&#039;s a term that means &quot;the stretching that accompanies yawning.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, for more strangely worded signs, check out &quot;The Bad Sign Brigade&quot; on Flickr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.flickr.com/groups/labels4dummies/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For amusing headlines and unfortunate journalistic locutions, we recommend the &quot;Sic!&quot; section of Michael Quinion&#039;s newsletter, available from his site, World Wide Words, http://www.worldwidewords.org.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Way with Words is a self-supporting independent production.

An Ohio professor of popular culture wants to talk about it.&amp;nbsp; Here&#039;s the Metafilter thread mentioned in that discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/Nl38h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#039;s a Venn Diagram about nerds, geeks, dorks, and dweebs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/aJxb9E&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Pacific Northwest, the term spendy means &quot;expensive.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant has an update on the jocular pronunciation of &quot;skedooly&quot; for the word schedule. The original discussion about it is here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://waywordradio.org/chester-drawers/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puzzle Guy John Chaneski presents a quiz called &quot;Repeat after Me.&quot; It&#039;s a quiz that&#039;s neither so-so nor too-too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Marine at Camp Pendleton says that while in Iraq, he and his buddies heard the greeting &quot;Yambo!&quot; from Ugandan troops there. Now they use it with each other, and he wonders about its literal meaning. Martha explains that it&#039;s a common Kiswahili term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the novel Jane Eyre, characters sometimes speak whole sentences in French. A high school English teacher says her students wonder if there&#039;s a term for inserting whole sentences from another language into fiction. Grant talks about the use of foreignisms and loanwords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha has a crazy crossword clue sent by a listener: &quot;Camel&#039;s Nemesis.&quot; Twelve letters. Got it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Residents of Maine are called &quot;Mainers,&quot; people in Texas are &quot;Texans,&quot; those in Wisconsin are &quot;Wisconsinites,&quot; and people in Phoenix are . . . Phoenicians&quot;? Grant and Martha explain that there are consistent rules for the naming the locals. The book they reference is Paul Dickson&#039;s Labels for Locals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/eXeAWx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha and Grant offer gift recommendations for language lovers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages, by Guy Deutscher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/bSjZON&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK: The Improbable Story of America&#039;s Greatest Word, by Allan Metcalf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/igLJn8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lost in Lexicon: An Adventure in Words and Numbers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.lostinlexicon.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dreaming in Chinese: Mandarin Lessons in Life, Love, and Language &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.deborahfallows.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call the crust that forms in the corners of your eyes when you sleep? Sleepydust, sleepysand, eyejam, slam, eye boogers, eye potatoes, sleep sugar, eye crusties, sleepyjacks. An Indiana man wonders if anyone else uses his family&#039;s term for it, cat butter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the proper phrase toe the line or tow the line?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant talks about how that great American export, the word OK, was part of the first conversation on the surface of the moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You upgrade your software, and instead of working better, it&#039;s worse. Is there a word for that phenomenon? Downgrade? Oopsgrade? How about Newcoked?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poutrage is a new term for &quot;acting outraged when you&#039;re really not. It&#039;s sort of like accismus, &quot;the pretended refusal of something actually very much desired.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Way with Words is a self-supporting independent production.

He recommends a collection of sound files from metros and subways around the world http://mic-ro.com/metro/announcements.html. For different type of stroll down mem&#039;ry lane, check out Mel Blanc&#039;s version of a train conductor here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygVFbz6AsnE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone still say &#039;Shut UP!&#039; to mean &#039;No way!&#039;?

How about the dance that involves many missteps while dancing to the music of Johann Strauss?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is &#039;ouch!&#039; a universal word, or does what you say when you stub your toe depend on what language you speak?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Seattle-area veteran remembers that in Vietnam he and others like him were known as &#039;cumshaw artists.&#039; They were the guys who scared up and permanently borrowed whatever their unit needed -- gasoline, vehicle parts, or whiskey for a party. He&#039;s always wondered about the appellation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phrase &#039;Let&#039;s talk about how the cow ate the cabbage means&#039; &#039;Let&#039;s talk frankly.&#039; The hosts talk plainly about the naughty tale that may be behind it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#039;s never too late to start learning Latin, a language that will deepen your understanding and appreciation of English.

MARK ROSS \nColumnist\n\nIf my family ever shared a party line phone, I do not remember it. What I do remember is a big black rotary phone that hung on the wall. Every phone was rotary then. No, it did not have a crank on the side. Still, we never had a party line.\nI would like to think that is because I am so young. My children would disagree. &ldquo;Older than dirt&rdquo; is one of their terms of endearment for me. However, having a party line seemed to have more to do with where you lived, rather than when you lived.\nPrior to World War II, party lines were the rule in rural America. Any number of homes would share the same phone line with other homes in the community.\nThe technology created a number of challenges. Long distance calls always involved an operator, so the right home could be charged. You could not make a call if someone else was on the line. There were a lot of pickups and hang-ups. One had to be patient.\nArguably, the greatest inconvenience was the lack of privacy. The neighbors could listen in on your conversation. \nI am certain this quirk was a source of great frustration. I am just as sure it was a source of great entertainment. If television or radio was available, channels were limited. When there was nothing else to do, one could always pick up and listen on the party line.\nI never shared a party line until a few weeks ago. Smyth County had just experienced a rainstorm. There was some flooding, but mainly everything was just wet. The electricity flickered but remained working. Phone service in my neighborhood did not fare so well.\nPhones never went completely out. Apparently, the wires were just wet and crossed. Our phone would ring but we could not answer. We could call out but no one ever picked up.\nSome of our other neighbors had a different challenge. When they tried to make a call, there were voices on the line. One neighbor recognized another, &ldquo;Mary is that you?&rdquo;\n&ldquo;Yes, but who is this?&rdquo;\n&ldquo;It&rsquo;s your neighbor Fran down the street.&rdquo;\n&ldquo;Well, how did you get in on my call?&rdquo;\nConversations like that happened for several days. First, it was odd. Then, it became funny. Finally, as one neighbor put it, &ldquo;It was sort of nice.&rdquo; People who had not spoken in years caught up with each other. Folks who normally just waved had a conversation. Admittedly, it was a strange, three people talking at once, but it worked.\nOne of the most haunting questions in the Bible is God&rsquo;s rhetorical question to Cain. &ldquo;Where is your brother?&rdquo; Cain answers with a question, &ldquo;Am I my brother&rsquo;s keeper?&rdquo; His lame defense fell apart. Not only was Cain his brother&rsquo;s keeper. So are we.\nPrivacy is overvalued. Still, private lines rather than party lines and stoops rather than porches give us that privacy. It comes at a high price. Not only do we not keep our brother, many of us do not know our neighbors.\nSome say about Smyth County, &ldquo;If you do not know what you are doing, just ask your neighbor.&rdquo; We can go too far being our brother&rsquo;s keeper. Yet, the alternative is worse.\nI have to confess that I missed out on the neighborhood&rsquo;s temporary party line. My phone lines were either too dry or too wet. Although, I picked the phone up a couple of dozen times, all I was able to eavesdrop on was static.&amp;nbsp; \nEveryone was glad when the lines finally dried out. I think people appreciate their privacy, but I also think some of them kind of miss the party.\n\nDr. Mark Ross is the pastor of Marion Baptist Church.

As I have grown older, I still very much enjoy the travel, I just don&rsquo;t enjoy the often long drives. Thankfully, Terry is a good driver particularly when it comes to navigation of strange cities. So we share the driving duties, which is good.\nI have stayed in all types of accommodations as well, and paid from low to high room rates. As a young college student years ago, some buddies and I loaded up in a 1960 Studebaker Lark convertible with bad tires, a little pocket money and even less good sense. We drove all night down to Orlando, Fla. We meant to spend the first night on the beach though we almost spent it in the local jail when we accidentally strayed on to some private beach and set up camp there. The officer who hauled us in wanted desperately to charge us with vagrancy. Fortunately, we had all gotten paid from summer jobs and had a little traveling money. We ended up sleeping in the car for the night then found a room for the next couple of days. It was I think in the neighborhood of $25 per night. A lot of money to us back then, even after we split it, but we did have fun.\nI have also been on the opposite end. I traveled to Chicago once, work-related. My buddy Gregg Harris had a few days off so he came along to help drive. We stayed in a hotel on the &ldquo;Miracle Mile,&rdquo; the stretch where all the huge businesses are headquartered. We were a couple of doors down from Oprah Winfrey&rsquo;s headquarters. It had twin towers on opposite street corners. There were 36 floors in each tower, plus an additional five floors underground, extending beneath the road. It had a full-sized shopping mall, bigger than the Bristol Mall about two floors under the road. Within its confines were nine different bars and, I believe, six restaurants from fast food to fine dining. The room we stayed in was $280 per night, more than most folks&rsquo; monthly mortgage payments at the time in Smyth County, I would guess.\nThrough my travel over the years there has been an increase in competition for the travel dollar. This has generally benefitted travelers. There had been a rise in accommodations and niceties, more free things such as free breakfast buffets or, in some places, free afternoon cocktails in the lounge. With the huge rise in the public&rsquo;s use of computers, laptops, notebooks, iPads, tablets and smart-phones, the demand for access to the Internet grew correspondingly. Upscale hotels and motels rushed to offer high-speed Internet access as a draw, most at no charge.\nThe rooms grew fancier even in the less expensive accommodations. It is a trend I found enjoyable as it meant most of us average folks got a little more bang for our (at least in my own case) very limited travel bucks.\nRecently, I have noticed the trend beginning to change in some ways. The less expensive motels and hotels are still looking for small perks that will draw the public. Even in the older smaller facilities, such items as large screen TVs and free wireless Internet connection (Wi-Fi), are advertised prominently. \nHowever, just a year or so ago, I came along on one of Terry&rsquo;s business trips to this same conference here in Nashville. We stayed in a high-dollar facility, well known as an upscale chain. In some ways it was, in others, not so much. It had a fantastic lobby area, a great free breakfast buffet cooked to the individual guests&rsquo; tastes. On the other hand, the rooms were average at best, and they charged $10 a day for their Internet connection. I was amazed at this fee. Also, while there were two TVs in the suite, neither was the flat-panel type now all the rage in televisions.\nOn this trip to the conference, we were again booked into a more expensive facility. It is also a name brand and usually known for decent rooms with plenty of amenities. Boy was I surprised (and disappointed). This particular place looked great from the outside. It was large, topping out with I think 14 floors. Our room was on the 10th floor. The lobby was nice, not exactly plush but nice.\nThe trouble started with our arrival. The facility offered a discount to the Tennessee Health Association conference attendees so most of them booked rooms there. Terry&rsquo;s boss had reserved three rooms for us, her fellow nurse and himself. Most other groups had done the same. As they arrived, they were being checked in. Terry&rsquo;s friend and her boss rode together and were about an hour behind us as we got away a little earlier than Terry thought she would. \nThe young woman helping us asked to swipe Terry&rsquo;s credit card, and Terry said our reservations had already been paid by the corporation. The lady explained it was for any incidentals we might want while there, and Terry said that was fine. However, just as we were completing our check-in, the manager, at the time a young man looking to be about 24 or 25 and acting rather impressed with his own importance, dropped what he was doing, which was checking in other guests to run over and insist he would need to see the card that was being used to pay the fee. \nWe explained again about the corporate card and that it would be about an hour before the gentleman carrying it and the other member of our party arrived. The manager would have it no other way so we sat in the lobby for roughly an hour before Terry&rsquo;s co-workers arrived. Another group had the same situation, and they were not happy either.\nFinally, we got checked in. We had a ton of luggage with us as we normally do, so I went to get one of the luggage carts to unload the car and transport everything to our room. They had one (yep one) and just as I started for it another guest grabbed it and headed out the door. I asked the manager where the others were, and he gave me a song and dance about it being so busy with people checking in (which it actually was) that they were probably all up on the floors. However, in the entire time I was there, I saw only two of these useful carts. When I told him I needed one, he reluctantly said he would have to send someone to gather them. However, he never did so. I was a tad PO&rsquo;ed at his entire job performance, but Terry asked me to not say anything.\nThe actual accommodations were not what one would expect either. They did have free Internet access, but it was far from the high-speed service listed in their information packets and not very reliable either. And that was it. They had coffee service but only enough for one cup of regular and one of decaf (Yuck.). The room floor looked less than clean and the bed was like sleeping on a plank. Even the TV looked at least 10 years old.\nThere was no refrigerator nor microwave oven, which have become fairly standard in even the less expensive motels and hotels. No free food or drinks of any kind, including none of the complimentary coffee found in most lobbies. And, the food prices were ridiculous. The least expensive menu items for their food service (omelets on the breakfast menu, hamburgers otherwise) ran in excess of $12. Yes, $12 for a hamburger!). And, as I said, that was the very least you could get by paying (plus an automatic tip of 20 percent added to every food purchase). It looks like the big name hotel chains have decided to charge their guests far more for far less in the way of amenities. \nTo make matters even worse, Terry&rsquo;s co-worker was in a room next to ours. She had gone to bed and went quickly to sleep. Fortunately, she had not only locked her door but also slipped the chain latch as extra security as she was by herself. Sometime around 2:30 a.m., she heard a noise and her door came open as far as the chain would allow. Suddenly she heard a man ask, &ldquo;Is there anyone in there.&rdquo; She yelled yes and grabbed for the light; he slammed the door shut. She got up and peeked out but whomever it was had disappeared. Apparently the folks at the desk had a late arrival and issued him keys for the room she had already in, not even realizing it was already occupied. This bothered her quite a bit. \nHowever, all is not lost for the American traveler. On the way home, Terry and I decided to spend a night in the Gatlinburg area, which cut our drive home by about a third. She was in meetings all week and as neither of us could sleep in the bed in our room, we both were a little tired. Besides, we both like the Gatlinburg area. It is really beautiful this time of year. We found a motel online that looked decent and had reasonable prices. It was independently owned. When we arrived, we were totally surprised. The folks were very nice, the room was at least as large, if not larger, than the one in Nashville, and it was spotless, clean as a pin. It has a fantastic bed, really comfortable. It has a refrigerator and microwave, a nice flat-screen large TV. And, yes, it also has a free breakfast buffet. \nAll this for roughly two-thirds the cost of the big chain hotel in Nashville. Long live the independent hotels that still believe in making the traveler feel welcome to woo their business, rather than trying in every possible manner to empty the pockets of their guests.\n\nA freelance journalist, Robert &ldquo;Rocky&rdquo; Cahill writes regularly for the News &amp;amp; Messenger.

It was very strange!\nIt seemed that all of an American&rsquo;s life was involved in copycatting, that is doing what &ldquo;everybody else&rdquo; does. This meant that women wore similar clothes, men all seemed to grow beards even if scanty ones, a great number of men wore bill-caps, commonly called &ldquo;baseball caps,&rdquo; many watched sports or went to their performances just because &ldquo;everybody did it.&rdquo; Worst of all, many watched television just because it was there, not paying attention to the fact that of 500 programs, perhaps two had enough value to be watched and with the news or so-called news, one could pick whatever version one wanted because the morons who ran most of the television news programs, plumped their own curious beliefs on the public. But all that was not as dangerous as the main human American fault!\nThat thing was an acceptance for males and females that (1) One should retire and stop working at age 65 and then (2) one should die in about seven or eight or ten years after that! It was the custom to so retire and so die!\nPiney believed that if a national American habit could be induced that made the average American believe that he or she were entitled to, say, 80 years of work and 100 years of life, not 65 to 75 as they believe, then the death rate would raise itself automatically to (if not 100) to nearly that and certainly a higher rate for men and women than the present ones.\nThe prevalence of killing diseases of course plays a great role in American deaths, but those can with good medical treatment and early warnings be somewhat avoided. Americans must learn to think health and be prompt in stalling health problems! Mainly, Piney and She thought, the fact of expecting a long life would add years to anybody&rsquo;s existence!\n Proper eating habits, proper exercise, avoidance of argumentative situations, ignoring government idiocies, and other relaxations would mean much. \nLife has been pretty much the same for the world&rsquo;s people for 5,000 years. Americans have had more opportunities than anyone else in the world in the last 200 years, barring their wars. But Piney thought, no one and no system has taught them to work toward and anticipate a long and happy old age. Rather, it seems a lot of the ones approaching being &ldquo;aged&rdquo; made preparations for demise, not a happy and glorious planning for the last period of your life.\n The kingposts of a long happy life were simple: seek good health, avoid controversy, pay no attention to government idiocy and its adversities, live as close to the land as you can, relax, look to your kids, grandkids and friends, and above all, look about you. Don&rsquo;t you see that our country can be a happy place, all the way to age 100, if you want it to be and plan it to be?

The candidates in the series are those on record in the office of the county&rsquo;s voter registrar as having filed to run. Here challenger Beecher H. Perry shares his views. \n\nRepublican challenger Beecher H. Perry lives at 426 Prater Lane, Marion.\n\nWhy are you seeking election/reelection?\nI seek the office of sheriff because I feel that over the past few years our law enforcement community has lost the respect and confidence of the public, due to the misconduct of a few. I feel that the people of Smyth County deserve a Sheriff&rsquo;s Dept. that is much more transparent and one that is more accountable to the people they serve.\n\nWhat do you see as your qualifications to hold public office?\nI served as a Virginia Game Warden for 13 years. After completing my basic training at the State Police Academy I was stationed in Sugar Grove. I completed one week of in-service training each year during my tenure. I completed a three-month course at VPA and have attended numerous seminars conducted by the FBI. I also served one term on WCC&rsquo;s Law Enforcement Advisory Board. I feel my experiences and background makes me uniquely qualified for the job.\n\nWhat philosophy will guide your interaction with the public on a daily basis?\nI believe in strong, effective law enforcement accomplished in a fair, compassionate, and respectful manner. If elected Sheriff, I will operate a Department that is very open and responsive to the needs and concerns of all citizens. I would assure the public that no person, regardless of position or status, would be treated any different than the common person.\n\nWhat changes are needed in the sheriff&rsquo;s office, and how would you address them?\nThe Sheriff&rsquo;s Office should nurture a closer relationship with the general public. I would establish a Citizens Committee, made up of people throughout the county, and listen to their concerns and advice.\nThe Sheriff&rsquo;s Office should strive for a much closer working relationship with all the state and local police, fire, and rescue personnel. I would communicate with all the other agencies regularly and would commit my Dept. to ensure such a relationship existed.\nThe Sheriff&rsquo;s Office should utilize more vehicular patrols throughout the county. I would divide the county into patrol zones, and assign deputies to random patrols. These patrols are especially important in the more rural area of our county. I believe that law enforcement visibility serves as a great deterrent to criminal activity.\n\nLooking at local crime, what trends concern you most, how will you respond, and what trends can be seen as positive?\nI see illegal drug use by our youth and children as the most concerning trend. Our children are being exposed to the drug culture at a very young age. I would advocate for much harsher punishment of drug dealers and much more vigorous efforts to educate our children and parents. I applaud the DARE program and I would seek to streamline and expand this program. I would approach our local churches throughout the county, seeking their involvement and assistance in implementing such programs for their youth groups. Such groups within churches would make it easier to involve the parents, which I believe would be very positive. I would also focus more resources toward the apprehension of those who are supplying the drug dealers with prescription drugs and drugs such as cocaine and heroin. To kill a rattlesnake you must cut off its head, not the rattles on the tail.\n\nWhat one thing would you say to a voter who is undecided headed to the polls Nov. 8?\nI would simply implore the voters to contemplate the numerous law enforcement scandals that have occurred in the not so distant past. I would submit to the voters that law enforcement personnel should be held to a much higher standard than the ordinary person, and they should be held accountable for their actions. I would assure the voters that if elected Sheriff, every employee would meet the criteria. No more Deputy A and Deputy B.\nI believe it is time to &ldquo;Choose Change.&rdquo; I trust the voters good judgment in electing their next Sheriff and I am proud to provide a &ldquo;Choice for Change.&rdquo;', '2011-10-15T22:44:26+02:00', '', 'election 2011 sheriff beecher perry smyth county news &amp messenger way multi week series profiles candidates local public offices including candidates county sheriff \nbased questionnaires developed offices candidates running responses question answer format profiles reveal candidates’ words candidates series record office county’s voter registrar having filed run challenger beecher h perry shares views \n\nthe smyth county news &amp messenger way multi week series profiles candidates local public offices including candidates county sheriff \nbased questionnaires developed offices candidates running responses question answer format profiles reveal candidates’ words candidates series record office county’s voter registrar having filed run challenger beecher h perry shares views \n\nrepublican challenger beecher h perry lives 426 prater lane marion\n\nwhy seeking seek office sheriff i feel past years law enforcement community lost respect confidence public misconduct i feel people smyth county deserve sheriff’s dept transparent accountable people serve\n\nwhat qualifications hold public office\ni served virginia game warden 13 years completing basic training state police academy i stationed sugar grove i completed week service training year tenure i completed month course vpa attended numerous seminars conducted fbi i served term wcc’s law enforcement advisory board i feel experiences background makes uniquely qualified job\n\nwhat philosophy guide interaction public daily basis\ni believe strong effective law enforcement accomplished fair compassionate respectful manner elected sheriff i operate department open responsive needs concerns citizens i assure public person regardless position status treated different common person\n\nwhat changes needed sheriff’s office address them\nthe sheriff’s office nurture closer relationship general public i establish citizens committee people county listen concerns advice\nthe sheriff’s office strive closer working relationship state local police rescue personnel i communicate agencies regularly commit dept ensure relationship existed\nthe sheriff’s office utilize vehicular patrols county i divide county patrol zones assign deputies random patrols patrols especially rural area county i believe law enforcement visibility serves great deterrent criminal activity\n\nlooking local crime trends concern respond trends seen positive\ni illegal drug use youth children concerning trend children exposed drug culture young age i advocate harsher punishment drug dealers vigorous efforts educate children parents i applaud dare program i seek streamline expand program i approach local churches county seeking involvement assistance implementing programs youth groups groups churches make easier involve parents i believe positive i focus resources apprehension supplying drug dealers prescription drugs drugs cocaine heroin kill rattlesnake cut head rattles tail\n\nwhat thing say voter undecided headed polls nov 8\ni simply implore voters contemplate numerous law enforcement scandals occurred distant past i submit voters law enforcement personnel held higher standard ordinary person held accountable actions i assure voters elected sheriff employee meet criteria deputy deputy b\ni believe time “choose changeâ€ i trust voters good judgment electing sheriff i proud provide “choice changeâ€');

Having grown up in Smyth County, I look forward to continuing to make Smyth County a safe and secure environment to raise our children and grandchildren.\n\nWhat do you see as your qualifications to hold public office?\nI feel the citizens of Smyth County need a sheriff with the law enforcement experience to deal with the many situations that arise daily. In my 39 years of experience, I have served as jailor, road deputy, investigator and sheriff. In working through the ranks, I have seen and followed the changes Smyth County has gone through. Laws and procedures change yearly and I have worked to ensure myself and the sheriff&rsquo;s office kept up with ever changing legal issues. Having 39 years of experience and training gives me the capability of better serving the needs of Smyth County.\n\nWhat philosophy will guide your interaction with the public on a daily basis?\nMy philosophy is I want to treat others and I would like to be treated. This is why I believe we can work together to make Smyth County a safer place to live. I have an open door policy and I feel I have a good working relationship with the citizens I proudly serve. It is my belief that you also have to have a good working relationship with other law enforcement agencies in Smyth County and the surrounding counties to keep Smyth Countians safe and secure.\n\nWhat changes are needed in the sheriff&rsquo;s office, and how would you address them?\nThe accomplishments I have made as sheriff to better serve Smyth County are:\nâ— Sheriff&rsquo;s Emergency Response Team for high risk calls.\nâ— Computer systems in all patrol vehicles for faster response times and quicker information to officers and citizens in the field.\nâ— Have three investigators who have certified from the State Forensic Academy\nâ— Sheriff and three of his officers are sworn with the U.S. Marshal agency to help in major crimes.\nâ— Project Lifesaver to help track people who have a tendency to wander from their residence.\nâ— School Resource Officers in our schools.\nâ— DARE program in our schools.\nâ— Neighborhood Watch program in our communities.\nâ— Operation Safety program for our elderly who live alone.\nâ— Litter program with inmates to help keep our country roadways clean.\nâ— Narcotics Enforcement Unit with Narcotics K9 Unit.\nâ— Missing/wanted persons K9 Unit.\nâ— Tactical Medical Unit.\nâ— Crime Scene Unit and Mobile Command Unit.\nâ— Good working relationship with commonwealth&rsquo;s attorney&rsquo;s office.\nâ— Good working relationship with sheriffs&rsquo; offices in surrounding counties.\nâ— Good working relationship with all emergency and law enforcement agencies.\nâ— Open door policy to listen to the concerns of citizens of Smyth County.\nâ—Have maintained and expanded the the senior citizens watch programs to make seniors aware of scams, special programs and updates.\nâ— Have arrested major drug dealers allowing for large drug seizures, drugs that won&rsquo;t make it into our schools and communities. Assets and money seized from these drug dealers have been recycled into our budget to save tax money.\nAs sheriff, I would like to expand on these programs and training. Also, with technology ever evolving, I would implement more technology based training. With internet based crimes, it requires extensive knowledge of computers and website navigation. It is important to have highly trained and experienced officers in all fields of crimes which take extensive training and time.\n\nLooking at local crime, what trends concern you most, how will you respond, and what trends can be seen as positive?\nWith the ever changing economic times, property and drug crimes seem to be on the rise. We are increasing patrols to assist in both of these areas. We are seeing criminals from surrounding areas coming into Smyth County. Deputies constantly are receiving training in investigation techniques to assist them with tools to work cases to a successful conclusion. We are working closely with state and federal agencies to combat the drug situation, to assist us not only in manpower but also money made available to aid investigations. Unfortunately, the rise in drug use is a national problem and touches people from all walks of life. Sheriffs are working with legislatures, prosecutors, and mental health professionals to look for answers to combat the use of narcotics.\n\nWhat one thing would you say to a voter who is undecided headed to the polls Nov. 8?\nI would ask for their vote and support on Nov. 8. I would ask that they would vote for the candidate they have:\nâ— the most confidence in to perform the duties of sheriff.\nâ— the most confidence in to guide the law enforcement officers into the future.\nâ— the most confidence in the level of experience the candidate has that would make him successful in leading investigative teams, patrol deputies, court security personnel, special response teams and every aspect of leadership required of the sheriff of Smyth County.\nI have 39 years of law enforcement experience and training, and have evolved with the changes in laws and procedures.

The journey that has since taken him around the world also brought the &ldquo;Singing Policeman&rdquo; to Marion in April 2008. He won hearts with his music and message, but apparently the community also earned a special place in the internationally renowned tenor&rsquo;s heart.\nThis Sunday, Oct. 16, he is returning to Smyth County to present a free concert at First United Methodist Church in downtown Marion. A love offering will be taken at the 7 p.m. concert to help raise money for the church&rsquo;s food pantry.\nDuring the concert, Sally Moorer, FUMC&rsquo;s Outreach Committee chairperson, said Rodriquez will honor emergency first responders and military service personnel. He will also perform inspirational music.\nMoorer is struck by Rodriquez&rsquo;s apparent fondness for Smyth County and his excitement to return. She said he has often spoken of the people&rsquo;s kindness. Moorer said his manager told her that Rodriquez has spoken so highly of Smyth County that he now wants to visit. \n&ldquo;We know we have a wonderful county, but when someone world renowned is so attached&hellip; it really makes you feel proud,&rdquo; Moorer said.\nMoorer said when she first heard Rodriquez sing, his &ldquo;voice was like an angel&rsquo;s.&rdquo;\nWhen Rodriquez sang &ldquo;God Bless America&rdquo; at a Christian outreach celebration in 2008, he brought the crowd gathered in Marion Senior High&rsquo;s stadium to its feet.\nAt that time, Rodriquez spoke briefly of being at Ground Zero when the Trade Towers fell and the loss of friends. He urged the audience to find their gifts from God. The one-time NYPD officer said gifts come in many forms, including compassion, a listening ear and kindness. &ldquo;They (the gifts) belong to those with whom we share them,&rdquo; said Rodriguez.&amp;nbsp; \nRodriguez has sung for most of his life but it was as a NYPD police officer that his talent became better known. He sang with the department&rsquo;s ceremonial unit.&amp;nbsp; \nRodriquez&rsquo;s wife, Marla Kavanaugh, also a singer, and their daughter will accompany him to Marion.\n&ldquo;We&rsquo;re so grateful to have such a friendship with them&hellip;. We&rsquo;re trying to get them to move here,&rdquo; Moorer said. \nA love offering to be taken at the concert will benefit FUMC&rsquo;s food pantry, which was established earlier this year. Moorer said it&rsquo;s been especially encouraging to see the support the pantry has received in the community.\nThe pantry had to cancel one&rsquo;s month&rsquo;s food delivery this summer when the Feeding America Food Bank in Abingdon didn&rsquo;t have supplies available.\nFUMC Pastor Jonathan Jonas said a number of supporters have since stepped forward.\n&ldquo;We&rsquo;re so grateful to the Marion Walmart for collecting food&hellip; over the past few weeks. They had a large collection box for food donations at the store&rsquo;s main entrance/exit, and they also offered shoppers the opportunity to purchase extra food items for the food pantry at the registers. They really stepped forward to help feed our community with that effort.&rdquo;\n&ldquo;During the summer,&rdquo; Jonas said, &ldquo;we received a contribution of $1,000 worth of food from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints&rsquo; Bishops&rsquo; Storehouse. That contribution came at a great time, because we received it just when the Feeding America Food Bank&hellip; was experiencing a food crunch.&rdquo;\nThe pastor also said, &ldquo;Other individuals and churches in the community have made monetary contributions and have volunteered their time to ensure that we could offer the food pantry on the third Thursday of each month.&rdquo;\nAccording to Jonas, on average the pantry is assisting about 175 households per month, and according to church records, the average household size is three people, which means the pantry is serving approximately 525 people per month.\nMoorer reflected, &ldquo;It warms your heart to be there working and see the smiles on people&rsquo;s faces. You hope you&rsquo;re helping.&rdquo;\nOn Monday, Rodriquez will share his personal journey of faith and hope in a program of inspirational favorites at Emory &amp;amp; Henry&rsquo;s Memorial Chapel, starting at 7:30 p.m. There is no admission fee for this event.\n\nsportern@wythenews.com | 783-5121', '2011-10-15T22:44:28+02:00', '', '‘singing policeman’ return marion new york city policeman 9/11 daniel rodriguez used voice offer comfort grieving families dozens funerals lift nation rendition “god bless americaâ€ televised ceremony terrorist attacks journey taken world brought “singing policemanâ€ marion april 2008 won hearts music message apparently community earned special place internationally renowned tenor’s heart\n\nby stephanie porter nichols\nstaff\n\na new york city policeman 9/11 daniel rodriguez used voice offer comfort grieving families dozens funerals lift nation rendition “god bless americaâ€ televised ceremony terrorist attacks journey taken world brought “singing policemanâ€ marion april 2008 won hearts music message apparently community earned special place internationally renowned tenor’s heart\nthis sunday oct 16 returning smyth county present free concert united methodist church downtown marion love offering taken 7 pm concert help raise money church’s food pantry\nduring concert sally moorer fumc’s outreach committee chairperson said rodriquez honor emergency responders military service personnel perform inspirational music\nmoorer struck rodriquez’s apparent fondness smyth county excitement return said spoken people’s kindness moorer said manager told rodriquez spoken highly smyth county wants visit \n“we know wonderful county world renowned attached… really makes feel proudâ€ moorer said\nmoorer said heard rodriquez sing “voice like angel’sâ€\nwhen rodriquez “god bless americaâ€ christian outreach celebration 2008 brought crowd gathered marion senior high’s stadium feet\nat time rodriquez spoke briefly ground zero trade towers fell loss friends urged audience gifts god time nypd officer said gifts come forms including compassion listening ear kindness “they gifts belong share themâ€ said rodriguez \nrodriguez sung life nypd police officer talent better known department’s ceremonial unit \nrodriquez’s wife marla kavanaugh singer daughter accompany marion\n“we’re grateful friendship them… we’re trying hereâ€ moorer said \na love offering taken concert benefit fumc’s food pantry established earlier year moorer said it’s especially encouraging support pantry received community\nthe pantry cancel one’s month’s food delivery summer feeding america food bank abingdon didn’t supplies available\nfumc pastor jonathan jonas said number supporters stepped forward\n“we’re grateful marion walmart collecting food… past weeks large collection box food donations store’s main entrance/exit offered shoppers opportunity purchase extra food items food pantry registers really stepped forward help feed community effortâ€\n“during summerâ€ jonas said “we received contribution $1000 worth food church jesus christ day saints’ bishops’ storehouse contribution came great time received just feeding america food bank… experiencing food crunchâ€\nthe pastor said “other individuals churches community monetary contributions volunteered time ensure offer food pantry thursday monthâ€\naccording jonas average pantry assisting 175 households month according church records average household size people means pantry serving approximately 525 people month\nmoorer reflected “it warms heart working smiles people’s faces hope you’re helpingâ€\non monday rodriquez share personal journey faith hope program inspirational favorites emory &amp henry’s memorial chapel starting 730 pm admission fee | 783 5121');
