Martha recommends the necessity mess, potato bargain, and other tasty regional foods that won&#039;t break the bank. Plus, what&#039;s a doomaflatchie? And what do you have to do before you rest on your laurels? Grant and Martha share idioms, proverbs, and paraprosdokians, those sayings that take a sudden, unexpected turn. Plus cryptic crosswords, graffiti slang, and new ways to read your favorite magazines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dining on a budget? Just whip up some necessity mess or a potato bargain. That&#039;s a pork, onion, and potato stew popular in Eastern Massachusetts. Or how about some Georgia ice cream? It&#039;s a North Florida term for grits. Martha shares a generous serving of fun food names from the Dictionary of American Regional English. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://dare.wisc.edu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/oDZcJQ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;ve accomplished something, go ahead and rest on your laurels. Martha traces this idiom back to Ancient Greece, where victors were crowned with a wreath of bay leaves from the bay laurel tree. In the 16th Century, to retire on one&#039;s laurels referred to &quot;resting after an accomplishment.&quot; Like many inherited idioms, it&#039;s often said today with a tongue in one&#039;s cheek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old Brooklyn Dodger Roy Campanella really knew how to set the soup outside! A baseball fan recalls this overheard phrase from a game in the 60s between the Cardinals and the Dodgers, when Campy smacked one over the fence. Grant estimates that this usage of soup comes from the old slang term for nitrous oxide, a component in souping up cars. Over time, soup came to refer to any enhanced display of muscle or strength. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you bring to a pitch-in? An Indiana transplant shares this newly acquired term for a potluck dinner. Martha points out that the Dictionary of American Regional English has a map showing the distribution of the term, and it&#039;s limited almost exclusively to Indiana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If something&#039;s a peach out of reach, it&#039;s something lovely that you want but just can&#039;t have. A listener shares this and other idioms from the American South.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a game of cryptic crossword clues called Double Definition. For example, if the clue is &quot;trim a tree,&quot; the answer is &quot;spruce.&quot; Or try this one: &quot;crazy flying mammals.&quot; Did you come up with &quot;bats&quot;? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does it mean to grok the data? A listener from the medical device business wonders about the techie word grok, which first popped up in Robert Heinlein&#039;s 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/qSPABU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To grok data means to understand all the information you&#039;re looking at. Grant also mentions Jeff Prucher&#039;s Brave New Words, a dictionary of science fiction terms that have made their way into the English language. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/ng2QdG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York seems to have a doguero on every street corner. Grant shares this Spanglish term for &quot;a hot dog vendor.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s it called when saying becomes sayin&#039;? It&#039;s not a trick question; it&#039;s simply called an abbreviation. Grant and Martha settle an English major&#039;s confusion about the possibility of a trickier term. With words like o&#039;er, a shortening of over, the apostrophe can also be called an apologetic apostrophe, but it&#039;s still just an abbreviation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old Yiddish word bupkis, referring to something of little or no value, has of late been split up for dramatic effect. As in, that&#039;s worth all of a bup and a kis!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s a doomaflatchie? A listener shares this alternate for doohickie, thingamajig, doodad, or any other one of those whatchamacalits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can listen to the Tim McGraw song about his doomaflatchie here.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;http://tinyurl.com/3aq4hp6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I agreed with you, we&#039;d both be wrong.

Grant shares some great ways Twitter has enabled the spread of long essays from sources like The Atlantic and Wired. In addition, services like Readability and Instapaper have streamlined the distribution of articles to our myriad devices. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/aeqNxp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/aAVXT4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/dADCNG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes some work for a writer to go all city--a graffiti writer, that is. An art supplies dealer from Dallas shares some vocabulary from the world of street art. For example, the old act of photographing trains from benches gave birth to the term benching, and the act of tagging or doing graffiti is also known as bombing. Grant discusses the related term going all city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/cutX0r&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://abcn.ws/qIRs0R&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://tinyurl.com/3wfeq6r&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone knows about Tang as that orange kick in a glass, but could it also be an entree? A listener from Plano, Texas, found an elderly relative&#039;s plan for family meals from 1947, which lists tang with molasses as a main course. If you&#039;ve heard of tang the food, shoot us a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a meeting gets pushed back, does it get postponed to a later time or rescheduled for a sooner one? Grant explains that push back is generally understood to mean &quot;reschedule for a later date,&quot; but Martha recounts a scenario where the opposite definition caused a debacle with deadlines. As always, when in doubt, seek clarification. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

INSERT INTO `items1` VALUES (1697, 'The College Slang Party - 3 October 2011', 'http://feeds.waywordradio.org/~r/awwwpodcast/~3/gucFhSg2Wko/the-college-slang-party-3-october-2011', '&lt;p&gt;SUMMARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever been to an ABC party? How about a darty? The hosts discuss these and other slang terms heard around campus. They also talk about mulligrubs and collywobbles, a puzzle for celebrity couples, potions that make childbirth a pleasure, and a check-up on old spelling bee champs. And to set the record straight, a preposition as a sentence-ender is something up with which we shall most definitely put!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you wear to an ABC party? Hint: the letters stand for &quot;Anything But Clothes.&quot; Any guesses what you&#039;d wear to a tight-and-bright party? Martha gives a taste of the college party terminology from a slang collection compiled by Penn State student Emily Grier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/qpxAB0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you left hanging by the invitation Do you want to come with?&amp;nbsp; A Milwaukee native is proud of this regionalism, which means &quot;Do you want to come along?&quot; Grant explains that it may derive from the German verb mitkommen, a single word that literally means to &quot;come with.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If what you&#039;re going to say isn&#039;t more beautiful than silence, don&#039;t say it. Martha shares this proverb, translated from the original Arabic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you suffer from restless nights of tossing and turning, you may have a case of the mollycobwobbles. A listener shares this hand-me-down term from her grandmother. Grant explains she may well have combined two English terms dating about 150 years back: mulligrubs and collywobbles. The aptly named affliction usually consisted of the jitters, the shakes, or even the yips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/p4RNrX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That little basket that your strawberries and blueberries come in? It&#039;s called a punnet. Just so you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska addles our brains with a puzzle called Odd Couples. See if you can figure out these strange celebrity pairings who share last names. &quot;Anyone? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller&quot; and &quot;Bueller is Bueller is Bueller,&quot; for example, forms the odd couple of Ben and Gertrude Stein. And who else could hit home runs in the bedroom like Babe and Dr. Ruth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for something that curls your hair, cleans your teeth, and makes childbirth a pleasure? A listener&#039;s mother used that saying in reference to every miracle potion from WD-40 to vinegar. Grant explains that the first known version of this in print dates back to 1919 in Mrs. Lucretia Graves&#039; Exits from the Pearly Gates, where the advertisements for opium-type substances had less cheek and more sincerity. Grant notes that Google Books has a wealth of examples of old ads that took the saying and used even more elaborate versions to promote everything from tequila to hypnosis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/p41EsZ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is boughten a past tense form of to buy? Grant gives his blessing to its use in informal conversation, but when it comes to formal writing, the word you want is bought. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the college kids up to these days? Apparently, they&#039;re busy at darties, or &quot;day parties.&quot; Martha shares this collegiate portmanteau from Emily Grier&#039;s list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can sentences end with a preposition? Yes! Grant assures a listener that all experts, including the most conservative of linguists and lexicographers, agree that a preposition as the last word in a sentence is something up with which we shall put.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/dWii20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell your Mom the sterling silver stud above your lip isn&#039;t &quot;that dumb thing.&quot; It&#039;s called a Monroe piercing, in honor of Marilyn&#039;s famed beauty mark. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the Spanish language, among others, has its quirks and foreignisms, the English language really can&#039;t be touched when it comes to complicated and irregular spelling. Thus, spelling bees are primarily an English-language phenomenon. Grant mentions a few &quot;where are they now?&quot; stories about past Scripps Bee winners. The common thread? If these kids had the discipline to compete in such a high-pressure event, they tend to carry those traits beyond the spelling arena and into their successes later in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://abcn.ws/mlEtro&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://ti.me/oz9OjK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If something is mathematical, is it cool? According to a mother of two middle-schoolers, that&#039;s exactly what it&#039;s come to mean among the younger set. Then again, irony is also pretty hip. But could her kids be using a piece of ironic slang with confused sincerity? Ahh! Meta-irony! So cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/n1V8Ff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone&#039;s balloon has lost its string, it means &quot;they&#039;ve come unmoored&quot;. Something unusual or odd has come about in their character. Patrice Evans used the illustration in his description of Tracy Morgan in an article for Grantland (no relation to our show&#039;s co-host).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://es.pn/jyvuej&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks he&#039;s a wit, and he&#039;s half right. Though some might attribute the quote to Shakespeare, it&#039;s nowhere to be found in the concordances. Grant explains how many of these witticisms have been tumbled about by old newspaper columnists, humorists, and vaudeville performers. Though their origins are muddled, they&#039;re still a joy to hear and say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, can a sentence begin with the word so? Which ones? So is oftentimes used in place of therefore to conclude an explanation, but more people are using it as a general sentence-starter, in the same vein as well. Grant notes that while seemingly misused language may be grating to the ear, it&#039;s more productive not to peeve about it, but instead to record it and add it to the rest of the data we collect about our language. Ultimately, we learn about each other by doing so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/o2rtSQ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares a British article that begins, &quot;Boffins have discovered a strange new type of spongy mushroom.&quot; But what, you may ask, is a boffin? The word boffin denotes an intellectual with a specific expertise and general lack of social aptitude. Grant adds anorak to the list of terms for nerds with minimal aptitude for cocktail-party conversations. Here&#039;s to you, boffins and anoraks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/iyly1W&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!

INSERT INTO `items1` VALUES (1698, 'Him and I or Him and Me - 26 September 2011', 'http://feeds.waywordradio.org/~r/awwwpodcast/~3/z2QOcd9Zv8Q/him-and-i-or-him-and-me-rebroadcast-26-september-2011', '&lt;p&gt;SUMMARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone offered you a croaker with an old man&#039;s face, would you accept? You should! Croaker is a slang term for &quot;hundred dollar bill.&quot; And did you ever wonder why we turn UP the A.C. to bring the temperature down? Grant and Martha ponder that question. Plus, the tricky debate over me vs. I, the byzantine story behind the word byzantine, whether paper toweling is a real noun, and a couple of name games. Also, Grant recommends some dictionaries and teaching guides for the new school year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever know somebody whose name makes you do a double-take, like a family physician named Dr. Hurt? An Albany, N.Y. listener shares a game of more positive aptronyms. For example, what do you name your daughter if you want her to be a lawyer? How about &quot;Sue&quot;? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you use paper towels or paper towelling? While a listener insists her husband&#039;s wrong for his use of paper towelling, Grant explains how certain nouns take a gerund ending. For example, clothes derive from clothing, and the side of a house adorns siding. In the same way, why not tear a paper towel off a roll of paper towelling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A veteran broadcaster recalls a brilliant example of sesquipedalian language. Fifty years ago, he stubbed his foot on the beach and a group of college boys told him to go to his parents and get an anatomical juxtaposition of the orbicular ors muscles in the state of contraction on the unilateral calcification of the carbuncular metatarsal. Go get, in other words, &quot;a kiss on the foot.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a Grant and Martha version of The Odd Man Out Game, wherein one term doesn&#039;t belong in the list of four. Take Martha, Irving, Denzel, and Booker. Which one doesn&#039;t fit? It&#039;s Irving, because &quot;Washington&quot; is his first name, not his last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does turning up the A.C. make a room cooler or warmer? A listener grapples with multiple meanings of the word &quot;up.&quot; Martha suggests saying, &quot;Turn up the air conditioning,&quot; not &quot;turn up the air conditioner,&quot; just as you say &quot;turn up the heat,&quot; not &quot;turn up&quot; the heater. Grant observes that the English language is imperfect, and we often have to clarify our statements to make sure people understand us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to proper grammar, &quot;Where you at?&quot; ain&#039;t where it&#039;s at. A mother is concerned that her child will pick up such malapropisms as &quot;Where you at?&quot; and &quot;My mother and me went to the store.&quot; Grant argues that the redundant &quot;at&quot; has become such a part of our colloquial speech that it isn&#039;t to be chided in informal usage. However, for those formative years of language learning, Grant recommends the book Learner English by Michael Swan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/learningles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you name your baby if you want her to become a bank teller? &quot;Penny.&quot; And if it&#039;s a boy? Try &quot;Bill.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone offered you a croaker with an old man&#039;s face, would you take it? Here&#039;s a hint: the face belongs to Benjamin Franklin. A Louisiana native shares this rare term for &quot; a hundred dollar bill.&quot; Grant suspects that it may derive from the French verb croquer, meaning, &quot;to be crisp.&quot; It&#039;s mostly used in informal settings, such as horse tracks and neighbor-to-neighbor transactions. What terms do you use for the Benjamins? Here&#039;s a whole stash. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/croakersnmore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;re looking for dictionary recommendations, you&#039;ve tuned to the right program! For comprehensive, desk-dwelling dictionaries, Grant likes the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 6th Edition, a two-volume set, and the brand-new American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th edition, which contains original etymologies, illustrations, and plenty of guides and charts. The latter publication took nearly ten years to complete, and its authority is worth the investment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://tinyurl.com/3c9dkfb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://tinyurl.com/yvs5cb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a minister asked, &quot;Who gives this woman to be married?&quot; the father regrettably answered, &quot;Her mother and me.&quot; Well, he regretted it after his daughters ribbed him about his improper grammar--specifically, his disregard for the implied verb. As in, &quot;My wife and I do give this young woman to be married.&quot; Grant and Martha confirm that the implied verb is indeed what seals the deal. Alas, the &quot;me vs. I&quot; squabbles continue!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/9IC2uZ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A physician heard a broadcaster use the term byzantine to describe the current health care system, and wonders about the origin of this adjective. Martha notes that the Byzantine Empire, which began in the 4th Century A.D., was notable for its convoluted system of government officials and titled nobility. Additionally, Byzantine art is known for its intricacies and elaborate details. Thus, the word has come to refer to anything exceptionally complicated or intricate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you name your future ophthalmologist? &quot;Iris&quot;! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a married couple moves because one spouse is relocated for work, is it correct to say the other spouse following them? A listener wonders about the implications of the term &quot;follow,&quot; and how that dynamic works in today&#039;s day and age. Married couples often view themselves as a team of two equals, and sometimes words like &quot;follow&quot; can connote unintended ideas of subservience. Grant and Martha point out that, as relationship dynamics change, so does our language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;d like your son to become a statistician, Martha suggests naming him . . . wait for it&amp;nbsp; . . . &quot;Norm&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!

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;&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;&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;&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;&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;&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;&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;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cjr.org/language_corner/&lt;br /&gt;&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;&lt;br /&gt;http://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/after-deadline/&lt;br /&gt;&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;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/g4QwP0&lt;br /&gt;&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;&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;&lt;br /&gt;http://thepioneerwoman.com/homeschooling/2010/10/pulchritude/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it grammatically correct for a high school football team to call itself the Vanguards?

Also, overegging the pudding, what it means to be gobsmacked, the difference between who and whom, apostrophe placement, how to pronounce coup de grace, and the embarrassing results when a smartphone mistakenly autocorrects text messages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the classic children&#039;s story &quot;Where the Wild Thongs Are&quot;? (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!

Grant explains that regardless of its status, &quot;irregardless&quot; is needlessly redundant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phrase oh, my goodness may be a dated way to express surprise or disbelief.&amp;nbsp; A listener asks for a contemporary replacement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multiple modals, as in the phrase &quot;I thought y&#039;all may would have some more of them,&quot; have their own logic and are well understood by many in the American South.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Database of Multiple Modals compiled by Paul Reed and Michael Montgomery is here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://casdemo.cas.sc.edu/modals_d/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you call someone a card, it means they&#039;re funny or quick-witted.&amp;nbsp; Grant and Martha discuss the metaphors inspired by the language of playing cards. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you serve to a lawyer coming to dinner?&amp;nbsp; A listener shares her riddle for the &quot;What Would You Serve&quot; game?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you been asked to trip the light fantastic?&amp;nbsp; This phrase, meaning &quot;dance the night away&quot;, dates back to a poem by John Milton from 1640.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares the German slang term niveaulimbo, meaning &quot;a limbo of standards&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Why is the word pound abbreviated lb.?&amp;nbsp; A listener from Tijuana, Mex., learns that the answer relates to his native Spanish as well as the Latin term for &quot;weighing.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha reads a love sonnet by the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.

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.

An Appleton, Wis., woman has fond memories of raw ground round steak on top of rye bread, topped with salt, pepper, and onion. She wonders if it&#039;s a regional dish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone points out the blindingly obvious, a listener might respond with Duh! There are other options, too, including No duh!, Doy!, and Der! Grant creates an online survey to find out which terms people tend to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;re not yet old enough to understand homophones, you can wind up with some funny misunderstandings. Martha shares a listener&#039;s story about avoiding cotton candy as a child, fearing that it was literally made of cotton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a quiz based on descriptions of characters in novels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something that&#039;s repaired in a makeshift, haphazard fashion, is said to be jury-rigged.

William Faulkner and Anthony Trollope toiled as postal clerks. Zora Neal Hurston trained as an anthropologist. Vladimir Nabokov was a lepidopterist who curated a butterfly exhibit at Harvard.

Was it really named in honor of aviator Charles Lindbergh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man in Huntington Beach, Ca., ponders his teenager&#039;s frequent use of the words fail and epic fail. Grant explains what this has to do with linguistic bleaching, and discusses some funny fails on failblog.org.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://failblog.org/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha has an example of a linguistic false friend: In Latvian, the word vista means &quot;chicken.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a recent episode of &quot;Mad Men,&quot; a character said &quot;keep me in the loop.&quot; Was that phrase really around in the 1960s? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone knows old proverbs, but what about modern ones? Here&#039;s an aphorism attributed to William Gibson: &quot;The future is already here. It&#039;s just not evenly distributed.&quot; The hosts discuss some others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a San Diego man used the term Eskimo kiss with his preschooler, they both wondered about its origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Indiana woman is puzzled about a phrase in the old western song, &quot;I Ride An Old Paint&quot;: &quot;I&#039;m goin&#039; to Montana to throw the houlihan.&quot; What&#039;s a houlihan?

What misunderstandings do you remember? Maybe you thought cat burglars stole only cats, or that you might be swept out to sea by the undertoad? The hosts discuss childhood misunderstandings about language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some business owners give their establishments names like &quot;Ye Olde Coffee Shoppe.&quot; What most people don&#039;t realize is that the letter Y in this case is a vestige of a letter we no longer use, and has a &quot;th&quot; sound.

The bee&#039;s knees, a phrase meaning &quot;cool&quot; or &quot;great,&quot; dates back to the flapper era of the 1920s. It relates to an old definition of the word &quot;cute,&quot; referring to something &quot;small and nicely formed.&quot; The knees of a bee are just that, after all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/bees-knees&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bartender wonders about the origin of the term jockey box. In his world, a jockey box is a &quot;metal container for ice.&quot; However, in some parts of the western U.S., jockey box means &quot;the glove compartment of a car,&quot; and much earlier, the term referred to boxes attached to the side of chuck wagon for holding feed or water. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The caller also shares another bit of bartending slang, the so-called mat shot or Matt Dillon. It&#039;s a glass of whatever liquor collects on the rubber mat behind the bar, which some enterprising patrons order as a prank or a test of a strong stomach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hosts discuss an email from a listener in Romania. His problem is that he learned English in the Southern U.S., but after going back home to where a British English is taught, people are having a hard time understanding his accent. Where we learn a language plays a big role in how we speak it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a game called Centricity, emphasis on the &quot;city.&quot; For example, &quot;Mickey ate all the fruit, leaving Minneapolis.&quot; And as George H.W. Bush said to George W. Bush, &quot;You can be president Tucson.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has your boss ever used the expression Let&#039;s put the moose on the table? This management buzzphrase, meaning &quot;let&#039;s address the problem everyone&#039;s been avoiding,&quot; is relatively new, showing up in print around the early 1990s. The phrase pops up in books by former Eli Lilly CEO Randall Tobias and management guru Jim Clemmer. In Clemmer&#039;s book Moose on the Table, he tells a possible origin tale about a baby moose that crawled under a buffet table, only to be avoided by the patrons as it stank up the banquet hall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/moosetable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does it mean to have an albatross around your neck? A political pundit, referring to a current candidate, mentioned &quot;an alcatraz around his neck.&quot; The proper version, with an albatross, originates from Samuel Taylor Coleridge&#039;s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, wherein a sailor shoots an albatross, bringing down a curse on the boat, and his shipmates force him to wear an albatross around his neck as a symbol of shame. Grant notes that the name albatross likely derives from the Portuguese or Spanish alcatraz, meaning &quot;pelican&quot; or &quot;sea bird.&quot; So perhaps an alcatraz around the neck isn&#039;t so far off after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/albatrossneck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/ancientrime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If something&#039;s &quot;the bee&#039;s knees,&quot; you can bet that it&#039;s also beast. A sixth grade teacher wonders about the term beast being thrown around by her students. This synonym for &quot;cool&quot; or &quot;good&quot; is also used as a verb, as in I beasted that exam, or &quot;I did extremely well.&quot; The slang term &quot;beast&quot; is common slang in sports, as in, &quot;That player is a beast on the field.&quot; Former Cal running back Marshawn Lynch is notably famous for his signature playing style, beast mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/beasted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks ago, a listener was looking for a term to describe the copy of The Emperor&#039;s New Clothes that he&#039;d read many times as a child. In this picture book, the naughty bits were always cleverly covered up. Thinking he wanted a synonym for &quot;fig leaf,&quot; Martha had offered the word antipudic, from the Latin pudor meaning &quot;shame.&quot; Many listeners responded, suggesting that the word he really wanted was bowdlerize, meaning &quot;to remove improper or offensive material.&quot; This eponym comes from Thomas Bowdler, whose sister ghost-edited The Family Shakespeare in 1818 containing censored versions of Shakespeare&#039;s plays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/antipudic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/bowdlerandsis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you go to a department store, you&#039;ll see the Men&#039;s department, the Women&#039;s department, and the Children&#039;s department. So why do so many stores have a department that&#039;s called simply Baby? Grant attributes the non-possessive nomenclature of stores like Baby Gap to tradition in the retail industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener from San Diego, California, named Lois has been called Louise, Lori, Lauren, Louisa, and Rosa, to name a few. And of course, the Scott/Todd mix-up phenomenon continues. Do people ever mess up your name?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/scotttodd&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;What does it mean to vet a political candidate? The word vet comes from veterinarian, specifically the ones who would examine a horse before a race to make sure it was healthy and eligible. Similarly, one might vet a candidate to make sure they&#039;re up to snuff. The novelist John le Carre popularized the term in his political stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/lecarre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener from Wisconsin adds to the discussion on wind pudding and air sauce, explaining that where he&#039;s from, wind pudding is old loggerspeak for baked beans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://wywd.us/windpudding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you pronounce biopic? The proper way to mention the genre of biographical motion picture has always been &quot;BUY-oh-pick,&quot; as opposed to the mirror of myopic. It&#039;s not unusual to mispronounce a word if the spelling does not clearly indicate how to say it. For example, Grant notes a common error people make in pronouncing misled to rhyme with &quot;chiseled.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If something&#039;s not in your bailiwick, it&#039;s not in your jurisdiction or area of control. But what exactly is a &quot;bailiwick&quot;? Martha explains that the two words which make up the term--bailiff and wick-- have specific meanings in Middle English. A bailiff, in the time of kings, was &quot;a public minister of a district,&quot; and a wick was simply a &quot;town&quot; or &quot;village.&quot; For example, Gatwick literally referred to a &quot;goat village.&quot; And Greenwich literally meant &quot;green village&quot; or &quot;village on the green.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that funny hehe, or funny haha? The way we laugh indicates whether we&#039;re laughing at someone or if we&#039;re simply enjoying the humor they&#039;ve brought.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&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 wrestles with the term atavistic, meaning &quot;the tendency to revert to ancestral characteristics.&quot; She now remembers it by the Latin root it shares with the Spanish word for &quot;grandfather,&quot; abuelo. Grant, in turn, shares his revelation that upwards of actually means &quot;more than,&quot; not &quot;up to.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A unicycle enthusiast wonders if his unicycle can be properly called a bike. To avoid the four-syllable mouthful, the unicycle community (yes, there is one) sometimes calls it a uni, but for the general public, the term &quot;bike&quot; works. Martha reveals that she once spent a summer teaching herself to ride a unicycle, and doesn&#039;t mind calling it a bike. Grant notes the general rule that once a word has left its etymological root, it can be used for whatever we need it for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88860&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rihanna&#039;s hit &quot;Umbrella&quot; may not have had the same ring if she&#039;d referred to being &quot;under my bumbershoot.&quot; Nonetheless, bumbershoot, bumberell, brolly and bumbersol, among others, are all playful alternatives to umbrella that even Mary Poppins would appreciate. Grant explains that bumbershoot, itself an American slang term, derives from the Latin umbra, meaning &quot;shadow,&quot; and chute, as in &quot;parachute.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjXKk3AbgH8&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bum2.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twitter&#039;s 140-character format has made way for a whole new brand of comedy writing.

Our Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has an app for that. This week&#039;s quiz features solutions starting with the letters app. Someone afraid to take care of the bug problem in their apartment doesn&#039;t want to &quot;app-roach&quot; them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it worth using proper pronunciation if it makes you sound ignorant or misinformed? Contrary to the common understanding, the word forte is actually pronounced &quot;fort.&quot; Grant describes forte as a skunked word; it&#039;s a losing situation no matter how you use it. For the sake of clarity and conversational flow, it&#039;s best instead to say that something is a &quot;strength,&quot; a &quot;strong suit,&quot; or is &quot;in one&#039;s wheelhouse.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever spend your off-time doing something work related? This is known as a busman&#039;s holiday or a postman&#039;s holiday, as in the British understanding of holiday as a vacation or time off work. Research for a dictionary entry on postman&#039;s holiday led Grant to an old French ragtime song called &quot;Le Facteur en Balade,&quot; or &quot;The Postman on a Walk&quot;. In the proper sense, a postman&#039;s holiday might consist of a leisurely walk along the same route whereon he delivers the mail. Let&#039;s just hope it doesn&#039;t involve getting chased by dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/jruSKk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some listeners are madly in love with oxymorons, and they continue to share their favorites. One listener has a great T-shirt that reads &quot;An oxymoron a day keeps reality away.&quot; Another says his favorite oxymoron is &quot;Dodge Ram.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener from Richmond, Virginia, remembers an old game called buckeye that consists of metaphorically pulling someone&#039;s leg, then calling Buckeye! and tugging one&#039;s own lower eyelid. Martha suggests that it may be related to a 19th-century use of buckeye that refers to &quot;something or someone inferior,&quot; like a country bumpkin or a rube. Thus, calling &quot;Buckeye!&quot; may be&amp;nbsp; equivalent to calling someone a sucker for getting tricked, or punk&#039;d. Still, any explanation for the eyelid exposure is still pending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant is pleased as punch about BYU Professor Mark Davies&#039; new Google Books Corpus, which contains entries for every word ever in the entire Google Books database. In addition to parts of speech and definitions, the site provides contextual examples for each word. For example, the database has revealed that the word suitcase is often preceded by the adjective battered. Writers, teachers, English learners and language enthusiasts will love prospecting in this lexical goldmine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://googlebooks.byu.edu/&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Home again, home again, jiggity-jig! A listener wonders about the origin of this phrase her Mother often used. Grant and Martha trace it back to another mother: Mother Goose. The full line goes, &quot;To market, to market, to buy a fat pig, home again, home again, jiggity-jig.&quot; It does not, contrary to a highly visited Google result, originate from the movie Blade Runner (though it&#039;s a cute scene nonetheless).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpK6GcViC88&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listeners have been sharing some of their personal Scrabble rules, including new uses for the blank tile. For example, one variation allows for the tile to be removed and reused, so if Grant were to play the blank tile as an &quot;E&quot; and Martha has an &quot;E&quot; in her tray, she can swap the tiles and then use the blank for her own play. Just be sure to use it, because nobody likes someone who bogarts the blank tile!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Downton Abbey, a program featured on Masterpiece Theater, provided a handful of colorful expressions that date surprisingly far back. Like it or lump it, meaning &quot;deal with it,&quot; is found at least as early as 1830 and takes from the old verb lump meaning &quot;to look sulky or disagreeable.&quot; Put that in your pipe and smoke it, a contemporary favorite meaning &quot;Take that!&quot; actually shows up around 1820. As for the phrase you&#039;re sailing perilously close to the wind, meaning &quot;be careful not to overstep&quot;--well, we haven&#039;t caught wind of the origin of that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Databases like the Google Books Corpus can also be used to follow text over time. For example, as the women&#039;s suffrage movement grew around 1910, words relating to women&#039;s rights grew in popularity and frequency of usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What came first, the color orange or the fruit? The original term is Sanskrit and refers to the fruit. As the fruit traveled west, the word came with it. Grant notes that, like the terms for parts of the body, the names of colors travel very well in language because we&#039;re constantly speaking and writing about them. The term &quot;orange&quot; became what it is in English after the fruit made it to the French town Orange. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares a quip that&#039;s all too true: &quot;I don&#039;t find it hard to meet expenses.

Also this week, the origins of skosh and can&#039;t hold a candle, why dragonflies are sometimes called snake doctors, whether the word pre-plan is redundant, and how technology is affecting the experience of reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha and Grant share some of their latest guilty-pleasure reading from Twitter feeds that show just how much meaning can be compressed into 140 characters. Cases in point: @veryshortstory and @GRAMMARHULK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://twitter.com/veryshortstory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://twitter.com/GRAMMARHULK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He can&#039;t hold a candle to someone means that he can&#039;t possibly compare to the other person.

The hosts suspect it&#039;s related to the audio element known as a &quot;sting&quot; in television and movie parlance, like this one in the famous &quot;Dramatic Prairie Dog&quot; video clip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjFxJVeCQs&amp;amp;NR=1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term skosh means &quot;a small amount,&quot; and derives from a Japanese word that means the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when the expression &quot;reading a book&quot; meant, well, actually reading a book?

Also this week, what&#039;s a jitney supper and where do you eat graveyard stew? The hosts explain the origin of the term &amp;ldquo;hang fire&amp;rdquo; and why Alaskans sound like they&#039;re from the Midwest, and take on a debate about whether an egregious falsehood is a bald-faced lie or a bold-faced lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What games first made you realize that words and letters make great playthings? Martha describes puzzling, as a child, over the odd combination of letters, F-U-N-E-X, until she finally figured out the joke. Grant talks about discovering anagrams as a youngster, and how word puzzles in the newspaper became a daily ritual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An office worker in Indianapolis is mystified when a British colleague sends an email telling her to &quot;hang fire.&quot; The hosts explain the expression has to do with faulty firearms.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Call up to 24 hours in advance to make a reservation.&quot; Do those instructions mean you can call until 24 hours before the deadline, or that you should call within 24 hours of it. When a San Diego listener assumed it was the former, she had an unpleasant surprise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know the POTUS (President of the United States) has a BOTUS? Grant explains what a BOTUS is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska&#039;s game this week is &quot;Name Dropping.&quot;&amp;nbsp; The answer for each set of clues will be a word that has a common first name hidden somewhere in it; when that name&#039;s removed, the remaining letters spell a new word. For example, the first clue is &quot;one of the seven deadly sins,&quot; the second is &quot;the grain consumed by one-fifth of the world&#039;s inhabitants.&quot; Subtract the latter from the former, and you get a woman&#039;s name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Charlottesville, Virginia, caller says that when she was a child and recovering from an illness, her mother fed her a kind of milk toast she called graveyard stew. Is that strange name unique to her family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the health care debate in Congress, there was lots of talk about an up-or-down vote. A Montana listener finds this expression annoying.&amp;nbsp; What&#039;s wrong with plain old &quot;vote&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In youth slang, &quot;totes&quot; is short for &quot;totally.&quot; Grant talks about new, lengthened version of this slang shortening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Carlsbad, California, couple has a running debate over whether an egregious whopper is correctly called a bold-faced lie or a bald-faced lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Library of Congress is archiving the entire content of Twitter. Grant explains why that&#039;s a gold mine for language researchers like David Bamman at Tufts University.

Martha and Grant puzzle over this question. Also, the difference between baggage and luggage, a royal word quiz, the &quot;egg&quot; in egg on, what to call someone who doesn&#039;t eat fish or seafood, Hawaiian riddles, and why we say &quot;You bet your sweet bippy!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When President Barack Obama had the Oval Office redecorated in soft browns and beige, The New York Times headline read: &amp;ldquo;The Audacity of Taupe.&amp;rdquo; The hosts discuss how puns work, and what makes them clever. Martha recommends John Pollack&#039;s new book, The Pun Also Rises: How the Humble Pun Revolutionized Language, Changed History, and Made Wordplay More than Some Antics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.thepunalsorises.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call someone who doesn&amp;rsquo;t eat fish? A caller wants to know, but not because of dietary requirements. He&#039;s a string bass player who plays in an ensemble that&amp;rsquo;s tired of being asked to perform Schubert&amp;rsquo;s famous composition, the Trout Quintet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.classicalnotes.net/classics/trout.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha and Grant tells him he has several options. Among them: non-pescatarian, anti-marinovore, anichthyophagist--and, of course, non-seafood eater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s the difference between baggage and luggage? After all, it&amp;rsquo;s not as if anyone confesses to having emotional luggage. The hosts conclude that usually the word &amp;ldquo;luggage&amp;rdquo; specifies the container, while &amp;ldquo;baggage&amp;rdquo; is more likely to refer to that which is lugged inside the container. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares a quotation from Joseph Addison, no fan of puns: &amp;ldquo;If we must lash one another, let it be with the manly strokes of wit and satire: for I am of the old philosopher&amp;rsquo;s opinion, that, if I must suffer from one or the other, I would rather it should be from the paw of a lion than from the hoof of an ass.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a royal quiz in honor of the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William. He celebrates the wedding of the King and Queen with clues to answers that contain the letters &quot;K&quot; and &quot;Q&quot; next to each other. The answer to &quot;The band that recorded &#039;Take Five,&#039;&quot; for example, is the &quot;Dave BrubecK Quartet.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where&#039;d we get a word like skyscraper? Martha explains the image literally refers to scraping the sky, but first applied to the topmost sail on a ship, and later to tall horses, and high fly balls in baseball. There are similar ideas in other languages, as in the Spanish word &quot;rascacielos&quot; and French &quot;gratte-ciel.&quot; In German, the word is picturesque as well. It&#039;s &amp;ldquo;Wolkenkratzer,&amp;rdquo; which literally means &quot;cloud-scratcher.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant shares some fill-in-the-blank puzzles from a listener. For example, &quot;There&#039;s one w______ on a u________&quot; and &quot;There are 5 d________ in a z_________ c__________.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener remembers her mother used to say, &quot;Your Monday is longer than your Tuesday.&quot; This phrase offered a subtle way to notify someone that her slip was showing. Other expressions convey that warning as well, including &quot;Monday comes before Sunday&quot; and &quot;Saturday is longer than Sunday.&quot; Also, if someone whispers &quot;Mrs. White is out of jail,&quot; it&#039;s time to check to see if your slip is showing. Ditto if you&#039;re told you have &quot;a Ph.D.,&quot; but you&#039;ve never earned that degree. In this case &quot;Ph.D&quot; stands for &quot;Petticoat Hanging Down.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha&#039;s been reading the Dictionary of Smoky Mountain English again, and stumbled across a synonym for &quot;fried chicken.&quot; It&#039;s preacher meat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cas.sc.edu/engl/dictionary/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The Die is Cast&quot; is the title of an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. A listener and his wife disagree about what kind of &quot;die&quot; is meant here. It&#039;s not a reference to metallurgy -- it&#039;s a quotation attributed to Julius Caesar. When he crossed the Rubicon to lead a campaign against his enemies, he supposedly declared, &quot;Alea jacta est.&quot; The word &quot;alea,&quot; which refers to one piece of a set of dice, is an ancestor of the modern English word &quot;aleatory,&quot; which means &quot;by chance.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when a clock gets hungry? It goes back four seconds. Martha talks about how puns weren&#039;t always considered &quot;bad.&quot; Cicero praised them as the wittiest kind of saying, and Shakespeare made plenty of them, for both serious and comic effect. In the early 18th century, though, things changed. Pamphlets with titles like &quot;God&#039;s Revenge Against Punning&quot; began appearing, and the great lexicographer Samuel Johnson denounced them as &quot;the last refuge of the witless.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha and Grant discuss why some puns work and others don&#039;t. Martha recommends John Pollack&#039;s observation in The Pun Also Rises describing how &quot;for a split second, puns manage to hold open the elevator doors of language and meaning as the brain toggles furiously between competing semantic destinations, before finally deciding which is the best answer, or deciding to live with both.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where&#039;d we get the expression You bet your sweet bippy!? It&#039;s from Rowan &amp;amp; Martin&#039;s Laugh-In, a zany television show from the late 1960s. The word &quot;bippy,&quot; by the way, means &quot;butt.&quot; The phrase &quot;You bet your sweet bippy&quot; is a linguistic descendant of earlier versions that go back to at least the 1880s, when phrases like &quot;You bet your sweet life&quot; were commonly used. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.museum.tv/eotvsection.php?entrycode=rowanandmar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show also popularized such phrases as &quot;Sock it to me!&quot; and &quot;Look that up in your Funk &amp;amp; Wagnalls.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iGvzmOoh3Y&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is Cairo, Ill., pronounced &quot;KAY-roh&quot;? Why do Midwesterners pronounce Versailles as &quot;Ver-SALES&quot; and the New Madrid Fault as &quot;New MAD-rid&quot;? Grant explains that these names are far removed from their earlier incarnations and function as a sort of shibboleth among the locals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha springs another pun on Grant: Knock-knock. Who&#039;s there? Tarzan. Tarzan who? &amp;ldquo;Tarzan Stripes Forever.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we speak of trying to egg on a person, meaning to urge them to do something? Martha explains that the &quot;egg&quot; in this case has nothing to do with chickens. This kind of &quot;egg&quot; is derives from an old root that means to &quot;urge on with a sharp object.&quot; It&#039;s a linguistic relative of the word &quot;edge.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant wraps up with some Hawaiian riddles from the book Riddling Tales From Around the World, by Marjorie Dundas, including this one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My twin was with me from the day I crawled&lt;br /&gt;With me till the day I die&lt;br /&gt;i cannot escape him&lt;br /&gt;yet when storms come, he deserts me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://books.google.com/books?id=qnWz6zrE8RUC&amp;amp;pg=PA66&amp;amp;lpg=PA66&amp;amp;dq=%22My+twin+with+me+from+the+day+I+crawled%22&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=dTLR_OAxIm&amp;amp;sig=vvHKYEeCGLgl2SqLqqqpcOn8d_A&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ei=drrZTcbZEoeusAP9wtWFDA&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;ct=result&amp;amp;resnum=1&amp;amp;ved=0CBYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=%22My%20twin%20with%20me%20from%20the%20day%20I%20crawled%22&amp;amp;f=false&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&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!

INSERT INTO `items1` VALUES (1719, 'Pickles and Ice Cream - 23 May 2011', 'http://feeds.waywordradio.org/~r/awwwpodcast/~3/lcqQ87RQ_xU/pickles-and-ice-cream-23-may-2011', '&lt;p&gt;SUMMARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about some wind pudding with a dollop of air sauce? What&#039;s in a tavern sandwich? Do pregnant women really crave pickles and ice cream? Grant and Martha dig in to colorful language from the world of food. Plus, ever think of publishing a novel? Be warned: The snarky literary agent from SlushPile Hell shows no mercy when it comes to rejections. Also, piggy banks, children vs. kids, hand vs. foot dexterity, and a bi-coastal quiz. Plus, those flipped sentences known as antimetabole, such as &quot;It&#039;s not the men in your life that counts, it&#039;s the life in your men.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever thought about getting that novel published? Apparently, others have too, and some of their queries are less than persuasive for the admittedly grumpy literary agent who writes the blog SlushPile Hell. He posts some of the more colorful queries from his inbox, along with his own pithy responses. Take this one: &quot;Have you ever wondered what it&#039;s like to be pulled up a waterfall or to be flushed down a toilet?&quot; To which the agent responds, &quot;Hey! Have you been reading my mind?&quot; Ouch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/9z3rBp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it wrong to refer to children as kids? One discerning mother, when asked about her kids, always replied, &quot;I don&#039;t raise goats, but my children are fine.&quot; Grant explains that as early as the 1600s, the word kids had popped up to refer to bratty or unruly children. But by the 1800s, it was normal even among upper-class households to call their young ones kids without any negative connotations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vegetarian from Vermillion, South Dakota, wonders about the origin of a popular loose meat sandwich called a tavern. It&#039;s like a sloppy joe, and also goes by the monikers Maid-Rite and Tastee. Martha notes a diner in Sioux City, Iowa, called Ye Olde Tavern, that claims to have created the sandwich. Still, with food origins, plenty of people lay claim to the inventions of everything, from hamburgers to breakfast cereal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/fik8P2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/jtCwOA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a bi-coastal quiz about two-word phrases connecting the letters NY and CA. For example, the man in black is JohnNY CAsh. Keep your eyes wide open for the clues!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Canadian listener&#039;s boyfriend has a special talent. He can remove his socks, roll them up, and throw them across the room into the laundry basket--all with his toes. She says he has toe dexterity, but wonders if the word dexterous can apply to feet as well as hands? Martha notes that great soccer players like Argentina&#039;s Lionel Messi are simply called dexterous, although nimble and agile are also appropriate adjectives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noctivagant people are those who wander the night, and vespertilian folks have bat-like qualities. Add these to &quot;shirtless&quot; as poignant ways to describe a vampire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the going gets tough, the tough get going. This and other phrases of wisdom are known as antimetabole, from the Greek for &quot;turning about in the opposite direction.&quot; Certain forms of these statements also go by the name chiasmus, from the Greek letter chi, meaning &quot;X.&quot; They&#039;re often effective for making a point in a speech, like John F. Kennedy&#039;s famous &quot;Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.&quot; No matter the context, these flipped-sentence proverbs are great for making a point clear. Mardy Grothe has a whole book about chiasmus called Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool You. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/lJz5qp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grumpy agent who writes the blog SlushPile Hell received a submission stating, &quot;I have attached a copy of a letter I recently sent to Oprah about my book. She ends her show in September 2011, which leaves little time to select an agent.&quot; The agent responds, &quot;Finally! An author who understands the importance of Oprah and has a no-fail plan for getting on her show.&quot; As if.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s for dinner? How about wind pudding, air sauce, and a side of balloon trimmings? This colorful euphemism for &quot;nothing&quot; dates as far back as the American Civil War, when troops would come into the mess tent, see a wild squirrel boiling in a pot, and opt for wind pudding and air sauce instead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The calls and e-mails keep coming in about Scotts being called Todds and Todds being called Scotts. One listener left a voicemail about a christening where the priest called the baby by its oddly common misnomer. Another listener by the name of Stefanie complains that she keeps getting called Jennifer. Perhaps it has to do with rhythm, and the patterns we develop out of sounds and syllables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&#039;s been a lot of talk about the place of handwriting in the digital age. Grant has some great books to recommend on the subject: Reading Early American Handwriting by Kip Sperry, and Handwriting in America: A Cultural History by Tamara Thornton. A long time ago, part of the reason for teaching longhand cursive was to have students practice transcribing documents with indoctrinating political messages. The character of handwriting, from the flourishes to the way a letter sits on the line, brought with it an array of cultural implications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/mwKGPn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/lDrvCS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we have piggy banks instead of any other kind of farm animal banks? In Scotland and Northern England, a kind of earthen material called pigg was used in the Middle Ages for making pots. The name stuck, and today we fill our piggs, or piggy banks, with coins. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do pregnant women enjoy pickles and ice cream? Or do they? Linguists from the American Dialect Society have been discussing this recently. They found that the expression pickles and ice cream once referred simply to the conjoining of two unrelated things, sort of the opposite of peas and carrots. Not until the middle of the 20th century did it pertain to cravings, simply because pregnant women go through different nutritional patterns than they would when eating for one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the word training be pluralized, as in &quot;How many trainings did you have last week&quot;? Martha and Grant disagree about whether training can be a count noun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Minnesotan who relocated to Wisconsin gets called a Mud Duck, and wants to know why. Much in the way Wisconsinites get referred to as Cheese Heads, it&#039;s really a harmless bit of nomenclature from a cross-state rivalry. In hunting, the term duck has also been known to mean a mixed kind of species. Unfortunately, Mud Duck has popped up in odd corners with negative racial connotations. Still, the vast majority of people using Mud Duck mean it simply as a friendly jest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martha shares another barb from the SlushPile Hell agent.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&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!

INSERT INTO `items1` VALUES (1720, 'Who You Callin&#039; a Jabronie? - 16 May 2011', 'http://feeds.waywordradio.org/~r/awwwpodcast/~3/f5POAoR26HQ/who-you-callin-a-jabronie-16-may-2011', '&lt;p&gt;SUMMARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo! Who you callin&#039; a jabronie? And what exactly is a jabronie, anyway? Also, what do vintage school buses and hack writers have in common? Grant and Martha trace the origins of famous quotes, and a listener offers a clever new way to say &quot;not my problem.&quot; All that, plus winklehawks, motherwit, oxymorons, word mash-ups, and a quiz about palindromes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that a winklehawk in your pants? A listener shares this word for those L-shaped rips in your trousers, from an old Dutch term for &quot;a carpenter&#039;s L-shaped tool.&quot; And Grant has a new favorite term, motherwit, meaning &quot;the natural ability to cope with everyday life.&quot; You could say a mark of wisdom is showing some motherwit in the face of life&#039;s winklehawks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever heard a school bus called a school hack? Grant and Martha explain the etymology of hack, beginning with hackney horses in England, then referring to the drivers of the horse-drawn carriages, then the carriages themselves, and finally the automobiles that replaced them. A museum in Richmond, Indiana, has a vintage yellow school hack, once used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to bring rural children to their schoolhouse. Incidentally, the contemporary term hack, meaning a tired old journalist, comes directly from the original term for the tired old horse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/mfS08T&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms! A listener senses something awfully good about oxymorons, from the Greek for &quot;pointedly foolish&quot;. Grant shares this favorite example from Shakespeare&#039;s Romeo and Juliet, while Martha picks a modern classic: airline food. What are your favorites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the U.K., they don&#039;t count their seconds as one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi, because, well, they have no Mississippi. Instead, they say one-elephant, two-elephant. Lynne Murphy, author of the blog Separated by a Common Language, points out this difference between English speakers on opposite sides of the pond. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/pZxYG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a game called Welded Palindromes, with two-word phrases spelled the same forwards and backwards. What do you call your first appearance on TV? A tube debut. What kind of beer does a king drink? Why, a regal lager, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener wonders about the origin of the phrase your father&#039;s mustache, akin to the phrase go jump in a lake, or your mamma wears combat boots. Grant explains that it may sound more familiar as your fadda&#039;s mustache, circa 1930s, Brooklyn. The borough&#039;s own jazz musician Woody Herman had a hit song in 1945 called Your Father&#039;s Mustache, but those in the know pronounced it &quot;FAH-dah.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/lCbNwL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener named Meagan from Wisconsin uses the term flustrated, combining flustered and frustrated--one of many mashed together words she deems Meaganisms. Though Grant applauds her innovation and creativity, Martha points out that flustrate actually does pop up in English texts as far back as the 18th Century. Though dictionaries with entries for flustrate note that it&#039;s usually a jocular term, a conversation could always use more Meaganisms. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant gives Martha a little Greek test with the word leucomelanous. Leuco, meaning &quot;white,&quot; and melano, meaning &quot;black,&quot; together refer to someone with a fair complexion and dark hair, like Snow White or Veronica from the Archie comics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you say &quot;not my problem&quot;? A listener shares his go-to: Not my pig, not my farm. It means the same thing as I don&#039;t have a horse in that race, or I don&#039;t have a dog in that fight. Douglas Adams, in The Hitchhiker&#039;s Guide to the Galaxy, created the SEP Field, or the Somebody Else&#039;s Problem field. Though examples are boundless, there doesn&#039;t seem to be a standard or definite origin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://douglasadams.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cowboy loves a ranch that&#039;s pecorous, meaning abundant with cattle. Just something worth knowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&#039;s an old joke running around that goes as follows, &quot;Lost: Bald, one-eyed ginger Tom, crippled in both back legs, recently castrated, answers to the name of &#039;Lucky.&#039;&quot; Nigel Rees of The Quote Unquote Newsletter has been tracking down this oft-quoted joke, and so far he&#039;s found it as far back as 1969. On another front, Fred Shapiro of the Yale Book of Quotations has made progress in tracing the origins of famous quotes, often to people other than those who made them famous. And the folks at quoteinvestigator.com are doing their share in researching the history of those quips and aphorisms that do so much to frame our essays and speeches. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/dgveSD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/lz1qRp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/8nWlvi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A violin maker wonders about the origin of a practice in his trade known as purfling, where a black and white line is inlaid into a tiny channel along the edge of the instrument. Martha traces the word back to the Latin filum, meaning &quot;line&quot; or &quot;thread.&quot; Purfling is also a practice in guitar-making, furniture-making, and embroidery, and it shares an etymological root with profile. A fun fact: purfling is also just &quot;profiling&quot; said with a mouth full of marshmallows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone admiringly called a woman &quot;outspoken,&quot; Dorothy Parker is said to have cynically replied, &quot;Outspoken by whom?&quot; Well, according to quoteinvestigator.com, the line pre-dates Parker&#039;s quip.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Why do we call our biceps guns? The slang lexicographer Jonathon Green suggests that the metaphor first pops up in baseball around the 1920s, when players referred to their throwing arms as guns. Believe it or not, the early baseball pitchers actually threw the ball intending for the batter to hit it. It wasn&#039;t until later that a strong arm, or gun, was needed to throw a pitch too fast to hit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener shares a Russian saying that translates I am going there where the Tsar goes on foot, meaning &quot;I am going to the bathroom.&quot; It&#039;s the equivalent of we all put our pants on one leg at a time, or we&#039;re all just human.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who you calling a jabronie? And what exactly is a jabronie? Grant traces this playful insult, meaning a &quot;rube&quot; or &quot;loser,&quot; to the 1920s, when Italian immigrants brought over a similar-sounding Milanese term for &quot;ham.&quot; Jabronie is also commonly used in professional wrestling, referring to those guys set up to lose to the superstars. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;A decade is ten years. A century is a hundred. But what do you call a period of five years? It&#039;s a lustrum, borrowed whole from Latin. So you might say a decade is two lustra.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&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!

The rumors were false, but they got Grant thinking about idiosyncratic adaptations of the game&#039;s rules. Also this week, the origins of the terms picket lines and hooch, why actors go up on their lines, terms for diarrhea of the mouth, and what we mean when we say there&#039;s an 800-lb. gorilla in the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some families have their own idiosyncratic rules for Scrabble. Grant talks about the rules in his house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do we mean when we say there&#039;s an 800-lb. gorilla in the room?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Indianapolis listener says her family often refers to strong liquor as hooch, and wonders where that term comes from. The hosts trace the term&#039;s path from an Indian village in Alaska. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant follows up on his chickpea vs. garbanzo poll, and shares an email on the subject from the U.S. Dry Bean Council.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska reprises his game called Initiarithmetic. The object is to guess a set of items associated with certain numbers, as in &quot;There are 12 m__________ in the y___________.&quot; Here&#039;s another: &quot;76 t___________ in the b__________ p____________.&quot; If you missed the first Initiarithmetic game, it&#039;s here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.waywordradio.org/like-a-duck-on-a-june-bug/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An SAT prep teacher in Santa Cruz, California, hears lots of teen slang in his work, and is struck by a new use of the term legit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#039;s a synonym for diarrhea of the mouth? A caller swears she heard the word on an earlier episode, but can&#039;t recall it. The hosts try to help. Tumidity? Multiloquence? Logorrhea?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several decades ago, the expression tickety-boo was commonly used to mean &quot;all in order,&quot; &quot;correct,&quot; or &quot;just dandy.&quot; Although it&#039;s rarely heard, a caller who once lived in Florida says her boss there often used it. Does it derive from Hindi? By the way, if you just can&#039;t get enough of this expression, check out Danny Kaye singing &quot;Everything is Tickety-boo.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzVCahrtaWI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grant quizzes Martha about some odd terms: three sisters garden, weak-hand draw, and strimmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the theater, actors who forget their lines are said to go up or to go up on their lines. But why go up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener from Bethel, Maine, calls with a riddle she heard at summer camp: The maker doesn&#039;t want it, the buyer doesn&#039;t use it, and the user never sees it. What is it? She proceeds to stump the hosts with a puzzle: What adjective requires five letters to form the superlative? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Fort Worth listener wonders about a claim she saw in a 1930s magazine. The article said that traditionally, a picket line was an area between the front lines of two opposing armies where soldiers might safely venture out to pick berries without fear of being attacked. Might that be connected to the modern sense of picket line meaning a group of striking workers or protesters?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&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!

Grant explains how grammar rules develop. Also, what&#039;s tarantula juice, and what&#039;s the difference between a muffin top and a smiley? The hosts discuss these and other terms from Jonathon Green&#039;s new Dictionary of Slang. Why do we call a waste of taxpayer money a boondoggle? What does it mean to be cotton to someone? And what&#039;s happening if we have a touch of the seconds? Plus, funny movie mistakes, a quiz in limerick form, regional terms for lanyards, and a new spin on the musical joke brown chicken, brown cow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FULL DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you guess what a smiley is? Or how about tarantula juice? You could, of course, happen upon someone with a muffin top drinking inferior whisky, or you could look these terms up in Jonathon Green&#039;s new Historical Dictionary of Slang. Green spent decades assembling this three-volume collection of slang from the United States, Great Britain, and every other nook and cranny of the English-speaking world. Grant explains what has linguists so excited about its publication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/ienVE3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you preface a statement with &quot;I&#039;m not trying to be racist, but,&quot; does that then make it okay? And is there a term for such disclaimer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#039;s always fun to catch moviemakers&#039; blunders. Say you&#039;re watching an epic about ancient Rome and spot a toga-clad extra who forgot to remove his wristwatch. That&#039;s an anachronism. But what do you call something that&#039;s geographically incorrect. Take, for example, an exterior shot of what&#039;s supposed to be Dunder Mifflin&#039;s Scranton office, but includes a fleeting glimpse of a palm tree? That&#039;s called an anatopism (accent on the second syllable), from the Greek topos, meaning &quot;place.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For an excellent timewaster along these lines, Grant recommends moviemistakes.com. (Yo, &quot;The Nativity Story&quot;! Everyone knows maize wasn&#039;t grown in Nazareth during the time of Christ. Anatopic FAIL!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/39Ji&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Understandings aren&#039;t just for epistemologists and marriage counselors. In the 18th Century, the slang term understandings was a jocular name for &quot;boots&quot; or &quot;shoes.&quot; Later, the word also came to be a joking term for &quot;legs.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a set of Topical Limericks from the world of media and entertainment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A listener from Dallas wonders about the origin of I&#039;m not cotton to, meaning &quot;I&#039;m not in favor of&quot; or &quot;I don&#039;t get along with.&quot; Though it sounds like a classic Southern phrase, Martha traces it all the way back to England, where the verb to cotton had to do with textile work. Saying I&#039;m not cotton with or I don&#039;t cotton to means that you don&#039;t get along with something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call those convenient props in illustrations and movies that cover up the proverbial naughty bits? A listener remembers an old illustrated copy of The Emperor&#039;s New Clothes that made clever use of twigs and berries for covering, well, the twigs and berries. Martha opens the kimono on the rare term antipudic, from the Latin pudor meaning &quot;shame.&quot; It&#039;s the source also of the English words impudent and pudenda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alfred Hitchcock specifically referred to his own use of antipudic devices regarding the shower scene in Psycho. And of course, nobody makes better use of antipudic devices than Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/Zikak&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listeners emailed us in response to a call on the sonorous bow-chicka-wow-wow cliche, and we&#039;re glad they did. We learned that country star Trace Adkins has a song called &quot;brown chicken, brown cow&quot; that uses puppets to demonstrate just what it means to take a roll in the hay. We&#039;re sure it&#039;d have Statler and Waldorf whipping out their opera binoculars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://waywordradio.org/a-murphy-a-melvin-and-a-wedgie/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/fNoots&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is Boo-Boo the Fool? A listener wonders if this African-American character has any relation the Puerto Rican fool, Juan Bobo. Martha draws a connection to the Spanish term bobo, meaning &quot;fool,&quot; and its Latin root balbus, meaning &quot;stammerer&quot;. Grant notes that the name Bobo has been extremely common for clowns since at least the 1940s, and the bobo/clown/jester character is prevalent in most all cultural folklores, be they African, South American, or Anglo-European. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to language, a listener from Dallas wants to know, as a fellow Texan might put it, &quot;Who&#039;s the decider&quot;? Grant explains that nobody makes the rules about language--and everybody does. For those seeking professional guidance, a whole community of lexicographers, dictionaries, and style guides offers rules and provenance on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. However, on a daily basis all the users of a language implicitly write the rules by choosing words and syntax that have semantic clarity for the people they&#039;re trying to communicate with. You could go to a reference book, or you could say something to your neighbor, then judge by their reaction whether or not you made sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your mother gave you life, and you gave her . . . a boondoggle? Or is it a lanyard? Or maybe a gimp? Grant assures a listener there are several terms for that long key fob you made at summer camp out of plastic yarn. Boondoggle seems to have originated among Boy Scouts in the Rochester, N.Y., area in the 1930s, and was later picked up by those in politics to mean &quot;a wasteful debacle.&quot; Grant also shares a French term for these summer-camp crafts, scoubidou, pronounced just like the cartoon dog, but apparently no relation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody writes more movingly about lanyards than poet Billy Collins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/YqF7g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you get an email called Life in the 1500s, hit &quot;delete&quot;! Grant explains that the etymology provided is not entirely accurate. That&#039;s what this show is for. Also, if you&#039;re getting an email that says Free Money, Click Here, you shouldn&#039;t trust that either. That&#039;s what jobs are for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snopes.com has a good debunking of these linguistic urban legends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bit.ly/fJQD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A college senior has invented a word to describe that anxiety we feel when there&#039;s unfinished work looming over us. He calls it desgundes. As in, that twenty-year-old in the library making a three-foot boondoggle must likely be dealing with some inner desgundes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Indianapolis listener says his father used to often speak of &quot;leaving this veil of tears.&quot; His son wonders about the origin of that phrase. Grant and Martha explain the term is actually vale, a synonym for valley. In some translations, Psalm 84 refers to traveling through a vale of tears.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&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!
