&lt;p&gt;SUMMARY:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More and more college students are getting pregnant -- with burrito babies. Grant talks about new terms for &quot;a full stomach&quot; and other examples of campus slang. Also, is it safe to play on the macadam? And: 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!
