36: All Language Is Made Up

from Pants in the Boot · host The Incomparable

Hokey crokey, Batman! We start by talking about nonsense words—words that are filler and mean nothing in the language or dialect in which they’re used—but then transition to more meaningful matters, like the way in which aboriginal and native languages in various countries have made inroads into English. The movie Brave is mentioned and, of course, Johnny Vegas of St Helens. Host Glenn Fleishman with Annette Wierstra, Chris Phin, Dan Moren, James Thomson, and Sarah Hendrica Bickerton.
