from A Way with Words - language, linguistics, and callers from all over · host Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. Produced by Stefanie Levine.

Feel like having a little “hair of the dog”? Grant and Martha explain what dog hair has to do with hangover cures. And what do you call it when random objects form a recognizable image, like a cloud resembling a bunny, or the image of Elvis in a grilled cheese sandwich? Also, with all this talk about this year’s election ballot, did you ever stop to think about where the word ballot comes from? Martha and Grant discuss terms related to politics, including ballot and leg treasurer. Hear hundreds of free episodes and learn more on the A Way with Words website: https://waywordradio.org.
