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

Remember the classic films Dogumentary and $3000? Those were their working titles, before they became ⁠Best In Show⁠ and ⁠Pretty Woman⁠. We look at how movie titles evolve and change. Also, is Spanglish a real language? And balaclavas, teaching your grandmother to suck eggs, buying liquor at the packie, making a train take a dirt road, and that weird sensation when you meet a stranger you feel like you already know from your friends’ Facebook updates!  Hear hundreds of free episodes and learn more on the A Way with Words website: ⁠https://waywordradio.org⁠.
