That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings & Nicknames and Pet Names

from Getting Down & Wordy · host Russell Pirkle & Hannah Weyer

We talk about the etymology of the words nickname and pet name, why some nicknames don't look much like the name they're shortened from (like Robert -> Bob). Honorifics. Pet names through history. And for Eurovision we talk about Give That Wolf a Banana by Subwoolfer.
