@EileenM60933733 Have you ever listened to " A Way with Words" podcasts on NPR? Great fun with words!
we're looking to expand our team! apply for the following positions: • swamp witch • bejeweled heiress • gnome doctor who lives in a mushroom • magician who falls for a rival magician • bob-haired waitress running her hand through a sack of grain

New on Crossword Craze! 100 years ago, the Boston Globe was building a pretty cool community of crossword solvers and dictionary hounds. crosswordcraze.today/the-boston-glo…
The series finale of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" hinged on a peculiar word: "catawampus." As a term for things that go awry or fall into disarray, it was a highly appropriate choice for the show. My latest for @WSJ. on.wsj.com/49zs5Vu
A way with words #podcast: Blue Dolphin waywordradio.org/blue-dolphin/
@KayYash6 Used to listen to NPR's "A Way With Words". Informative and entertaining.
@eyeslasho NPR still has some of the best programming on the radio: Marketplace, As it Happens, Fresh Aire, A Splendid Table, Best of Car Talk, A Way with Words, All Things Considered, Mountain Stage, On the Media, Only a Game, Planet Money, Radiolab, Studio 360…
@IAmJohnAles Mom used "et" regularly. I think it has UK origins, which fits with her genealogy??? Care to weigh in @wayword ?
A group of bunnies is known as a “fluffle”—or is it? Unlike such exotic terms as a “leap of leopards” or an ”exaltation of larks,” this one got its start as a college prank. wsj.com/arts-culture/f… via @WSJ Word on the street and @wayword are informational and fun column & show
Have you come across "fluffle" as a term for a group of rabbits? The collective noun that has taken social media by storm actually originated as a joke among a group of Canadian undergrads. My latest for @WSJ. (Thx @wayword for helping solve the mystery!) on.wsj.com/4au1bzk
@wayword @artcrimeprof Yet it's preferable to counter check with human translation (A bit fastidious, I confess). I'll give it a try.
@GrammarTable I’ve often heard ‘entitled’ (for books, not just spoiled brats),but I noticed that Diane Rehm in her radio show/podcasts alwats says titled, as do Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett, indefatigable linguists and co-hosts of the stndicated radio programme/podcast ‘A Way with Words’.
@wayword @MarthaBarnette @GrantBarrett Had a few stored up. 😊
