Questions from our listeners: Zhooshing Polari. What does it mean to have "the boits"? Of hills and mountains. Why is it Portuguese and not Brazilian? How can you spot an accent? Do our brains lump additional languages together? Revisiting English adjectives that come last, like "matters linguistic" and "light fantastic". Why do we turn positive words negative? Why is there a D in 'fridge', but not 'refrigerator'? What is Anglish? Do online trolls change the rules of Gricean cooperation?
