  1. 'Beer' words in the OED, with Fiona McPherson

    'Beer' words in the OED, with Fiona McPherson

    1031. This week, Fiona McPherson from the Oxford English Dictionary talks about the latest “beer” words added to the OED, from “boozeroo” to “beerage.” We discuss how these words are chosen, the fascinating history behind them, and why some have surprising origins. Fiona also explains how digital resources have transformed lexicography and shares why the OED preserves every word in the language, even obsolete ones.

    BONUS: The Devil's Dictionary, with Jim Norrena

    Bonus. This ad-free bonus is part of your Grammarpalooza subscription. In today's bonus, I talked about a classic satirical dictionary called "The Devil's Dictionary" by Ambrose Bierce with Jim Norrena, a copy editor in the San Francisco Bay Area whom I met many years ago at one of my book signings. We laugh through some of the hilarious definitions, but also marvel over Bierce's wild life and discover the surprising reason he may have called himself a devil.

  4. 'Hanged' versus 'Hung.' Is 'pair' singular or plural? Fossilized phrases.

    قبل يومين

    'Hanged' versus 'Hung.' Is 'pair' singular or plural? Fossilized phrases.

    1030. This week, we look at why "hang" has two past-tense forms: "hanged" and "hung." (And why I keep messing them up!) Then we expand on why "pair" can be singular or plural. And finally we look at why we hear some words only in set phrases such as "bated breath," "throes of agony," and "to and fro."

  7. Are you "pantless" or "pantsless"? Who (or what) is Beetlejuice?

    ٣ جمادى الأولى

    Are you "pantless" or "pantsless"? Who (or what) is Beetlejuice?

    1028. This week, we look at the weird situation when you want to add a suffix (such as "-less") to a plural-only noun such as "pants" or "scissors" — with a fun detour for some pants-related idioms. Then, with a new "Beetlejuice" in theaters, we look at the fascinating origin of the name and its role in mythology throughout the ages.
