Today's episode features Dr Tim Jay from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. He's retired now. But, his work still lives on. We discuss how he decided to come up with this study. His findings, how it is different today with language being communicated through text, social media, his friendship with the legendary comic, George Carlin - he loosely based his "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV" bit on Tim's work. Great interview. Great guy. Good times were had. Now, let's see if you are, in fact, borderline genius. Or, just a moron. Enjoy!
