A Way with Words - language, linguistics, and callers from all over

Kids Are Asking - 11 April 2019


Listen Later

Questions from young listeners and conversations about everything from shifting slang to a bizarre cooking technique. Kids ask about how to talk about finding information on the internet, how tartar sauce got its name, and if the expression high and dry describes something good or something bad. Yes, kids often know more than their parents!
