       @grammargirl I enjoyed the latest episode of Grammar Girl. In it, a caller mentioned the phrase “sufficiently suffonsified”. You may know this already but @wayword did a nice segment on this phrase. You can listen to it here https://www.waywordradio.org/suffonsified/

       @pmb @wayword I followed their link to the "American Speech" article and will include a little follow up in this week's podcast (with credit, of course). Thanks again! It's fun. :)

       @grammargirl @wayword Thanks! I love your segment on familect. One of my own examples comes from my mother who would frequently say “home again, home again, jiggity jig” whenever we would come home from a long trip. For years, I never paid it much attention. One day I was listening to “A Way with Words” and a caller mentioned that phrase as a part of a larger nursery rhyme. It kinda blew my mind that it came from some thing other people said. Those sorts of familect segments are the most interesting to me where you find that a phrase that you believed to be unique to your family ties you to a broader community.I love the show and am looking forward to the next episode. 🙂
