Spicy Jambalaya - 18 June 2018

<p>Teen slang from the South, and food words that are tricky to pronounce. High schoolers in Huntsville, Alabama, give Martha and Grant an earful about their slang -- including a term particular to their hometown. All we can say is: Don't be a "forf"! And: How do you pronounce the name of that tasty Louisiana specialty: Is it  JUM-buh-lye-yah or JAM-buh-lye-yah? And which syllable do you stress when pronouncing the spice spelled T-U-R-M-E-R-I-C? Finally, the word spelled W-A-T-E-R is of course pretty simple . . . so you might be surprised it can be pronounced at LEAST 15 different ways! Plus gnat flat, looking brave, vog, Russian mountains, high hat, whisker fatigue, chi hoo -- eh, fuggedaboudit!</p> <p>Listen to all episodes for free: https://waywordradio.org/<br />  <br /> Support the show to keep episodes coming: https://waywordradio.org/donate<br />  <br /> Your responses, questions, and comments are welcomed at any time! <br />  <br /> https://waywordradio.org/contact<br />  <br /> words@waywordradio.org<br />  <br /> Listener line 1 (877) 929-9673 toll-free in the US and Canada<br />  <br /> Text/SMS +1 (619) 567-9673<br />  <br /> Copyright Wayword, Inc., a 501(c)(3) corporation.
