Go here to the latest episode of the public radio show "A Way With Words." The bit of interest starts around minute 32 (two-thirds or so of the way in), at the slang quiz.

(My apologies in advance to my MIT friends. :) )

In other news, I'm still sleepy. I have an afternoon full of meeting. This is not an auspicious combination.

Well done! And I'm totally adopting "pants".

And, um... enjoy your William Safire?

Amusingly enough, I was describing what "having pants" was to someone MIT-related the just other day. He declared it much like "knowing where one's towel was," and I guess I mostly agree.

Congrats on being on the show!
