Is There a Content Warning for This Episode?

There's a bit of a content warning for this episode, because slang is sometimes not very nice and sometimes not very fair. Sometimes it involves slurs and even terms about sexual assault. We're going to try to handle it as maturely and surgically as we can. Our most recent bonus episode was a mailbag with our pal and ABC language guy, Tiger Web. I like hearing about the way that linguists work in practice - he has a very practical, down-to-earth job.
