Kirby Conrod Put Their Whole Podcussy Into This One
Added 2023-01-21 15:23:49 +0000 UTCThis month, we're Doing Journalism about a gay linguistic triumph! Friend of the show Kirby Conrod and their merry crew of linguists successfully campaigned to declare "-ussy" the word of the year (despite being a suffix), and we've got SO much to say about it. Topics include:
- Is bussy gender-neutral?
- Why are there so many Words of the Year, and why are they all connected to trans people this year?
- Why are trans people natural linguists?
- How do dictionaries work?!
- Does SpongeBob have a SpongeBussy?
- Why do the press keep using pictures of Lil Nas X in their -ussy articles??
- Does bussy imply the existence of gussy??
As always, please share your commentussy and feedbussy :)
