16 分钟From Washington DC, this is Lexicon Valley, a podcast about language.
I'm Mike Vuelo, and today we have something a little different.
Bob Garfield and I were recently guests on The Gist with Mike Peska.
It's a long-running podcast about politics and culture and pretty much everything else.
We were invited on to talk about, among other things, the dictionary.com choice for word of the year, which is 6-7.
That's an insanely popular meme among teenagers in particular, but then it spread to their teachers and their parents, and now everybody knows about it.
But almost nobody knows the full story behind it or what it even means.
So here is the segment from the gist about 6-7.
So my guess, do I even have to say more?
They are Mike Volo and Bob Garfield.
They are the current and original hosts of Lexicon Valley.
In the meantime, there were some Interregna.
John McWater ably hosted, still a beloved member of the Lexicon Valley family, but the originals have taken it back.
John will contribute on occasion.
We've had John on the show.
I can't believe that I've never had a man I consider my mentor and a man I consider my attention.
Italian, Jewish, Pizon, Landsman, Mike Folo, and Bob Garfield.
Welcome to the gist.
Well, thank you, Mike.
Thank you.
