  • Insurance isn't one size fits all,

  • and shopping for it shouldn't feel like squeezing into something that just doesn't fit.

  • That's why drivers have enjoyed Progressive's Name Your Price tool for years.

  • With the Name Your Price tool, you tell them what you want to pay,

  • and they show you options that fit your budget.

  • Enough hunting for discounts, trying to calculate rates, and tinkering with coverages.

  • Maybe you're picking out your very first policy.

  • Or maybe you're just looking for something that works better for you and your family.

  • Either way, they make it simple to see your options.

  • No guesswork, no surprises.

  • Ready to see how easy?

  • And fun shopping for car insurance can be?

  • Visit progressive.com and give the Name Your Price tool a try.

  • Take the stress out of shopping and find coverage that fits your life on your terms.

  • Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates.

  • Price and coverage match limited by state law.

  • From Booksmart Studios, this is Lexicon Valley, a podcast about language.

  • I'm Bob Garfield with Mike Vuolo, and today we'll talk about a common prefix that is attached to dozens of words,

  • and we'll discuss in depth one of those examples in particular.

  • Hey, Mikey.
