We continue a Connections tradition by discussing new words added to the dictionary this year. Maybe you're a "normie" and don't know these 250 new words, even though your "grauntie" did. It's okay; just text a "shruggie" to your friends. We'll take a quiz this hour to test our guests' knowledge and yours, so get a pen and paper and get ready to learn some new words. We'll also talk about the origins of language and how it changes over time. In studio:
- Amanda Chestnut, artist and communications coordinator at Flower City Arts Center
- Maya Abtahian, assistant professor of linguistics at the University of Rochester
- Dan Mulcahy, creative director for Bush Communications
- Chris Fanning, director of communications for Writers & Books
