yet another thing from national Public Radio

[healingmirth]

NPR's Code Switch blog has been running a bunch of posts about the racial/ethnic/national origins or connotations of English-language phrases. Today's is "honcho" and earlier this week they did "grandfather clause.". I can't for the life of me remember the other ones, and they've been by different authors, so I'm sorry that I don't have links or a more handy referral, but the blog is worth at least a scroll through for more reasons than that. http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/


I should probably make an NPR icon...
