Episode 8
Today’s episode is the second part of a two-part series on language, looking at phrases we use all the time, but which on closer examination are a bit weird, misleading or funny. Features:
- Bears, hares and wondering where – notes on the hilarious linguistic laziness of Kiwi English
- Stars, lasers and taxi cabs – the glorious (and mixed) metaphors of workplace language
- An examination of idioms and phrases I never quite understood as a kid – and still don’t, really
