86: Mailbag of Dog Sushi (with Nicole Holliday)

We've got mail, and linguistic MVP Dr Nicole Holliday is here to help us sort some things out around here. And we chat about the state of lingcomm today.

  • Why is dog sushi made FOR dogs, but duck sushi is made FROM ducks?
  • What do we call it generally when companies try to improve their image by -washing?
  • Is the term "MVP" becoming uncoupled from sports?
  • Will vaping kill your vocal fry?
  • Are shibboleths made on purpose, as a way of creating an in-group and an out-group?
