| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners, it's just me today. |
| 0:09.8 | So I was teaching class a couple days ago, and I was talking with my students, and a |
| 0:17.8 | couple of times the students would say a word that was a sort of pet peeve of mine. |
| 0:24.3 | Like one student used the word committed suicide, for example, she was like, oh, well, so |
| 0:33.7 | and so committed suicide, and I just sort of catalogged it away. |
