Hello, I am starting a Linguistics Tea Room.
Please come in, bring your favorite linguistics books, and have some tea and some British biscuits (aka American cookies).
Ask questions, share linguistics jokes, and demystify Noam Chomsky.
Now I gotta invite Greg to see if he will bring in a platter of baklava.

This is a place where you can speak in English and ask questions about languages, dialects, code-switching, gestures, body language, and humor.

He is a great maker of baklava.
Wish I had some of his recipes.

My family moved a few times when I was young - I found it fascinating that the contents of the Thanksgiving turkey could be called stuffing, filling, or wadding (depending on the region)

I wonder if Dr. Labov has that word on his linguistic maps.
He has the bucket and pail on his list as different regions prefer different names for the same item.
Have you seen his maps? College websites have free access I think. However, it is about $499 I think if you would like to purchase that word Atlas. It is online.

Wadding? That seems so odd. I've only ever heard wadding used for something like cloth or paper. If I heard that it would be very unappetizing 'cause I'd picture the turkey stuffed with rags (or maybe gum). |

This sounds interesting !
(I do recall a "carbonated beverage term" map from about 7 years ago - wonder if this is related ???)

Yes I do remember the carbonated beverage item with the following list:
soda
pop
cola
fizzy
etc.
That was part of his atlas.

Yes, wadding sounds like something surgical used to soak up bodily fluids. Therefore it does not sound very appetizing.
