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.

أيها الرب سيد حياتي لا تبليني بروح البطالة والفضول. وحب الرئاسة والكلام البطال. بل أنعم علي أنا عبدك بروح العفة والاتضاع والصبر والمحبة. نعم أيها الرب الملك هب لي أن أرى زلاتي. ولا أدين أخي. فإنك مبارك إلى دهر الدهرين آمين

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 believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father through Whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets.
In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the age to come.
Amen.

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.
