Talkin' $h*t

On this episode we explore the origins of one of the oldest swear words in the English language, shit.  We talk with linguist and "Assent of the A-Hole" author Geoff Nunberg, "the psychologist of swearing" Timothy Jay, and Randall Eggert, professor of "Bad Words & Taboo Terms" at the University of Utah, to find out why it is still one of the most popular and versatile words - even after centuries of use.
