Did you know that slang has a shelf life? Once a word or phase starts being used by a different generation, it often dies out. The internet has accelerated the spread of new words and promoted their acceptance into mainstream conversations. How we access word play, trends and jargon in a positive way that supports brands, companies and the average person is really up to that individual's communication style. We discover from our expert guests that learning is never truly over, especially when it comes to the words we use. Brian P. Cleary, an award winning author, shares that metaphors are like snap shots of people. Grant Barrett, co- host of Way with Words Radio, sees books and words as pockets of air in an upturned boat. Martha Barnette, the other co-host of Way with Words, explained that language is fossil poetry.

Is language a miracle? Or is it a playground? Maybe it's just a form of communication? Regardless, using words to understand and be understood is a basic human need. How do we navigate jargon, dialects and figurative language? Where do our words come from and why does it matter?  Brian P Cleary is an author and speaker whose books entertain and educate. Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett are co-hosts of Way With Words, the radio show that examines the history, culture and background of words. This trio of guests share insight that helps us learn how to capitalize on the words we use.
