  • "It's not a country with one linguistic identity and has never been. This country has never only spoken English. It has never once, ever, only been a single linguistic entity and never will be."

  • "Slang has this ability to help us identify who belongs, who's an insider, who's an outsider, and where we fit into the group as well."

  • "Humans are incredibly creative. We love to toy around with language. It's one of the most interesting things we do."
