What's a familect? The words only your family uses

1230. This week, the whole show is about familects, the words and phrases you only use with your family. We look at where they come from and what they do, how the same thing happens among friends and fans, and why borrowing someone else's insider words can backfire.

A hearty thank-you to our Keepers of the Commas on Patreon. We appreciate your support!
