Anagramming for Fun and Radio with Shadowy Raw Wit

You’re listening to A Way with Words. I’m Grant Barrett.

And I’m Martha Barnette. And boy, are we glad to be back.

Grant, how glad are we to be back with a brand new show and a brand new season of A Way with Words?

We’re as happy as a dog with two tails. We’re wagging on both ends.

And I’m feeling, as we say in the South, finer than frog hair split four ways.

And the good news is that in the meantime, we’ve been very, very busy.

In fact, we invite you to visit the new A Way with Words website, where we have a brand new discussion forum for word lovers.

You’ll find our new site at waywordradio.org.

Well done, Grant.

And, you know, speaking of, one discussion that I’ve really enjoyed on our forum lately is titled Howdy, a Wits War.

Now, Grant, when you saw that name, Howdy, a Wits War, did you have any idea what that conversation was going to be about?

I had no idea because, you know, people throw language questions at us from all corners.

You never know what they’re going to ask.

Yeah, well, you know, I looked at that and it looked so weird that I started thinking about it.

Howdy, a wits war.

And I realized that it was an anagram of A Way with Words.

In the same thread somebody said, A Way with Words could also be shadowy raw wit.

Yeah, and I figured you would like that, shadowy raw wit.

Anyway, if you have shadowy raw wit or a favorite anagram to share,

Or if you have a question or comment about any aspect of language,

Wordplay, word origins, grammar, slang, give us a call.

The number is 877-929-9673.

Or send us an email at our brand new email address, words@waywordradio.org.
