In June 2018, we appeared in San Antonio, Texas, to support San Antonio Youth Literacy in conjunction with Texas Public Radio. While there, Martha picked up the term blowin’ and goin’, a rhyming compound that means extremely busy, booming, or thriving. This is part of a complete episode.

I learned a phrase that was new to me when you and I went to San Antonio recently to do an appearance on behalf of San Antonio Youth Literacy.
Right.
We also made a lot of new friends at Texas Public Radio.
And when I was in conversation with one of the staffers there, she said, yeah, San Antonio is really blowing and going.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that.
I didn’t know that expression.
It just means booming, right?
Yeah, booming.
Busy, busy, busy.
Just going all the time.
Blowing and going.
Blowing and going.
I have to add that to my rhyming compounds list.
Yes.
I thought you would enjoy that.
