The 2010 winner of the "Best Picture" Oscar has a Seattle woman wondering about the term hurt locker. Ben Zimmer wrote about it recently in his column at the Visual Thesaurus and we talk about it, too. Here's the searing poem by Brian Turner called "The Hurt Locker." This is part of a complete episode.
