Last night, as I got into bed, I mentioned to my wife that I had read an interesting article on the work of Con Slobodchikoff, a Northern Arizona University biology professor and "prairie dog linguist." In the article, Dr. Slobodchikoff says that he's uncovered twenty or so "words" that Prairie Dogs use among themeselves, including a word for humans. When I said this to my wife, she said, "Really? What is it?" :)
I guess I had a really flabbergasted look on my face because she then burst out laughing for five minutes. How the hell do I know what a "word" is that a Prairie Dog would use? :) Ask Dr. Slobodchikoff! :)
