Speech taboos being analyzed by two great linguists over breakfast was the highlight of @TheFIREorg conference for me. Hard for my panel on dissent in medicine and science to compete with euphemisms for feces & other words/slurs! @sapinker @JohnHMcWhorter

Thank God it's Friday. At @TheFIREorg's Soapbox conference, listening to @sapinker and @JohnHMcWhorter discussing speech taboos over breakfast. Incredible conference.
