Description

In this podcast episode, we explore the slang and local jargon used in Iowa. Symon and Anne share some unique Iowa expressions and what they mean. They discuss the use of "bro" and how it has made a comeback, but in the classroom, Symon prefers to be addressed by his formal name, Mr. Sanborn. They also talk about "Kaipo" which is the name of the company that provides Porta Potties in Iowa, and how people use it as a substitute for the term "Porta Potty." The highlight of the conversations is when they explain the concept of "going gravel" which means taking a dirt road instead of the main highway. They also share some personal experiences of how friendly and helpful Iowans are to each other, regardless of where they live in the state. Additionally, the hosts touch on the pastime of driving around on gravel roads, which some Iowans enjoy. The episode offers a glimpse into the unique language and culture of Iowa.
