Martha Barnett: 我对金属探测这个新的爱好很感兴趣，特别是它的俚语。我了解到金属探测领域有很多独特的词汇，比如coinball指的是里面有硬币的一块泥土，而canslaw是指被割草机碾过后剩下的铝罐碎片，我觉得这个词非常形象。Nighthawk是指晚上非法探测的人，而Gold Dance是指你真正发现金子时所做的动作，想象一下发现金子时快乐地跳舞，真是太有趣了。现在金属探测在美国正变得非常流行，你可以在Instagram上看到很多时尚女性分享她们的金属探测照片。我之后会继续分享更多关于金属探测的语言。 Grant Barrett: 除非你穿白色袜子配凉鞋，并且有个“老爹身材”，否则你不可能成为真正的金属探测影响者。金属探测领域还有一些有趣的俚语，比如joke tag是指发现没有价值的东西，并在上面放一个罗马时代的硬币，但实际上只是一个旧芬达的拉环。人们把拉环叫做beaver tails。金属探测者之间还会互相开玩笑，joke tag是一种用来对其他探测者开玩笑的工具，上面写上你的名字，然后留给别人发现。还有rhubar是指埋藏很久的金属锈迹斑斑，无法辨认。dials and smiles是指那些真正喜欢调整探测器拨盘的人。

Shownotes Transcript

People who hunt treasure with metal detectors have a lingo all their own. Canslaw means the shreds of aluminum cans left after a lawnmower ran over them. And gold dance? That's what you do if you turn up something far more valuable than parts of an old beer can. Plus, a splendid new dictionary offers an in-depth look at the rich language of Southern Appalachia, from parts of West Virginia to Georgia. And why do television announcers greet viewers with the phrase "Welcome back" after a commercial break? Weren't they the ones who went away? Plus, coinball, bacon bats, Katzensprung, quote unquote vs. quote end quote, a quiz about synonyms, joke tags, dials and smiles, low sick, took a dump, and Get out of my bathtub!
