Grant Barrett: 我一直在研究徒步旅行者的语言，他们从墨西哥一直徒步到加拿大。我发现了一些有趣的术语，比如“nobo”、“sobo”和“yo-yo”，它们分别代表北行、南行和往返。徒步旅行的语言非常丰富，我想在节目中更多地讨论它。 Martha Barnett: 徒步旅行的语言不仅仅是术语，它还反映了一种文化和社区。徒步旅行者之间会形成独特的联系，他们会互相帮助，分享经验。这种文化非常吸引人，值得我们去了解。

Shownotes Transcript

What's it like to hike the Pacific Crest Trail all the way from Mexico to Canada? You'll end up with sore muscles and blisters, and great stories to tell. Along the way, you'll also pick up some slang, like NoBo, SoBo, Yo-yo . . . and Hike Naked Day, an annual event that's, well, pretty much what it sounds like. Plus, which came first, the color orange or the name of the pulpy fruit? And if you have a pain in the pinny, what part of your body hurts? Hint: pass the Pepto-Bismol! Also, a brain-busting puzzle, qualtaagh, media naranja, tougher than a boiled owl, zero day, nero day, trail names, how to pronounce caramel, not a Scooby Doo, and a cloud of whale dust.
