MetaFilter was mentioned twice on A Way With Words.

I love A Way With Words. I doesn't surprise me at all that Grant is a Mefite. I'm always amazed when someone calls in with an obscure saying. Grant, ever unflappable, will say something like, "Oh yes. That saying comes from Utah, of course. It dates back to the Tintic War in 1856 when..."

Rumple: "Pronounced "Meat-tah" BTW."
The guy can't be right about everything.
