Joshua McNeill<p>Strange to not have any <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Labov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Labov</span></a> quotes to share that I find poignant despite being the giant of <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a> and despite how much of his work I've read.

Joshua McNeill<p>As an American, "pissed up" is a new one for me.
