Paula's been trying to expand her vocabulary for a year now. Why won't the new words take? And why do certain "bad words" linger? Linguist Dr. David Goldstein from UCLA is here to explain it all. And we unbox this Christmas' hot toy: The Blume Doll. Plus we give you an update on the season's <em>other</em> hot toy: Poundstone's Pussy Pillows. All this and a llama too!
