Somebody needs to get this bitchy biddy to the next American Folklore Society conference.
Particularly because “wondering” and Google are often hot topics of presentation and discussion. I once got the ball rolling by trying to draw a divide between the meaning of “folklorist” in respect to academic and civilian parlances. (In civilian, it means “scholar and collector of folklore”, in academic it means “practitioner of the study of folkloristics” – complete contrasts. Which is why I suggested the academic meaning be modified into the more technically accurate “folkloristician”.)
