N-words, di Ted Kosmatka

Tutti sanno cosa significa "the N-Word" in inglese, e se non lo sai guarda questo divertente video e capirai. E se invece in futuro "La parola con la N" prendesse un significato completamente diverso come ... Neanderthal?

Una bellissima storia di Ted Kosmatka resa disponibile come audiolibro gratuito da Escape Pod:
