Michael Rosen on BBC Radio 4’s Word of Mouth this week features the word ‘chugger’, the firmly established pejorative term applied to street face-to-face fundraisers.
Rosen explores the language of face-to-face fundraisers and street vendors to find out which words work best.
It was broadcast this afternoon, and will be broadcast again on Monday 14 May 2012 on BBC Radio 4 at 23.00.
It can also be listened to now via BBC iPlayer, and a short excerpt is also available:
