**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.
