I had one class write short essays daily about what they did in their content classes. One DWC debutante, referring to a counselor Margaret (Peggy), said "Today we had visit from Miss Piggy."
Another one said a computer instructor "give us a lot of s*hit."
She meant "sheets." |

Dear Noor,
It's good that you're an EFLer and not, say, someone whose job entails the changing of bed sheets.
Regards,
