Occasionally I think we all come across students who are just crying out to be thrown a wild card.
One I've always wanted to do to the archetypal vulgar, arrogant Latin teenager is " My name is Juan (or whatever). I am from Spain. I am a Spanner."
A more complex one for irritating adults. First explain that when out in company with a female companion in English-speaking countries it is normal for the male to accompany her to the toilet, before himself going to the Gents, and that when leaving the table the correct form is to say " We're just going to the toilet for a quick shag", explaining that a shag is a wash and brush-up.
Has anyone else whiled away the odd idle classsroom minute thinking of such pedagogical devilment? |
