The sorriest day of my entire life was when I taught a classroom of 10 year olds. "High five! Up high! Down low! Too slow!"

Please share.

Not me, but another teacher at a school I worked at a few years ago had taught their students "just because". When the classes were shifted and I got some of that teacher's students, I got that reply WAY too often. I had to ban it in my classroom....annoying~.

"_____ suck(s)!"

Not bad in any classes I mentioned it before, but my Tourism majors have to say it every class now. I'm teaching food: "Bondaegi sucks!". I'm teaching hobbies: "Hiking sucks!". I'm talking about entertainers: "Shin Hyun-joon sucks!" We're discussing sports: "The Hyundai Unicorns suck!"

No, shut up, you human vacuum cleaners. You manage to suck and blow at the same time.

LOL, the first thing I thought before clicking was "high five!" I'm happy to see I'm not the only one that fell into that trap.
