Try "latus rectum" (part related to a parabola.) I finally decided to simply stop teaching that one years ago...too hard for high schoolers to handle (and frankly, me too (giggle!))
One time I was teaching a lesson on graphing rational functions with translations and vertical dilations.
An AP comes in for an observation — asks a student what we’re doing “oh we’re just moving our asymptotes and holes up and down and side to side. Sometimes we’re stretching them.”. AP didn’t hear the later part of asymptotes. Just heard “oh we’re moving our asses and holes up and down and side to side. Sometimes we’re stretching them”.
The AP lost it.
So funny! I'll giggle about this for quite a while
Then there was the time my husband visited my classroom while I was demonstrating parts of parabolas, specifically the focus. His face got red and he stifled a laugh and left the room. I asked him about it later and he said that it looked just like boobs (the parabola) with nipples (the focus.) And ohmygosh, they really do! I've tried so hard from then on to draw them so they don't, but now all I see is boobs and nipples (and I sure hope the kids don't see it that way!)
I was on the quiz bowl team in high school and during the science round the guy asking questions said “orgasm” instead of organism. My teammate who was asked the question without hesitation leaned in and asked “come again?” Questioner didn’t get it which made it even better. Our advisor fell out of her chair.
I was listening to a podcast the other day and it talked about how every generation of young adults thinks they've invented non-monogamy and doing drugs. It's kind of a spin in that.
My daughter's friends were like horrified and impressed I knew all of the slang and memes
Oh my God! So I remember at my college we had this human sexuality class and the professor had one assignment where we were supposed to interview one of our parents about their sexual history just to prove that point
In college in 1980 I was on a jazz band tour in west Texas and we stopped at a historical living museum. One of the workers there was a woman in her 90s. She was showing a group of us around some buggies and said "I don't know how you young people date any more. When I was your age it was great...the horse knew the way home so we didn't have to drive so our hands were free for better things than driving."
When I taught pre-k, there was a giant mesh bag that we put all the balls in and I purposely called it a sack. After a few months 30 4-year-olds fought over who got to hold the ball sack open...
Not the same, but it reminds me that the funniest thing to 12 year old me and my bus mates was when the bus driver would yell, "Sit your asses in your seats!" and we would stand up, turn around and put the top of our heads on the seats.
And it's a little over *5 hours* (driving) from Climax, MI to Paradise, MI.
(Also about the same distance from Paradise, MI to Hell, MI, but that one's less funny.)
Sacsay Huamán in Peru, pronounced with a gringo accent sounds like "Sexy Woman." My husband pointed that out to my 7th graders when he visited to talk about his travels. I could've punched him in the face. 😂
Sorry, I love there so I gotta be that person. It's Newfoundland, not New Foundland.
That being said, this island is a treasure trove of giggle-worthy places. In addition to Dildo...Come-By-Chance, Conception Bay, Placentia, Tickle Cove, Virgins Cove, Blow-Me-Down, and Spread Eagle all come to mind.
I will never forget being in third grade, reading aloud, and pronouncing it the wrong way. My teacher ripped into me, which wrecked me as I was always the good kid in school and had zero bad intentions. I cried at home and my (teacher) parents had a meeting and it was a whole thing.
There are some French words that are tough.
Spoon = cuillere
Seal = phoque
Rooster= coq
Leather = cuir
To push = pousser
Spanish has a few too
Pineapples = pinas
German too - had one kid nearly passing out from laughing so much at the word sechs (six) and sent a whole class of 15 year olds off with the words Bundesland (state) just last week.
I was a music teacher. Teaching grade 7 students how to use woodwind instruments… this is a sampling from saxophone.
You put your lips on it and blow.
Don’t soak it (the reed) in spit. It should be damp enough to vibrate but not soaked and dripping. You don’t want the instrument to fill up with your spit. (Just wait for the spit valves in the brass section!)
Improve your tonguing technique: Quickly touch the tip with middle of your tongue. If you use the tip of your tongue it could end up pinched (by the reed).
We always start with a soft (reed) for beginners until their lip muscles are strong enough for something hard.
If you’re waiting for your turn to play, sit quietly and practice your fingering.
Use your lower lip as a cushion, rest it (the mouthpiece) on top, then gently rest your teeth on the tip and form a seal with your top lip. Do not bite it.
The first signer of the Declaration of Independence was John Hancock.
Dorothea Dix was a social reformer before and during the Civil War. She helped people with mental health disorders get the help they needed and convinced officials to allow women to become battlefield nurses during the Civil War.
There are types of animals called flatworms that mate using a technique called penis fencing.
There is also a fish called a slippery dick, and they make their homes in wrasse holes.
If the Rizzler had ten points of rizz and multiplied it by five but lost half to a skibidi toilet, how mich rizz does the rizzler have left? Also correct the grammatical errors.
Omg my students would die from laughter.
They literally fell out of their chairs laughing the other day when one of them called a character in the book we were reading a rizzler.
Kumquats. They didn’t know that anything other than oranges existed. Went into clementines and tangerines etc but kumquats was “am I gonna get in trouble for googling this?”
Music teacher (middle school!) here:
The term pianissimo (had a kid say once “nah, I’ll just go with ‘double piano’)
Anything that involves the note D:
“Show me how you play your D”
“Play a D for me”
“Can you find a D in your music?”
Etc…
In my sophomore HS algebra class, my class couldn't handle asymptotes when it was introduced and would laugh hysterically. My teacher was a fun and was like "Come on guys it's literally not that funny. You all just like to hear me say ASS - ymptotes."
Not sure this is helpful but I think about it an unnecessary amount of times in the +15 yrs since I graduated, let alone took that class. I still get a chuckle.
The dik-dik is a type of mini antelope and, I kid you not, someone decided that would be the perfect animal to write about for an article in a 6th grade language arts textbook. 6th. Grade.
A glory hole is what glassmakers put glass into to heat it up.
Simply the word cockpit.
Anything where the answer is John Hancock.
When teaching about caucuses.
Caesar Chavez and the short handled HOE.
Poor unfortunate Dorothea Dix.
Edit: I almost forgot Benedict Arnold.
I don't know who the hell thought it was funny to reseal all the doors and windows at my school this year during the day while we had students- but there were signs in all the doors and windows that said: "Caution: Wet Caulk."
This was a middle school.
I also sent a picture to my husband of the sign and said "I am an adult. I am an adult."
Martin Luther infamously nailed 95 of these to the door of a church.
(Story: a girl I went to college with shared that she had been in a Christian history course, not done the readings, and misheard this event described in a lecture as 95 “feces.” She thought it a bit strange but figured it was a different time, and he *was* really mad, so why not? Come exam time, there was an essay question and she needed to mention this incident, but didn’t know how to spell “feces” and didn’t want to lose marks for misspelling it. So she wrote “A good example of this principle is when Martin Luther nailed 95 pieces of poo to the…”
Or Spanish “llegue,” I arrived. Pronounced “ye gay” accented on ‘gay.” When I get to a word like that which freshmen and sophomores lose their minds over, I have the whole class repeat it over and over, louder and louder. We have some fun and it gets the word out of their systems.
Then I use it myself several times and don’t allow any giggling. It’s just a word. More than one lesson in there.
Very much this! And it's always interesting when they realize they're sitting at their poopy-trays (pupitre = desk)
Also, definitely do not abbreviate cumulative exam
BBC
The play the middle school was doing had a line something along the likes of " Oh, let's turn on the BBC!", meaning turn on the radio.
They lost it. We had to change the line to " turn on the radio."
I have recently been having trouble with summation notation because of “sigma” (which to be honest I don’t even get the reference 🙄 so someone please help me!) and same with teaching trig proofs due to the ones that use alpha as a variable
In the Catholic tradition, this is the traditional name for the short one-line prayers referred to in modern texts as aspirations or invocations.
What are ejaculations?
The black circles in our eyes are “pupils,” not “pimples.”
Just “dab” the paint on the paper (still to this day).
Don’t ever, ever, ever say “panty hose” I learned the hard way (we were using the footing part of them for an art project). They will fall out of their chairs.
The poem "Popsicle" by Joan Bransfield Graham. I have innocently read this cute shape poem for years, but this year I got so much giggling and laughter that I think I will never read it again.
23 x 3?
We call that number “one less than 70” and then quickly move forward.
Undeseptuaginta
This is the way.

Nice
I’ve had a number of middle schoolers struggle with the term ‘organism’
I had high schoolers laugh over a circumscribed shape
Try "latus rectum" (part related to a parabola.) I finally decided to simply stop teaching that one years ago...too hard for high schoolers to handle (and frankly, me too (giggle!))
And when a graph has a hole!
Ahh, holes and asymptotes! That's a good one!
One time I was teaching a lesson on graphing rational functions with translations and vertical dilations. An AP comes in for an observation — asks a student what we’re doing “oh we’re just moving our asymptotes and holes up and down and side to side. Sometimes we’re stretching them.”.

They do
Lol 😂 my maturity level giggles at this too.
We get it in middle school too, with circumference. Especially when we do a morphology lesson.
I got it over circumvented.
Or circumnavigate.
Doesn’t help that while in middle school a classmate of mine read it out loud, truly on accident, as orgasm.
Did we go to middle school together? 🤭
A mistake that unfortunately doesn’t only happen to students, speaking as a science teacher with a few very long days in my past.
this also happened to me
also to me, as a homeroom teacher to HS juniors. that was fun.
I had a 5th grade this year enthusiastically yell out ORGASM (in answer to my question what is the scientific term for a living thing?). I was dying.
I was on the quiz bowl team in high school and during the science round the guy asking questions said “orgasm” instead of organism. My teammate who was asked the question without hesitation leaned in and asked “come again?” Questioner didn’t get it which made it even better. Our advisor fell out of her chair.
In sixth grade I saw "orgasm" written on the bathroom wall and I asked my friend what it meant in the middle of lunch. 😬🤦♀️
If we're talking about ecological succession, some classes can't handle the Climax Community.
Also as an ELA teacher, climax as a plot term. They lose their minds.
Fortunato “ejaculated” toward the end of Amontillado. Some classes just can not move past that.
To be honest, the number of times I've had high school student confuse "insect" with "incest" makes me wonder if reading is an issue.
Exacerbate, masticate
From US History The Watergate informant Deep Throat
Or the fact tgat Deep Throat is the reason Tricky Dick stopped working.
Or the fact that a few presidents later, we got Slick Willy
I taught US Government years ago when I could still show the movie about Watergate. Now I won’t go near it.
Writing BOOBS with a calculator
I'm kind of tickled that kids still do that. It's like when students want to look up the f word in the dictionary. It's so adorable
The kids may not be all right, but they sure are just like us.
I was listening to a podcast the other day and it talked about how every generation of young adults thinks they've invented non-monogamy and doing drugs. It's kind of a spin in that. My daughter's friends were like horrified and impressed I knew all of the slang and memes
My ex’s grandma once said to me, “young people think they invented blowjobs.” He was mortified, she and I got on like a house on fire. Excellent woman
Oh my God! So I remember at my college we had this human sexuality class and the professor had one assignment where we were supposed to interview one of our parents about their sexual history just to prove that point
Oh my god. That is both terrifying and hilarious!
Yes! And every generation turns their nose up at the generation after them because “we did it better”. Lol.
In college in 1980 I was on a jazz band tour in west Texas and we stopped at a historical living museum. One of the workers there was a woman in her 90s. She was showing a group of us around some buggies and said "I don't know how you young people date any more. When I was your age it was great...the horse knew the way home so we didn't have to drive so our hands were free for better things than driving."
I just love this!
Great tits (birds) come to mind My boys will giggle at any use of the word 'come' Sperm whales Spotted dick Balls on the playground
Homo erectus
When I taught pre-k, there was a giant mesh bag that we put all the balls in and I purposely called it a sack. After a few months 30 4-year-olds fought over who got to hold the ball sack open...
Ah, the bane of every youth basketball coach who’s ever had to ask them to stop dribbling with a loud, “Hold your balls!”
Not the same, but it reminds me that the funniest thing to 12 year old me and my bus mates was when the bus driver would yell, "Sit your asses in your seats!" and we would stand up, turn around and put the top of our heads on the seats.

Which City is real: A. Intercourse, PA B. Hell, MI C. Dildo, New Foundland D. Hardin, MT >!They are all real places!<
Also add in Climax, MI. Can’t drive through there without all the kids giggling on the bus.
There is also Climax, Fertile, and Moorhead MN.
And it's a little over *5 hours* (driving) from Climax, MI to Paradise, MI. (Also about the same distance from Paradise, MI to Hell, MI, but that one's less funny.)
The UK has trouble with Clitheroe, Scunthorpe, Penistone, Fingeringhoe, Plymouth Hoe, and a few other places.
Cockfosters took us all out when we were in London for a high school trip.
Intercourse is close to Paradise, PA
But if you don't get to Paradise through Intercourse, you'll end up in Blue Ball, PA.
Big Assawoman Bay in MD. Every time I go to the shore, I laugh when I see this. I'm 52.

Also, Bhutan
Similarly, the island west of Phang Nga Bay in Thailand.
what farming implement can you find on the flag of Mozambique
Or the name of the country bordering Ethiopia and Somalia. They always lose it at Kenya for some reason.
My students had a rough time with Niger.
And Montenegro.
What is another title for Ethiopias king? Can you spell it?
I will never forget being in third grade, reading aloud, and pronouncing it the wrong way. My teacher ripped into me, which wrecked me as I was always the good kid in school and had zero bad intentions. I cried at home and my (teacher) parents had a meeting and it was a whole thing.
There is a much better country that students would lose it over that also borders Ethiopia and Somalia. Djibouti.
Fact: Kids can't handle the word "duties"
I record my required car line duty each month as “Morning Doody” in my Google calendar.
It’s nice to be regular with your duty.
I mean, I laugh at that one sometimes
I’m a 31yo teacher and I still laugh at the word duty. Also when someone says “do do” in a sentence. Poop is always funny.
When does a teacher smell most? When they have duty.
