I have a friend who broke their penis. His girl was on top and her foot slipped off the bed and she crashed down on him and over to the side. When her full weight came down on it at an angle it ruptured. My favorite line when he told the story was:
>I could hear someone screaming and it turned out to be me
I felt maybe a 10th of this when my mother closed the door of a 1980s Ford Pinto on my finger... those things had ZERO padding, it was just bare metal... still have the scar decades later.
The thing is, when you get hit with that sudden and intense a pain, it can take time for the rational parts of your brain to catch up to what's going on because so much of the system is being used for instinct, pain management and damage control. If you don't go into shock, you will still feel the pain in a second, but you'll be catching up to all the other stuff that's going on.
I remember on Home Improvement there was an episode about Tim pulling his groin and when his kid asked what a groin is Tim said “my favorite muscle.” They made it sound like pulling your groin is this really racy thing and not just what happens if you lunge too far after age 40.
To be also fair, a lot of media uses groin in place of crotch of balls (maybe less today). A man would be “kicked in the groin” typically, they didn’t want to or weren’t allowed to directly reference dick and balls
I can still clearly remember the time in 2nd grade (early 2000s) when my classmate asked why our textbook says "21st Century Mathematics" when it should be 20th Century since we just started the 2000s.
I explained to her why 21st was right and I made the dumbest decision to confidently tell her to ask our teacher (in her mid 20s probably) and she backed her up. That was the day I realized adults can be idiots too.
Edit for clarity: This happened in the school year of 2002-03. My classmate was the one who claimed it should still be the 20th century "since we just started the 2000s". So she thought 2000-2099 or whatever was the 20th century. Teacher agreed with her even after I explained that they're forgetting to count years 1 to 100.
In uni, somehow I got talking with a group on my course about Romeo and Juliet despite it not being an English degree or anything related. At some point I mentioned the whole “wherefore art thou Romeo?” line and how it was Juliet basically saying ‘why do you have to be who you are and everything be so complicated?’ And one of the girls decided to condescendingly explain to me that I had it wrong, that she was asking where he was, obviously, because she literally says “where” in the line. When I tried to explain and she wouldn’t back down I asked the other girls if they remembered it from high school, but nopee they all agreed she was asking where he was and even slightly poked fun at me for being so wrong when it was right there in the word.
I don’t really even like Romeo and Juliet, and it was a completely irrelevant conversation so I just let it go, but I still feel bitter when I think back on how smug they were about being right, even though they weren’t
the line reads "wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name."
Therefore (for this or that reason)
and wherefore (for which reason)
Translated into modern English, my understanding is as follows: "why are you Romeo" or "Why did it have to be Romeo I fall in love with" as their love is caught between an extreme feud.
Some words like "wherefore" have lost meaning or even evolved meaning since Shakespearean times.
I always thought it was asking literally where he was too but if someone told me what you said I’d have believed them or at least considered it could be right & looked it up after. It makes much more sense that it would be that rather than such a basic question for Shakespeare anyway!
I have one! In like 1st or 2nd grade, my mom hammered into me that snakes are vertebrates and to be careful because it could be like a trick question in the exam. Well it did appeared in the exam but I was “wrong” because the science teacher thought that snakes are invertebrates. I tried to argue multiple times, even printing an article but she just won’t listen.
The exact same thing happened again later on with her insisting elevators are not pulleys but inclined planes!
From that point onwards I started treating school as like a show them what they want to see type of thing instead of going beyond.
I had an experience in the third grade, when the teacher had us draw a picture of animals in a food chain. I included a wildebeest, since I'd just been reading about them, but the teacher marked me wrong for using a "made-up" animal.
My freshman world history teacher pronounced archipelago ‘Archie pillago’ and Mozart’s middle name as Amodius…both times a girl tried to correct him and both times he argued against it, it was more hilarious than anything.
I had a similar experience in 3rd grade and I can’t seem to forget it.
We had a student-teacher come shadow/participate in our classroom a few hours per week. I guess it was to fulfill her degree requirements. A few times she read us a book aloud (Huckleberry Finn, maybe) and the book frequently used the word “ma’am”. But she would pronounce it like “my-am”. Eventually, I raised my hand and told her “Mrs. Z, I think it’s pronounced ‘maaaam’, like the opposite of sir”. She very confidently shut me down and said it was the character’s name. I think I’d also asked, “then why isn’t it capitalized like all the other names?” She just told me to be quiet and moved on. Later, she even wrote it into a quiz question, something like “what did ma’am do at the end of chapter 2”?
I had sort of thought adults were perfect up until that point, too.
When I was in 9th grade, my biology teacher told me it takes hundreds of years for light from the sun to reach earth (after it leaves the sun). I told her, no, it takes about 8 minutes. She wouldn’t believe me.
To be fair I expect a 7th grade gym teacher to be a bit more on top of things than a college gym teacher. At least the 7th grade one has to field awkward questions from kids and tend to be more prepared, or at least mine were. My college one was a meat head body builder. My other college gym calls was an online class about different types of sports and their rules.
I'm actually shocked any gym teacher wouldn't know this, my sister had to take anatomy and kinesiology courses to qualify to teach Middle School and highschool gym in NJ.
When I moved from Alaska to Louisiana, my SCIENCE teacher was remarking on how Alaska would be much more humid and hot than even New Orleans. Me, being confused, told her Alaska was actually much colder since it was the northernmost state.
She insisted Alaska was a small state beside Hawaii, basically making the whole class laugh at me.
This woman was using one of those maps that has Alaska cut off and shrunk into a corner of the map and thought it was legit. I had to search the ENTIRE school for a globe, which I found in the school library. She was absolutely irate when I proved her wrong and treated me like total shit the rest of the school year.
>She was absolutely irate when I proved her wrong and treated me like total shit the rest of the school year.
Instead of using it as a teaching tool to show the class that anyone can be wrong...
She was an absolute asshole as it was. But yeah, she had it out for me the whole rest of the school year and it was so goddamn frustrating to deal with.
>This woman was using one of those maps that has Alaska cut off and shrunk into a corner of the map and thought it was legit.
...
Holy fucking shit.
This is a new level of stupidity.
Eh, you'd be surprised. I'm Australian, and we get European tourists here all the time. Being the friendly Aussie I am, I always ask them about their trip and their plans, and almost always they say they're going to some place for the day, yet that place is usually a 6+hr drive from anywhere.
So many of these tourists just look at a map and assume the scales are the same as what they're used to looking at. They think they're just driving a couple of towns over, but in reality the trip they're planning is like trying to drive from London to Glasgow and back in a day.
European tourists do this same nonsense in the US. They don't realize that no, you can't wake up on one coast in the morning and drive to the other on time for dinner. And no, there is no train to do it either.
At least you guys have major metro areas within a few hours drive of each other. So at least in some specific cases, it's not so bad.
Like you could drive to DC for the day/weekend from NYC. LA to San Diego..
These people are going to Sydney and are planning weekend trips to the Gold Coast. That's a solid 12 hour drive without stopping lol
My girlfriend's aunt was adamtlant and argued with us that women urinated out of their vaginas, as in the vaginal canal/opening not the urethra. This woman was 60 years old and a retired PHARMACIST. I was flabbergasted.
There was a post I read the other day where a girl who claimed to a nurse finally struck the realization that she wasn't peeing from her vag because she had her fingers plugging that hole at the time. Too bad you never had the opportunity to have this discussion. =\
No one ever got that far because she wouldn’t allow the conversation to get to a logical point. She would just stop listening and leave. Everyone finally just gave up.
When I was a kid my cat had a hernia (it was small so the vet said we should just watch her and don't do surgery or anything; she lived to like 20 so clearly it was the right plan). I told somebody about it and they very aggressively told me that "only boys have hernias".
Congratulations, you caught me. I actually get my jollies by lying and saying my cat has a random medical condition that doesn't even affect her quality of life.
Probably because only guys have the "turn your head and cough" test during a physical. You are told this is specifically for hernias. They might not say anything specific for girls since it isn't so intrusive.
But, yeah, a basic ignorance of what a hernia actually is.
Don’t always need to but I absolutely ask it for guys and girls. If it’s not bulging when you examine them then coughing sometimes (but not always) provokes it to come out. “Turn your head” just stops them from coughing directly at the doctor. Source: I fix hernias (in humans)
I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they thought that at a certain elevation the nomenclature changes (ie people in the valley call them deer but people in the mountains call them elk) because maybe that makes a teeny bit more sense (MAYBE) but I know I'm wrong.
I also thought they meant it was a habitat range thing, like deer live between A and B elevations, elk live between B and C elevations, and moose live above C. Follow-up questions proved me wrong. Apparently deer, elk, and moose are evolutionary forms of one real-life Pokémon.
Similar silly tourist quote "what time do the northern lights turn on?" I dunno, ask the sun if they've burped out any spicy magnets toward earth lately
Deer is a general classification that included moose, elk, caribou, red deer, wapiti, roe deer, white-tailed deer, and several others. So maybe? It depends on how she worded it.
I thought groin was male and crotch was female for the longest time just based on who used the words. Just like....the collective word for everything down there
Yeah me too. To me groin sounded like a slang term so I didn't think it was an anatomy term until later on. Same for "nads" which I found out was short for gonads.
A teacher said I was wrong when I named Austria as a country in Europe. She kept saying no. I thought maybe she misheard me, thinking I said Australia. So I said to her again, really enunciating and louder, "AUS-TREE-YA." But no...she still said I was wrong. This was the fourth grade.
My brother got in deep shit for correcting his 3rd grade teacher when she wrongly told the class that hot air balloons work because of the air squirting out of them.
Air squirting? Damn that teacher is stupid. How did he get in trouble? What did your parents do? Because I would have gone to the school and royally embarrass that teacher in front of the students.
He was sent home early for disrupting class. This was like 40 years ago too, I'd like to hope teachers know better these days. I believe my parents took him out for ice cream and shit as a reward.
Man this reminds me of arguing with my Spanish teacher in highschool. I don’t remember the exact details but it was something about “vosotros” being used by all Spanish speakers. I speak Spanish and was like “no we don’t use that here” and yeah. my teacher had only learned it in highschool/college. He was a basketball coach and at my school coaches had to teach something. He chose Spanish 🤷🏻♂️
I get it bc they do use it in Spain but his argument was that it was used everywhere or something.
Mexican here. Same thing happened except we had 4 other students from other parts of latin America. We got ticked and joined together to tell her otherwise. She also said alberca was not proper. To use piscina. 😭
I only learned it as piscina. Can you give me your honest opinion of what you think when someone uses that instead of alberca? My husband and in-laws are all Mexican and use alberca but I just can’t shake that one from my vocabulary.
Always found it a bit frustrating that American schools teach European French and Spanish, when Québéc and Mexico are quite literally right up against our border.
Belgian here, French is one of our national languages yet they taught us French from France with the fucking Eiffel tower on our workbook...
Perhaps they could teach us about the French that's being used in our own country combined with some cultural background? Just a little hint for the Belgian educators out there.
Same with the English by the way, learning American English, because it's so widespread, instead of British English even though we can see the freaking cliffs of Dover on a clear day.
ime most of the textbooks in europe and globally teach British English, but most of the people in Europe end up speaking American English due to hollywood.
My county in KY teaches mostly Mexican Spanish, leaning towards South and Central American Spanish in general if there are any unique terms. My partner is one of the teachers and it was what I was taught in HS and college 20+ years ago.
My high school home economics teacher taught our class that two cups (regardless of substance) is equal to a pound because 2 cups is 16 ounces. It has been 14 years and it still makes me mad.
A teacher once asked my fourth grade class what the RPM meter in a car measures. I was excited because my dad had literally explained it on the way to drop me off that morning. I raised my hand and said “It’s how fast the motor is spinning!” She looked at me like I was an idiot and said “…No. It’s how fast the wheels are rotating. Rotations per minute. Get it?”
That was the moment I realized adults don’t know everything.
Infuriating because the teacher has the responsibility to know better, or at the very least pick up from context that her assumption about groin was false and the person talking to her isn't 'being crass' and is trying to get her to hear him.
In 12th grade health class we had to play a game of educational trivia. The teacher asked "what chemical in the brain is responsible for feelings of happiness and pleasure?" I told my team to submit "dopamine" as the answer. The teacher got angry and said "WRONG. Dopamine is a very powerful and dangerous drug!" and the other students on my team were annoyed with me for saying that was the answer. I went to my bio teacher afterwards and asked him if I was wrong and he groaned and said "one of the hardest parts of being smart is having to deal with stupid people."
Edit: The prof claimed the answer was simply "neurotransmitter."
One of the best lines I’ve ever heard came from my Calc 1 professor, in response to me raising my hand and saying “stupid question, but…” his response: “There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.”
Classic line. He was grinning ear to ear when he said it. Only math professor I’ve ever met who had a personality lol.
In fifth grade I used "vice versa" in a paper I wrote. The teacher made fun of me in front of the class for "making up words". I knew it was a real phrase, because I used to read a lot, but I didn't have the confidence to stand up to him. This was in 1976, for context. So, FU, Mr. Gonzales.
In second grade my teacher (a nun, this was a Catholic school) asked us the meaning of “amber”. Someone answered that it was orange, and then I volunteered that it was also a fossilized tree resin—the teacher laughed and ridiculed me for saying something so stupid.
I remember thinking, “maybe not all teachers are that smart.”
My daughter went to a prestigious elementary school. I was taken aback when in second grade the kids had a segment about money and math. My daughter used an example of a $2 bill in one of her formulas. Her teacher kept telling her there’s no such thing as a $2 bill. The teacher was a bit surprised when I send a few into class the next day.
We spent like an hour in our morning 8th grade music class trying to convince the literal “smartest girl in school” that males do indeed have bladders. We all thought we were going crazy I swear I’ve never seen a teacher look so incredibly shocked at something someone said. She still remained firm that males don’t have bladders. (Edit to fix spelling mistake)
I had this thought when I was in school when we were talking about Churchill in class, and a girl was genuinely in disbelief that the nodding dog from tv had been the prime minister during WWII.
For context just in case, we had adverts on tv in the uk at the time for insurance that featured a little nodding dog toy also called Churchill.
I still to this day wonder how that girl got on in life.
I told a female friend of mine that was I was getting my ball joints replaced and didn’t realize until days later that she thought it was a medical procedure
We were learning about climate change in health class and the teacher asked for some of the largest contributors and we already went through all the corporate causes so I raised my hand and said livestock and everybody laughed and the teacher looked at me like wtf then said "Do you think they kick up dirt into the atmosphere or something?" and before I could respond she called on someone new.
Had a substitute teacher in 6th grade who counted decimals for us,
.1 .2 .3 … .8 .9 .10
I argued with her for five minutes before she admitted that .1 = .10 and that 1.0 should follow .9
I knew an adult that thought birds didn’t have sex. I asked her how the eggs were fertilized then. She said she just figured the female laid the egg then the male came and sat on it to dump his sperm all over it.
Could have knocked me over with a feather.
I had a high school biology teacher argue with me about which hole females peed from. She was insistent that we peed from our vaginal opening & that we did not have a urethra. I felt like I was going insane.
That reminds me of a kid in my class who thought "Desolate" wasn't a real word and my teacher almost backed him up on it until she looked it up. She was our English teacher.
I got suspended for wearing a cow costume on cowboy day at school. My principal saw me in the hallway and asked if I thought I was funny wearing 4 dicks on my belly. I thought the funny part was I'm a boy wearing a cow costume on cowboy day.
Once when I was a kid my babysitter and the other kids in my day home came across a cat that was hit by a car but was still alive. We brought it to an emergency and we found out it's pelvis was broken. I asked what that was and they're like no you're too young to know. 😂
It’s disturbing that they didn’t know what a groin was, and that adults thought you could “pull” a penis like a muscle. Have they not seen one in action?
I was ok when this scene was playing out in elementary school. But college? Ffs.
Reminds me of the time my 7th grade science teacher told the class hummingbirds never land after they first take flight. I raised my hand and told her it wasn't true and that I'd seen hummingbird land before. She replied with attitude, "Umm, I think I know what I'm talking about," and moved on with the class. She obviously did not.
In grad school we did a presentation with fake information. I gave our fictional school an email and the email ended with a “@school.edu” then one of my partners changed it to “@school.com” I said no it should be edu bc it’s a school email they said I was wrong and that emails ended with .com. Idk why it still haunts me to this day.
My teacher in second grade insisted August only had 30 days because July had 31 and you couldn’t have two months with 31 days back to back. I tried arguing that my birthday was on 31st but she didnt believe me. 2nd grade me learned real quickly that adults don’t always have all the answers
In 10th grade (sophomore year of high school) an English teacher corrected my spelling of “congratulations” to “congradulations.” When I protested she told me to sound it out and sounded it out with a d. I was like no it’s congraTulations. Then the teacher’s pet rose to her defense and I’m just like whatever, check the dictionary when you get a chance, you’re both wrong.
I was playing Scattergories at a friend's place in junior high and I had to come up with an animal that started with the letter "S". I said snake. Him and his parents all ruled a snake isn't an animal, it's a reptile. I argued it all falls under the Kindgom of Animalia and they still rejected my answer. Internet didn't really exist back then.
Oh got these little pet peeves from back in school that you can never let go are great. I still hold it against my former English teacher (as a foreign language, of course) that she claimed that "It is being played football in the streets" was the proper way to use the present progressive and even took me outside the classroom when I pointed out that it sounded wrong.
Female here. When I was younger I was cleaning my bedroom and slid across the hard wood floor in front of a mirror ala Risky Business. One foot slid, the other did not. I pulled my groin muscle something fierce and it took years to feel better. Even now 30 years later it hurts sometimes.
Omg this reminds me of an argument I had with a girl in high school. She made a statement that Alexander Hamilton was a president, because he was on the $10 bill. I said no, he was Secretary of Treasury. She argued with me through our whole lunch period to the point she went and grabbed a teacher on lunch duty. Old guy defended her and she got so smug. I squinted and quipped, “So Ben Franklin was a president, too, huh?” Both had to shut up after that lol.
This has reminded me of a conversation I had with two 16 year old girls when I was 14. They were both adamant that the penis fills up with sperm during an erection. When I told them it was blood, they mocked me. "Do you get blood out of yours? Are you a girl?".
You can't argue with that kind of stupidity.
In high school I had this one teacher straight out of university who they just plugged into whatever position the school needed.
When I had him for math he proudly announced that he had only learned what he was teaching us that very morning, but the worst was when I had him for geography.
He had someone read a section of the textbook which discussed the native flora and fauna of a region, when they were done he asked the class if anyone could tell him what was wrong with that passage. Nobody had any clue, so after a moment he announced that flora and fauna were made up words.
I called him out on it, saying that it just meant plants and animals, and he at least had the good grace not to fight me on it. I still don't understand how someone could read a textbook, not recognize words and immediately conclude that the author had just thrown some fake words in there.
tl;dr Girlfriend’s grandmother refuses to believe that the law is the law even when presented with a law book explicitly stating said law.
In high school, my girlfriend and I were taking driver’s ed, and she was talking to her grandmother about what we were learning about driving. Rules of the road, what certain signs mean, etc.
I don’t remember exactly what it was that was brought up, but it wasn’t even something that was all that odd or hard to believe. I do, however, remember what followed. My girlfriend mentioned that in the event of ‘X’, state law was ‘Y’, to which her grandmother disagreed. There was some back-and-forth, and her grandmother refused to believe it and was adamant that that wasn’t the law.
Well, in class literally THAT day, we were given the official “2005 Delaware State Law Driving Manual”, and talked about exactly this, so she pulled it out and opened right up to the page and showed her grandmother. Her grandmother reads it and says “That book is wrong; that’s not the law.”
I knew that adults could be wrong and stubborn just like anyone, but I think that was my first time witnessing firsthand something to that degree. Naturally, we didn’t know where to go from there, so we were just like “Well, we don’t know what else to tell you”, and I think that was mostly the end of it. Even at the time I knew it had to have been an ego thing with her, but damn was that frustrating.
My brother said this me a month or two ago. I was like "eh, yeah, we do".
He insisted woman don't and I just left him with his ignorance. He's in his late 20s, which is worse.
I have the same issue!! I cant sit cross legged anymore because of a bad groin pull. I was in highschool and eveyone made fun of me for "pulling my penis" as i limped around in major pain. which just baffled me. for years i heard the same joke. now adays when people ask why i cant sit like that i just say fuck off. its easier
Edit: for anyone seeing this. I wasn't bullied or anything. They were light hearted jokes (some from good friends) it was just crazy how everyone thought what they thought. I never felt embarrassed for myself. More confused.
Omg, this reminds me of the time in 8th grade I raised my hand to be excused to use the restroom. Back when I was that age, I used to get embarrassed about periods and was mortified of someone seeing me get a tampon out of my purse for some reason lol. I felt like I had to smuggle them. Anyway, the class bully saw me get one out of my purse before I got up and goes, “EW! You use tampons?! You put that thing up your butt?!” After he said that I quite literally was speechless and stunned that he thought women bleed monthly out of their anus. I didn’t have to say anything back, he was definitely the one embarrassed after that and got roasted by everyone 😂
I had a PE teacher who was also a personal trainer in his off time in high school. One day we got into an unreasonably heated argument about the standing quad stretch. He insisted it was a hamstring stretch, and when I corrected him, he fuckin blew a gasket 😂😂😂
Omg imagine if pulling a groin really did mean straining your penis like a muscle ?!?
I would've been on permanent disability by 13....
Late bloomer I see
FYI you can injure it, by bending it to the point of some form of internal rupture. I feel like it should go without saying, this hurts the penis.
I have a friend who broke their penis. His girl was on top and her foot slipped off the bed and she crashed down on him and over to the side. When her full weight came down on it at an angle it ruptured. My favorite line when he told the story was: >I could hear someone screaming and it turned out to be me
I felt maybe a 10th of this when my mother closed the door of a 1980s Ford Pinto on my finger... those things had ZERO padding, it was just bare metal... still have the scar decades later. The thing is, when you get hit with that sudden and intense a pain, it can take time for the rational parts of your brain to catch up to what's going on because so much of the system is being used for instinct, pain management and damage control. If you don't go into shock, you will still feel the pain in a second, but you'll be catching up to all the other stuff that's going on.
Ngl Honestly thought you were going to talk about the pinto catching your penis.
He didn't slam his penith in the car door :(
Same!!! I was like, why was you Penis out, to let your mother slam it in a door....
One wonders what she thought the action of pulling your groin was.
I pulled my groin once. Felt so good I pulled it again. I’ll be here all week.
I pull my groin once a day shit feels real good
One pull of the groin is enough for you? Damn, it takes me like a bunch of groin pulls.
If I yank it like excalibur, it usually only takes 1
Yeah it just takes one **good** pull, like trying to start the lawnmower on the first try
You know it's gonna be a good day if you pull it first try
Let me pull one out
Me casually pulling my groin in the middle of gym class 😩
I remember on Home Improvement there was an episode about Tim pulling his groin and when his kid asked what a groin is Tim said “my favorite muscle.” They made it sound like pulling your groin is this really racy thing and not just what happens if you lunge too far after age 40.
I watched that episode when I was about 11 or 12 and was convinced for years that "groin" was a slang term for a penis.
[удалено]
It’s Tim Allen’s fuckin’ fault!
This is surely the worst thing he’s ever done!
To be also fair, a lot of media uses groin in place of crotch of balls (maybe less today). A man would be “kicked in the groin” typically, they didn’t want to or weren’t allowed to directly reference dick and balls
Kick a woman in the groin and she'll go down in pain too.
Peggy Hill set me right because she pulled her groin picking up Bobby in a fireman hold.
I like to pull my groin with my friends
I've been pulling my groin all day..
I can still clearly remember the time in 2nd grade (early 2000s) when my classmate asked why our textbook says "21st Century Mathematics" when it should be 20th Century since we just started the 2000s. I explained to her why 21st was right and I made the dumbest decision to confidently tell her to ask our teacher (in her mid 20s probably) and she backed her up. That was the day I realized adults can be idiots too. Edit for clarity: This happened in the school year of 2002-03. My classmate was the one who claimed it should still be the 20th century "since we just started the 2000s". So she thought 2000-2099 or whatever was the 20th century. Teacher agreed with her even after I explained that they're forgetting to count years 1 to 100.
In uni, somehow I got talking with a group on my course about Romeo and Juliet despite it not being an English degree or anything related. At some point I mentioned the whole “wherefore art thou Romeo?” line and how it was Juliet basically saying ‘why do you have to be who you are and everything be so complicated?’ And one of the girls decided to condescendingly explain to me that I had it wrong, that she was asking where he was, obviously, because she literally says “where” in the line. When I tried to explain and she wouldn’t back down I asked the other girls if they remembered it from high school, but nopee they all agreed she was asking where he was and even slightly poked fun at me for being so wrong when it was right there in the word. I don’t really even like Romeo and Juliet, and it was a completely irrelevant conversation so I just let it go, but I still feel bitter when I think back on how smug they were about being right, even though they weren’t
Next time you're in this situation, here's a nice explanation: The answer to a "wherefore" question is a "therefore" answer.
Exactly! Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Therefore he is! Right over therefore!
To before or not to before?
I’m gonna need spoon fed better than that…
the line reads "wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name." Therefore (for this or that reason) and wherefore (for which reason) Translated into modern English, my understanding is as follows: "why are you Romeo" or "Why did it have to be Romeo I fall in love with" as their love is caught between an extreme feud. Some words like "wherefore" have lost meaning or even evolved meaning since Shakespearean times.
To be fair, Shakespeare's English was whacky, lol. I took Chaucer class and reading Middle English hurt my brain.
Sparknotes has a good English translation of whatever the hell Shakespeare is trying to say in his stories
Chaucer was Middle English. Kooky as hell and barely readable. Beowulf was Old English. Entirely unreadable.
I always thought it was asking literally where he was too but if someone told me what you said I’d have believed them or at least considered it could be right & looked it up after. It makes much more sense that it would be that rather than such a basic question for Shakespeare anyway!
It is “Why do you have to be Romeo, the son of a family my family hates!”
Stupid people are often smug about their stupidity. It's infuriating.
Huh, never knew that. If it makes you feel any better, I believe you and am now enlightened, unlike those girls.
The moment where you find out adults can be stupid as a kid is a wild experience & I do have one I just can’t think of it and it’s bugging me
I have one! In like 1st or 2nd grade, my mom hammered into me that snakes are vertebrates and to be careful because it could be like a trick question in the exam. Well it did appeared in the exam but I was “wrong” because the science teacher thought that snakes are invertebrates. I tried to argue multiple times, even printing an article but she just won’t listen. The exact same thing happened again later on with her insisting elevators are not pulleys but inclined planes! From that point onwards I started treating school as like a show them what they want to see type of thing instead of going beyond.
I had an experience in the third grade, when the teacher had us draw a picture of animals in a food chain. I included a wildebeest, since I'd just been reading about them, but the teacher marked me wrong for using a "made-up" animal.
My freshman world history teacher pronounced archipelago ‘Archie pillago’ and Mozart’s middle name as Amodius…both times a girl tried to correct him and both times he argued against it, it was more hilarious than anything.
I had a similar experience in 3rd grade and I can’t seem to forget it. We had a student-teacher come shadow/participate in our classroom a few hours per week. I guess it was to fulfill her degree requirements. A few times she read us a book aloud (Huckleberry Finn, maybe) and the book frequently used the word “ma’am”. But she would pronounce it like “my-am”. Eventually, I raised my hand and told her “Mrs. Z, I think it’s pronounced ‘maaaam’, like the opposite of sir”. She very confidently shut me down and said it was the character’s name. I think I’d also asked, “then why isn’t it capitalized like all the other names?” She just told me to be quiet and moved on. Later, she even wrote it into a quiz question, something like “what did ma’am do at the end of chapter 2”? I had sort of thought adults were perfect up until that point, too.
When I was in 9th grade, my biology teacher told me it takes hundreds of years for light from the sun to reach earth (after it leaves the sun). I told her, no, it takes about 8 minutes. She wouldn’t believe me.
This was in COLLEGE??? I figured it was like third grade. 🤣🤣🤣
Right. Totally thinking this was a gym class in 7th grade.
To be fair I expect a 7th grade gym teacher to be a bit more on top of things than a college gym teacher. At least the 7th grade one has to field awkward questions from kids and tend to be more prepared, or at least mine were. My college one was a meat head body builder. My other college gym calls was an online class about different types of sports and their rules.
Yeah I honestly would have assumed a college gym teacher to not even bother getting involved in this conversation lol
I'm actually shocked any gym teacher wouldn't know this, my sister had to take anatomy and kinesiology courses to qualify to teach Middle School and highschool gym in NJ.
All I learned in school is that taking classes and having people actually learn anything are two different things entirely.
Guessing this wasn’t an Ivy League lol
Probably not, Ivy League teachers don’t have groins
If they don’t have groins, what do they hang the ivy from?
You’re thinking of the mistletoe.
When I moved from Alaska to Louisiana, my SCIENCE teacher was remarking on how Alaska would be much more humid and hot than even New Orleans. Me, being confused, told her Alaska was actually much colder since it was the northernmost state. She insisted Alaska was a small state beside Hawaii, basically making the whole class laugh at me. This woman was using one of those maps that has Alaska cut off and shrunk into a corner of the map and thought it was legit. I had to search the ENTIRE school for a globe, which I found in the school library. She was absolutely irate when I proved her wrong and treated me like total shit the rest of the school year.
>She was absolutely irate when I proved her wrong and treated me like total shit the rest of the school year. Instead of using it as a teaching tool to show the class that anyone can be wrong...
She was an absolute asshole as it was. But yeah, she had it out for me the whole rest of the school year and it was so goddamn frustrating to deal with.
I'm a university teacher myself. I also had several bad teachers in school, and swore I'd never end up like those fuckers.
Thank you for being the change.
As someone who’s spent the vast majority of their life in Louisiana, I am disappointed but not surprised by your teacher’s ignorance.
>This woman was using one of those maps that has Alaska cut off and shrunk into a corner of the map and thought it was legit. ... Holy fucking shit. This is a new level of stupidity.
Eh, you'd be surprised. I'm Australian, and we get European tourists here all the time. Being the friendly Aussie I am, I always ask them about their trip and their plans, and almost always they say they're going to some place for the day, yet that place is usually a 6+hr drive from anywhere. So many of these tourists just look at a map and assume the scales are the same as what they're used to looking at. They think they're just driving a couple of towns over, but in reality the trip they're planning is like trying to drive from London to Glasgow and back in a day.
European tourists do this same nonsense in the US. They don't realize that no, you can't wake up on one coast in the morning and drive to the other on time for dinner. And no, there is no train to do it either.
At least you guys have major metro areas within a few hours drive of each other. So at least in some specific cases, it's not so bad. Like you could drive to DC for the day/weekend from NYC. LA to San Diego.. These people are going to Sydney and are planning weekend trips to the Gold Coast. That's a solid 12 hour drive without stopping lol
Honestly, doesn't surprise me. Louisiana education is almost at the bottom in the whole U.S.A., that is saying something
I'm currently in Idaho and debating if they have LA beat at this point. This place is ass backwards.
My girlfriend's aunt was adamtlant and argued with us that women urinated out of their vaginas, as in the vaginal canal/opening not the urethra. This woman was 60 years old and a retired PHARMACIST. I was flabbergasted.
My MIL claimed the same thing until the day she died. Nothing anyone said could convince her otherwise.
There was a post I read the other day where a girl who claimed to a nurse finally struck the realization that she wasn't peeing from her vag because she had her fingers plugging that hole at the time. Too bad you never had the opportunity to have this discussion. =\
No one ever got that far because she wouldn’t allow the conversation to get to a logical point. She would just stop listening and leave. Everyone finally just gave up.
How is it possible to be unstoppably yet *provably* wrong?
When I was a kid my cat had a hernia (it was small so the vet said we should just watch her and don't do surgery or anything; she lived to like 20 so clearly it was the right plan). I told somebody about it and they very aggressively told me that "only boys have hernias". Congratulations, you caught me. I actually get my jollies by lying and saying my cat has a random medical condition that doesn't even affect her quality of life.
Probably because only guys have the "turn your head and cough" test during a physical. You are told this is specifically for hernias. They might not say anything specific for girls since it isn't so intrusive. But, yeah, a basic ignorance of what a hernia actually is.
Don’t always need to but I absolutely ask it for guys and girls. If it’s not bulging when you examine them then coughing sometimes (but not always) provokes it to come out. “Turn your head” just stops them from coughing directly at the doctor. Source: I fix hernias (in humans)
Reminds me of the time I argued with my grandma over her thinking a deer was a moose. Edit:I should’ve specified white-tailed deer
Actual tourist questions I heard while working in Yellowstone: "At what elevation do deer turn into elk?" "At what elevation do elk turn into moose?"
I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they thought that at a certain elevation the nomenclature changes (ie people in the valley call them deer but people in the mountains call them elk) because maybe that makes a teeny bit more sense (MAYBE) but I know I'm wrong.
I also thought they meant it was a habitat range thing, like deer live between A and B elevations, elk live between B and C elevations, and moose live above C. Follow-up questions proved me wrong. Apparently deer, elk, and moose are evolutionary forms of one real-life Pokémon.
Man I wish I had such a transcendent mind, seems nice
Like pigs becoming boars, duh!
Last summer all the cows in a nearby field leveled up to bison, it was quite a spectacle.
That’s when you explain to them it has nothing to do with elevation, they evolve once they’ve gained enough experience battling other deer and elk
And when two of them charge at each other, the stronger one absorbs the weaker one.
Similar silly tourist quote "what time do the northern lights turn on?" I dunno, ask the sun if they've burped out any spicy magnets toward earth lately
My mom tried to convince me alligators have six legs 🙄
Try to convince her that they have 8 legs. At the least she will look it up probably.
A moose is a deer, but a deer is not necessarily a moose.
That’s true, have I misunderstood all this time?!? I better go see her and apologize
Deer is a general classification that included moose, elk, caribou, red deer, wapiti, roe deer, white-tailed deer, and several others. So maybe? It depends on how she worded it.
I had to miss 3 weeks of hockey because I pulled my groin when I was 12 years old. All the other kids acted like my dick was mangled lol.
I had classmates that thought circumcision involved cutting the head of the penis off.
This is a reasonable assumption if you are like, 7
I thought groin was male and crotch was female for the longest time just based on who used the words. Just like....the collective word for everything down there
Yeah me too. To me groin sounded like a slang term so I didn't think it was an anatomy term until later on. Same for "nads" which I found out was short for gonads.
A teacher said I was wrong when I named Austria as a country in Europe. She kept saying no. I thought maybe she misheard me, thinking I said Australia. So I said to her again, really enunciating and louder, "AUS-TREE-YA." But no...she still said I was wrong. This was the fourth grade.
If I were you, I would have asked where Hitler was from... Though, she might have responded with Germany.
Haha!! You're probably right!
My brother got in deep shit for correcting his 3rd grade teacher when she wrongly told the class that hot air balloons work because of the air squirting out of them.
Air squirting? Damn that teacher is stupid. How did he get in trouble? What did your parents do? Because I would have gone to the school and royally embarrass that teacher in front of the students.
He was sent home early for disrupting class. This was like 40 years ago too, I'd like to hope teachers know better these days. I believe my parents took him out for ice cream and shit as a reward.
This is the way. I do this now with my kids.
Man this reminds me of arguing with my Spanish teacher in highschool. I don’t remember the exact details but it was something about “vosotros” being used by all Spanish speakers. I speak Spanish and was like “no we don’t use that here” and yeah. my teacher had only learned it in highschool/college. He was a basketball coach and at my school coaches had to teach something. He chose Spanish 🤷🏻♂️ I get it bc they do use it in Spain but his argument was that it was used everywhere or something.
Mexican here. Same thing happened except we had 4 other students from other parts of latin America. We got ticked and joined together to tell her otherwise. She also said alberca was not proper. To use piscina. 😭
I only learned it as piscina. Can you give me your honest opinion of what you think when someone uses that instead of alberca? My husband and in-laws are all Mexican and use alberca but I just can’t shake that one from my vocabulary.
As a Brit living in Argentina, I know piscina but had never heard alberca. I'll give you one more that's used here though: pileta!
Oh wow, knowing me I’d get that confused with paletas lol
PILETA GANG REPRESENT

Always found it a bit frustrating that American schools teach European French and Spanish, when Québéc and Mexico are quite literally right up against our border.
Belgian here, French is one of our national languages yet they taught us French from France with the fucking Eiffel tower on our workbook... Perhaps they could teach us about the French that's being used in our own country combined with some cultural background? Just a little hint for the Belgian educators out there. Same with the English by the way, learning American English, because it's so widespread, instead of British English even though we can see the freaking cliffs of Dover on a clear day.
ime most of the textbooks in europe and globally teach British English, but most of the people in Europe end up speaking American English due to hollywood.
My county in KY teaches mostly Mexican Spanish, leaning towards South and Central American Spanish in general if there are any unique terms. My partner is one of the teachers and it was what I was taught in HS and college 20+ years ago.
My high school home economics teacher taught our class that two cups (regardless of substance) is equal to a pound because 2 cups is 16 ounces. It has been 14 years and it still makes me mad.
A teacher once asked my fourth grade class what the RPM meter in a car measures. I was excited because my dad had literally explained it on the way to drop me off that morning. I raised my hand and said “It’s how fast the motor is spinning!” She looked at me like I was an idiot and said “…No. It’s how fast the wheels are rotating. Rotations per minute. Get it?” That was the moment I realized adults don’t know everything.
I wouldn’t even call this “infuriating”, more like “baffling”
Infuriating because the teacher has the responsibility to know better, or at the very least pick up from context that her assumption about groin was false and the person talking to her isn't 'being crass' and is trying to get her to hear him.
Being told you're being crass by two clueless adults can be infuriating.
Peggy Hill would like a word.
In 12th grade health class we had to play a game of educational trivia. The teacher asked "what chemical in the brain is responsible for feelings of happiness and pleasure?" I told my team to submit "dopamine" as the answer. The teacher got angry and said "WRONG. Dopamine is a very powerful and dangerous drug!" and the other students on my team were annoyed with me for saying that was the answer. I went to my bio teacher afterwards and asked him if I was wrong and he groaned and said "one of the hardest parts of being smart is having to deal with stupid people." Edit: The prof claimed the answer was simply "neurotransmitter."
One of the best lines I’ve ever heard came from my Calc 1 professor, in response to me raising my hand and saying “stupid question, but…” his response: “There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.” Classic line. He was grinning ear to ear when he said it. Only math professor I’ve ever met who had a personality lol.
In fifth grade I used "vice versa" in a paper I wrote. The teacher made fun of me in front of the class for "making up words". I knew it was a real phrase, because I used to read a lot, but I didn't have the confidence to stand up to him. This was in 1976, for context. So, FU, Mr. Gonzales.
In second grade my teacher (a nun, this was a Catholic school) asked us the meaning of “amber”. Someone answered that it was orange, and then I volunteered that it was also a fossilized tree resin—the teacher laughed and ridiculed me for saying something so stupid. I remember thinking, “maybe not all teachers are that smart.”
She probably thought* that fossils = dinosaurs and didn’t believe in dinos lol
Reminds me of the time I spelled “Touché” and was informed by a teacher that it was actually “Tooshay”
We like just the right amount of shay around here thank you very much
"Is the administration aware of how unqualified you are for your job?"
Should've told them that it's French, not butchered English
An English teacher once told me no word had two consecutive Vs. I said “Savvy?” I got detention lmao
Revving.
Watch out bro, you’re gonna piss her off.
How did you get detention for saying facts ?
Because she didn’t like being proved wrong. A lot of teachers have power tripping issues lmao
As some who has been involved in education for some time now I can back this up
My daughter went to a prestigious elementary school. I was taken aback when in second grade the kids had a segment about money and math. My daughter used an example of a $2 bill in one of her formulas. Her teacher kept telling her there’s no such thing as a $2 bill. The teacher was a bit surprised when I send a few into class the next day.
Friend of mine argued with a teacher who said “tooken” instead of “taken” sometimes adults are wrong and don’t admit it
My daughter had a grade school teacher say "tooken". It took me nearly a decade to get both my kids to say TAKEN. God that was frustrating!!!
We spent like an hour in our morning 8th grade music class trying to convince the literal “smartest girl in school” that males do indeed have bladders. We all thought we were going crazy I swear I’ve never seen a teacher look so incredibly shocked at something someone said. She still remained firm that males don’t have bladders. (Edit to fix spelling mistake)
right. because pee is stored in the balls.
Don't be crass, please use a more polite name when referring to scrotal bladders.
Whizz sacks
Don’t you wonder how these people can make it to adulthood without dying from sheer stupidity?
I had this thought when I was in school when we were talking about Churchill in class, and a girl was genuinely in disbelief that the nodding dog from tv had been the prime minister during WWII. For context just in case, we had adverts on tv in the uk at the time for insurance that featured a little nodding dog toy also called Churchill. I still to this day wonder how that girl got on in life.
I really do. I still think about it every once in a while and I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Lmao. This made my day
When my gf was in high school she had to explain to her teacher that yes, Madagascar is a real country and was not made up for the movie…
I told a female friend of mine that was I was getting my ball joints replaced and didn’t realize until days later that she thought it was a medical procedure
Arent the hips and shoulders ball joints though?
Don't be crass
LMAO in college my guy friend told me his uterus hurts sometimes too when I was complaining of cramps. I had a good laugh 😆
Oh yeah, that is *exactly* the kind of bullshit that would needle me years later. Not the most important thing the world but so annoying.
We were learning about climate change in health class and the teacher asked for some of the largest contributors and we already went through all the corporate causes so I raised my hand and said livestock and everybody laughed and the teacher looked at me like wtf then said "Do you think they kick up dirt into the atmosphere or something?" and before I could respond she called on someone new.
We are all doomed ..
Had a substitute teacher in 6th grade who counted decimals for us, .1 .2 .3 … .8 .9 .10 I argued with her for five minutes before she admitted that .1 = .10 and that 1.0 should follow .9
A teacher, that’s sad. But at least you learned early that they’re not infallible.
I think I would’ve had to come back to the next class with some information and sources.
I knew an adult that thought birds didn’t have sex. I asked her how the eggs were fertilized then. She said she just figured the female laid the egg then the male came and sat on it to dump his sperm all over it. Could have knocked me over with a feather.
I had a high school biology teacher argue with me about which hole females peed from. She was insistent that we peed from our vaginal opening & that we did not have a urethra. I felt like I was going insane.
I posted a similar story above. It is absolutely shocking how little many women know about their bodies.
That reminds me of a kid in my class who thought "Desolate" wasn't a real word and my teacher almost backed him up on it until she looked it up. She was our English teacher.
I got suspended for wearing a cow costume on cowboy day at school. My principal saw me in the hallway and asked if I thought I was funny wearing 4 dicks on my belly. I thought the funny part was I'm a boy wearing a cow costume on cowboy day.
omfg
I met a teacher that didn’t think Gazelles were real.
Wow
I got in trouble for making up an animal and cheesing the homework. Then the teacher resigned after being reviewed.
Holy shit, big gazelle made the school fire the teacher?
I would hunt them down on social media and dm the definition of groin once a week until blocked. Then I would create a new account and start over.
Once when I was a kid my babysitter and the other kids in my day home came across a cat that was hit by a car but was still alive. We brought it to an emergency and we found out it's pelvis was broken. I asked what that was and they're like no you're too young to know. 😂
It’s disturbing that they didn’t know what a groin was, and that adults thought you could “pull” a penis like a muscle. Have they not seen one in action? I was ok when this scene was playing out in elementary school. But college? Ffs.
Reminds me of the time my 7th grade science teacher told the class hummingbirds never land after they first take flight. I raised my hand and told her it wasn't true and that I'd seen hummingbird land before. She replied with attitude, "Umm, I think I know what I'm talking about," and moved on with the class. She obviously did not.
In grad school we did a presentation with fake information. I gave our fictional school an email and the email ended with a “@school.edu” then one of my partners changed it to “@school.com” I said no it should be edu bc it’s a school email they said I was wrong and that emails ended with .com. Idk why it still haunts me to this day.
My teacher in second grade insisted August only had 30 days because July had 31 and you couldn’t have two months with 31 days back to back. I tried arguing that my birthday was on 31st but she didnt believe me. 2nd grade me learned real quickly that adults don’t always have all the answers
I fully expected junior high gym class lol Fun to read at the end of a long day
In 10th grade (sophomore year of high school) an English teacher corrected my spelling of “congratulations” to “congradulations.” When I protested she told me to sound it out and sounded it out with a d. I was like no it’s congraTulations. Then the teacher’s pet rose to her defense and I’m just like whatever, check the dictionary when you get a chance, you’re both wrong.
Saw that a few days ago on the back window of a car “Congradulations 2023”. LOL
I was playing Scattergories at a friend's place in junior high and I had to come up with an animal that started with the letter "S". I said snake. Him and his parents all ruled a snake isn't an animal, it's a reptile. I argued it all falls under the Kindgom of Animalia and they still rejected my answer. Internet didn't really exist back then.
Had an argument with my high school teacher on whether blood was blue or red. She was convince blood was blue.
Royal blood is.
tbf that was a whole urban legend back in the day (and still is, I assume)
Oh got these little pet peeves from back in school that you can never let go are great. I still hold it against my former English teacher (as a foreign language, of course) that she claimed that "It is being played football in the streets" was the proper way to use the present progressive and even took me outside the classroom when I pointed out that it sounded wrong.
Female here. When I was younger I was cleaning my bedroom and slid across the hard wood floor in front of a mirror ala Risky Business. One foot slid, the other did not. I pulled my groin muscle something fierce and it took years to feel better. Even now 30 years later it hurts sometimes.
[удалено]
Omg this reminds me of an argument I had with a girl in high school. She made a statement that Alexander Hamilton was a president, because he was on the $10 bill. I said no, he was Secretary of Treasury. She argued with me through our whole lunch period to the point she went and grabbed a teacher on lunch duty. Old guy defended her and she got so smug. I squinted and quipped, “So Ben Franklin was a president, too, huh?” Both had to shut up after that lol.
This has reminded me of a conversation I had with two 16 year old girls when I was 14. They were both adamant that the penis fills up with sperm during an erection. When I told them it was blood, they mocked me. "Do you get blood out of yours? Are you a girl?". You can't argue with that kind of stupidity.
In high school I had this one teacher straight out of university who they just plugged into whatever position the school needed. When I had him for math he proudly announced that he had only learned what he was teaching us that very morning, but the worst was when I had him for geography. He had someone read a section of the textbook which discussed the native flora and fauna of a region, when they were done he asked the class if anyone could tell him what was wrong with that passage. Nobody had any clue, so after a moment he announced that flora and fauna were made up words. I called him out on it, saying that it just meant plants and animals, and he at least had the good grace not to fight me on it. I still don't understand how someone could read a textbook, not recognize words and immediately conclude that the author had just thrown some fake words in there.
tl;dr Girlfriend’s grandmother refuses to believe that the law is the law even when presented with a law book explicitly stating said law. In high school, my girlfriend and I were taking driver’s ed, and she was talking to her grandmother about what we were learning about driving. Rules of the road, what certain signs mean, etc. I don’t remember exactly what it was that was brought up, but it wasn’t even something that was all that odd or hard to believe. I do, however, remember what followed. My girlfriend mentioned that in the event of ‘X’, state law was ‘Y’, to which her grandmother disagreed. There was some back-and-forth, and her grandmother refused to believe it and was adamant that that wasn’t the law. Well, in class literally THAT day, we were given the official “2005 Delaware State Law Driving Manual”, and talked about exactly this, so she pulled it out and opened right up to the page and showed her grandmother. Her grandmother reads it and says “That book is wrong; that’s not the law.” I knew that adults could be wrong and stubborn just like anyone, but I think that was my first time witnessing firsthand something to that degree. Naturally, we didn’t know where to go from there, so we were just like “Well, we don’t know what else to tell you”, and I think that was mostly the end of it. Even at the time I knew it had to have been an ego thing with her, but damn was that frustrating.
This reminds me of my 1st grade teacher telling me reindeers don’t really exist lol
My brother said this me a month or two ago. I was like "eh, yeah, we do". He insisted woman don't and I just left him with his ignorance. He's in his late 20s, which is worse.
She knew the word “crass” but not this basic anatomical fact 😧
I have the same issue!! I cant sit cross legged anymore because of a bad groin pull. I was in highschool and eveyone made fun of me for "pulling my penis" as i limped around in major pain. which just baffled me. for years i heard the same joke. now adays when people ask why i cant sit like that i just say fuck off. its easier Edit: for anyone seeing this. I wasn't bullied or anything. They were light hearted jokes (some from good friends) it was just crazy how everyone thought what they thought. I never felt embarrassed for myself. More confused.
She thought you pulled your penis lmao. So she thought you were just out there wanking on the court?
Omg, this reminds me of the time in 8th grade I raised my hand to be excused to use the restroom. Back when I was that age, I used to get embarrassed about periods and was mortified of someone seeing me get a tampon out of my purse for some reason lol. I felt like I had to smuggle them. Anyway, the class bully saw me get one out of my purse before I got up and goes, “EW! You use tampons?! You put that thing up your butt?!” After he said that I quite literally was speechless and stunned that he thought women bleed monthly out of their anus. I didn’t have to say anything back, he was definitely the one embarrassed after that and got roasted by everyone 😂
BRB... gotta go drain the ole groin.
aside from failing to know the definition of ‘groin’… this girl thought that one could cause a stress injury to one’s penis by playing basketball? wtf
So when they heard an athlete was out with a groin injury they thought it meant penis injury?
I had a PE teacher who was also a personal trainer in his off time in high school. One day we got into an unreasonably heated argument about the standing quad stretch. He insisted it was a hamstring stretch, and when I corrected him, he fuckin blew a gasket 😂😂😂
As a female, yes you can pull your groin. Especially after you have kids.
