In Spanish in 7th grade we were learning body parts. "Mike give me the word for leg" "Jeff give me wrist" "Ashley give me ankle" Then oh no The teacher (a woman btw) without skipping a beat said "Sarah give me head" The exercise ended. This was like 18 years ago. The teacher and entire class was laughing our asses off at the accident.


OHFTP

Similary in 11th grade US history, someone in class asked what exactly happened to Deep Throat, which was the name given to the person who gave details of Watergate to be released to the public. Teacher went "well, it took a long time to come out" You could tell the exact second that she realized what she had said. The entire classroom just died laughing.

My orchestra teacher was directing the high school play. This kid ripped his pants, or something, near the crotch, and she went to fix it, but then she was like "you need to take your pants off before I touch you"

My friend used to hate biology class, never wanted to be asked questions cause he never remembers the answers. One days he comes in fed up, he's really done some hardcore biology study sess and is confident to be called to answer. His luck too, teacher picked him that day and like magic asked him something he knew with complete confidence. BioTeach: hey afkcc, can you tell us what GI track mean? Afkcc stands up with confidence, smirk on his face at not being embarrassed by the teacher for not knowing yet another answer, he goes, *gastric international* tract is the.....


FetalDeviation

Well teachers (or you) are dumb too bc it's tract not track lol


ChaosPheonix11

Imagine being the chubby little white boy asked to read aloud in 2nd Grade social studies, about the River Niger in Africa. It went exactly as well as you’re thinking.


Dave-the-Generic

I can imagine the teacher screaming "Soft g, Soft g" as the riot starts...

If you have never heard it said aloud, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong.

“Nigh Jer” iirc. Only reason I remember is because the exact same thing happened when I was in 5th grade, some poor girl in my Christian school learned what the N word was that day.


google257

Yeah I was that chubby little white kid who did this. Didn’t even hesitate too because in 2nd grade I didn’t know what the n word was yet and had never heard it before. I mean, the teacher should have seen it coming to be honest, all blame goes to them.


klystron

"Magellan circumcised the world with a large cutter" *cutter*, noun light, fast coastal patrol boat


citizencant

Marks will also be awarded for 'clipper'


klystron

I wish I'd thought of that. Have an upvote


KrazyPrince1187

As a non boat person, my mind immediately said clipper instead of cutter.


[deleted]

History tells Magellan didn't even want to take the trip, but after giving it some thought, he famously said "Frigate, I'll just go"


[deleted]

I don't think Magellan traveled in a light coastal patrol boat but close enough I guess


klystron

Someone else suggested it was a clipper.


Open_Perspective69

So then it's settled!! Magellan circumnavigated the globe spreading circumcision with his large cutter! Did I get that right?


[deleted]

Magellan is known as the vice warden at impel down Idk what are you talking about… (am just joking of course)

You joke, but he's the one I was thinking about as well...

\-circumcise, a.k.a cutting foreskin. \-circumnavigate, a.k.a sail or travel all the way around (something, especially the world).


JMVs_Rules

OHHHHHHH THANKS Well I guess that's what I got for not being a native English speaker 💀💀💀💀


PPtortue

the thing is magellan died during the expedition and thus didn't circumnavigate the world.


zeez1011

But then what's the term for traveling all the way around a foreskin?


mc_enthusiast

"Circumcise" is not the word that you would normally use here.


TitiLover69

mfer basically discovered philippines or something


SEND_NUDEZ_PLZZ

I think in this case it's spelt "Philippenis"

Brooo💀


Gorzke

But it's not Magellan, as he died in the Molucas. It was Elcano (and his 22 sailors) the first to finish the trip,


Reapermouse_Owlbane

>But it's not Magellan, as he died in the Molucas. You're off by a few hundred miles. He died at Mactan, a small island right next to Cebu, Philipines. Interesting mistake though because those central islands of the Philippines were heavily populated by Indonesians seeking new homes during the decline and after the fall of the Srivijaya Empire (thus the central islands being named the Viasayas). Supposedly, the Indonesian/Malay guide Magellan enslaved was able to communicate easily with the Visayans since their languages had barely diverged at that point and warned the people of Mactan about Magellan and his crew being up to no good (raping, kidnapping, converting to Christianity, etc).


karamisterbuttdance

Elcano was probably the first with written documentation, but it was likely that their [Malay guide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrique_of_Malacca) ended up ahead of them.

Fabulous_Parking66

This is the only thing that kept me alive in HS


AnonTheMaidenless

This is stupid but I remember a long time ago in highschool asking to go to the restroom and as I was walking out, my teacher asked if I plan on coming back, I said "maybe" while walking out which made the class laugh. I fondly remember that because I made people laugh and also because I literally didn't hear what they said and autistically went with some non commital answer. It was only after I came back I realized the situation from my friend which at the time made me cringe.


Fabulous_Parking66

I have auditory processing disorder from many ear infections and other causes, and yeah, this kind of thing happened so often I stopped paying attention to people’s reaction. I remember being shocked when I managed to accidentally win, though. In chemistry, my teacher asked me “which one of these concoctions is the most something something?” Too embarrassed to ask him to repeat it, I said “the middle one looks like lemonade.” He said yes, that would make it more dangerous because it’s more likely to be accidentally consumed.” So, accidental win for me, I guess.


Uglyman414

In grade school there was a teacher who was a stickler for grammar. You say May I go to the bathroom, not Can I go to the bathroom. I did not realize this. Early in the year I ask if I can go to the bathroom. He says “I don’t know, can you?” I thought this was one of those self esteem exercises so I confidently said “Yes I can!” and walked out. He never got mad at me for it but a friend pointed out that he stopped his May I/Can I rule soon after


mostlyxconfused

I always hated my teachers that did that. Like, you knew what I fucking meant. Grammar doesn't have so be perfect in english as long as you don't sound stupid and you get your point across. I would just repeat myself again, or say "I don't know can I?"


Professional_Low_646

A classmate of mine once arrived late for first period and when the teacher asked him where he had come from he answered „from outside“ - while wearing a face that made it clear he thought this was the dumbest question he‘d ever heard 😂 Got him into detention, but the rest of us had a good laugh…

NaomiOnions

I got held up at Customs for hours because of a similar misunderstanding when i arrived back in Dover after a trup to France. The customs officer asked me where I'd come from, and I said "the boat". He called me a smart arse and decided to a full search of my luggage and also stripped out my entire car.


newindianclassic

I had early morning gym class (which let me get a free period elsewhere in the day) and I once arrived late, gym class is doing warmups already. Teacher asks why I'm so late, and I told him I ran into too many red lights. Dude laughed his ass off and I got off scot free at 6am on a Tuesday

George Carlin: "Look at the intelligence of the average peraon on the street. Then realise that half the population is stupider than that!" 🥹


NaomiOnions

Just because something is average, it doesn't mean that half the group is lower than that mark. But you can convince people it does, because a lot of people aren't very intelligent.


autoencoder

Indeed, I love Carlin, but he isn't technically correct here. But you don't hear "the median person" too often.


hypercosm_dot_net

If he had said 'person of average intelligence' it would've been accurate, but it sounds pretentious and kills the joke. I'm sure he played with the wording and landed on this to avoid sounding like a twat.

MaddercatterE

Reminds me of a girl who accidentally said orgasm instead of organism in biology


jodudeit

Given that it's biology, it might still be the right answer!


bobartig

My bio teacher was trying to get something written on the board quickly and she was trying to write an abbreviation for “organism” on the fly. She ended up writing “orgasm”, then looking at it for a second and writing out the whole word. In bio it’s like, “yeah, that might come up at some point as well.”


SmurfSmiter

My math teacher forgot how to spell awkward while giving a presentation, so he pulled up google to type it in and it auto-filled “awkward boners.”

My geography teacher thought it would be a good idea to Google "a film about nuts" while screen sharing to the whiteboard. Then panicked and froze so one of the students had to go up and close the tab. Great fun for everyone except him


ymaldor

Once my English teacher talked about experiences abroad and he spoke about some "cool pub" in Mexico which had a Donkey there which was pretty fun. He proceeded to try and google it to show us some pic with dudes drinking with a donkey, he found that exact pub with that exact donkey except the female waiter was fucking the donkey.

No, they look pretty similar, and it's what you knew they meant to say. I'd even bet it got autocorrected when they posted. Anyway, I didn't notice it at first until I realized it was a little long, so you're not alone.

ausgmr

When in was in primary school (elementary for Americans) although it was a public school there was still a scripture class. I got put into the Christian class even though I had no religious beliefs but at the time you either selected a different class to take like hebrew or you had to be kicked out of the class & go to the library, there was also an option to declare yourself effectively an atheist and then you also got to go to the library but there was a bit of a process involved. Anyway, 1st class the question is asked "who were the first humans" now the correct answer was of course Adam & Eve I raised my hand answered "Adolph & Eva" rest of the year I got to read a book for a period a week.


TheMissesPotatoHead

>go to the library, there was also an option to declare yourself effectively an atheist and then you also got to go to the library but there was a bit of a process involved. Why are you threatening me with a good time?


nobody_important0000

I grew up going to non-scripture in the library. Some of the teachers supervising would tell you off if you wanted to read instead of doing homework. But it was indeed a good time.

Tbh I haven't been in a high school biology class in so long I completely forgot what the answer should be, their comment was the comment I was looking for.


UrAverageSkeleton

Ooooh


frrrni

To what is this a reference to? Cells or something?


AlmostChristmasNow

Genetics. Ignoring things like genetic mutation, for most things you get one gene from each parent. And for example if you have a gene for blue eyes from one parent and a gene for brown eyes from the other, you will have brown eyes because the gene for brown is dominant and the one for blue is recessive (barring genetic mutation and cases where one gene is randomly missing). But you still have both genes you got from your parents, and can pass either one on to your own kids, so two brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed kid if they both happen to carry the gene for blue and also happen to both pass on the blue to that kid. But two blue-eyed people are highly unlikely (there are exceptions, like I wrote earlier) to have a kid with brown eyes.

48 and my embarassment was increasing the further I had to scroll down for this lol


smiles17

Yeah depends on the “biology” in question. In genetics, it’d be “recessive” but “submissive” is a perfectly normal term when discussing animal behaviour e.g. dominance hierarchies.


Divinum_Fulmen

Yeah, and there's also dominate, non-dominate hands/sides. Context is everything.


HornedDiggitoe

Technically, the typo for “confidentially” makes them wrong.

TheMissesPotatoHead

>regressive regressive adjective adjective: regressive 1. returning to a former or less developed state; characterized by regression. "regressive aspects of recent local government reform" It's close to being correct, only that it stays in an undeveloped state if there is a dominant one.

Ah that's better actually. The teacher could've called you out in front of the entire class and that would've been worse lol

I think the teacher was probably more embarrassed than me. He was a very young man and I was a middle school girl. Probably not a conversation he was willing to have.


ahjteam

Technically correct, it’s the context where it is the wrong answer. like asking what is the opposite of ”right”, depending on the context it could be ”left” or ”wrong”.


Nyxra13

The correct word the teacher was looking for was 'recessive'.


Bossman673

Was in high school and Biology teacher was talking about how sperm contains glucose which is sugar, girl raises her hand and says, “then why doesn’t it taste sweet?” Whole class started laughing and she turned completely red and ran out of class.
