If I Had a Mouthful...

 So, today's story from work is behind a cut, for mild inappropriate language.

My upperclassmen had finished up class four or five minutes early, and were chit-chatting, awaiting the end of class.  I hear in the back of the room my Suzie Cutie suddenly cry out "Ms. Judi wouldn't say 'shit' if she had a mouthful!"

I point a finger at Suzie Cutie, and said, mildly enough, "Watch your excremental language, dear," and moved along to monitor the rest of my giggling class.  Suzie Cutie goes to the back of the class and gets out a dictionary.  I am charmed, because I am pretty sure I know what she's looking up.

Sure enough, Suzie Cutie suddenly blurts out to her friends, "OhmiGawd!  Ms. Judi has a way of saying 'shit' without saying 'shit'!"

And I had a difficult time not laughing out loud.

LOL.
She's going to be trouble. In a good way.

I have been know to exclaim 'Torus feces' at times.

That would be a doughnut that looks like chocolate but isn't.

The Latin word is "taurus". The phrase could be "feces tauri" or "tauri feces" in Latin, or "taurine feces" in English.

I find myself puzzled by how one would physically produce toroidal excrement, and will have to send my thoughts elsewhere.

Well,my dad, back when he smoked, was capable of making smoke rings . . .

I don't suppose that applies . . .

You definitely made me laugh :-)

Happily, I didn't have to try to avoid laughing out loud!

Sounds like she needs to be introduced to the concept of synonyms. :-D

YEAH!

I still remember my h.s. bio (or maybe earth sci.) teacher (around 1961, that would be). Some student (not me) audibly said "shit", and Mr. Alexander looked up and said "The word to use is 'feces'."

Isn't it just the most fun sometimes being in the classroom?

Like when you are doing the names of animals. Mommy cow is a bull etc. Mrs B what's a Mommy dog called? It never fails to bring a shocked look to the childs face.

Actually, my earth science teacher showed us a coprolite.
