<p>Anyone else have teachers with catchphrases so lame that they are funny.
e.g. my math teacher always says “now we multiply by a wicked (a Maine term meaning “very”) convenient form of 1 (a fraction like .5/.5 would receive such a treatment)” and my chemistry teacher always had a lame joke about how hydrogen was positive</p>
<p>My English teacher says “hot dog”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think wicked is a maine term, they say it in harry potter all the time</p>
<p>really? i just assumed it was endemic. ironically like red hot dogs</p>
<p>As far as I can recollect, I don’t have many teachers who have them.</p>
<p>English teacher- “what’s the purpose, not the porpoise?”</p>
<p>English teacher - “This writing makes you want to suck on a gas pipe.”</p>
<p>O, I actually just thought of one. My old AP Lang teacher would tell us that AP stands for answer the prompt!</p>
<p>That last one made me lol. The gas pipe one.</p>
<p>Math Teacher- “Questions, Concerns, Consternations?”</p>
<p>“…and what have you”</p>
<p>This wasn’t a teacher but in one of my clubs we had a guest speaker (we have one every meeting) and he was 30 minutes late, and then he talked for 30 minutes. Every time he finished a sentence, or there was a comma he inserted, “…and what?” So he was like, “So you’re walking, and what?, you see your girlfriend or boyfriend, and what?” He had the most annoying way of saying it and toward the end of the speech I seriously almost got up and left (I was seated right in front of him).</p>
<p>My Spanish teacher used to say “Doubt me? Don’t, because I’m right.” In slight jest of course (and in Spanish so it took me a year to figure out what she was saying).</p>
<p>“Don’t lean on the wall. If you want to support the school, send in money”
… right after he makes a mistake “JUST TESTING…” (every single time, maybe once per lesson lol)</p>
<p>too many to list lol.</p>
<p>“Then do some magic and write the answer.” - Chemistry teacher</p>
<p>“Magic” refers to Math. Not once did she ever call it math the entire year.</p>
<p>My apush teacher last year: “here’s what’s on store.” </p>
<p>We’d all secretely laugh to ourselves every time he said it.</p>
<p>my chemistry teacher was like the Ezra Pound of lame catch phrases. Today I randomly stopped into his room after school to ask him a question and he said “you need to think outside the bun”. i like taco bell, so it worked.</p>
<p>“AP Chemistry is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.”</p>
<p>…Am I allowed to say that I’m somewhat proud of myself that I got Maple’s Ezra Pound reference? Even though it might be common knowledge?</p>
<p>I had a teacher that said “mmkay” a lot, like in South Park.</p>
<p>My physics teacher last year always said about easy problems: “ain’t no thing but a chicken wing on a string.” LOL he’s funny.</p>
<p>I love the AP Chem one, that is awesome.</p>
<p>One algebra teacher in the school always ends his sentences with ok. For example: You need to do well ok? If you don’t do well, you get bad grade, ok? Yes, ok?" It’s pretty funny, haha</p>
<p>All right sports fans, turn those puppies [essays, homework, etc.] in!</p>
<p>I am not feeling quite user friendly today</p>
<p>Ummm…be quiet!</p>
<p>You do not have the right to talk! You have the right to…read your textbook…to study physics…to do problems!</p>
