Teacher catchphrases?

<p>“It’s not rocket science, ladies and gentlemen.”</p>

<p>Throwback catchphrase from eighth grade. Teehee.</p>

<p>I had a science teacher freshman year that always responded “Iss in da book chil” for every question, even if it wasn’t in the book. There were many more that I can’t remember anymore, but there were so many we played bingo with her catch phrases. One girl won, so she stood up and said bingo in the middle of a lecture. She was referred to by the teacher as “bingo girl” for the rest of the semester, but the teacher still doesn’t know what happened.</p>

<p>Apparently in my euro class, Napoleon’s wife was his “main squeeze”. I wasn’t sure exactly on how to interrpret it.</p>

<p>“…ten packets of sugar in my coffee this morning was not enough.”

  • my history teacher</p>

<p>I LOVE the AP Chem one :smiley:
Wow I wish my chem teacher was that awesome. Instead he’s just old.</p>

<p>“It’s not personal, it’s just real.”, “Tituba lives”, and “livin’ the dream” from my psychology/sociology teacher.
“Are you a transfer student?” my physics teacher (to any non-physics students entering the classroom, because our class is so small).</p>

<p>When number 10 is C, the whole class yells YEEEEEHAWWWW as loud as they can and you can hear them from down the hall. It’s pretty funny.</p>

<p>I love the AP Chem quote <3</p>

<p>Everytime there is a small distraction in my AP Government class (coughing, pen-tapping, administration asking for student…), the whole class would mumble in mock contempt, “Public School.”</p>

<p>AP Chem teacher: “All day, every day, twice on sunday.” He used this basically for stuff like solubility rules. He’d say something like, “Group 1 elements dissolve in water. Period. All day, everyday, twice on sunday.”</p>

<p>Creative Writing teacher: “The devil is coming.” Apparently she had a dream that she was trapped in a parking garage, and I was there, and I kept shouting the devil is coming. That makes me sound like a creepy person, I’m sure.</p>

<p>Literature teacher: “I win.” She’s basically the Stephen Colbert of teachers. She’s very sarcastic and dry and she basically plays a character where she’s better than everyone. It’s pretty funny really.</p>

<p>9th grade English teacher: “Mamma mia!” and other random garble in Italian. If she discussed the modern world with us she would say “Are you guys up with that myspace facespace thing?”</p>

<p>12th grade AP Physics teacher: “What is happening?” “This is highest class!” and “No, you are not here!” Someone made a 1000 blank white card based on the last one. It was like “reconcile your existence with Mr. C’s statement.” They’re better because he says them all with a Pakistani accent.</p>

<p>10th grade AA Chem/12th grade AP Chem teacher: He has so many. “We need to talk. We never talk anymore.” “How’s the family?” “Technically, technically, technically.” “Physics sucks.” “For real.”</p>

<p>Ballet teacher Steve: “I’m for real.” “For shizzle.” “Not bad” (When we do our very best.) “Ay yi yi mamma mia!” More than phrases he says one time funny things, and lately he has been even more ridiculous. He dances around during our combinations. It’s crazy. These ones are also better on account of his (Belgian) accent.</p>

<p>“It’s Friday… You know what that means… Take out something on which you can write! We’ll talk about next week.” - my Grade 10 English teacher</p>

<p>“In the words of Joan Rivers, let’s talk.” “What do you wanna know?” - APUSH teacher</p>

<p>And my English teacher this year, whenever the answer is B, he says it in a really high-pitched voice to avoid confusion with D.</p>

<p>“Vote for Pedro!” – 8th grade teacher</p>

<p>Hey, I’ve got some:
“Don’t look at that. It’s math porn”
"…</p>

<p>actually I’ve just got one. I have more friend catch-phrases</p>

<p>I have several teachers who are famous for their remarks</p>

<p>My APUSH teacher was just hilarious, he had several running jokes. Greatest teacher I’ve had so far, such a cool guy despite the hard class.</p>

<p>My Chem teacher is famous for constantly saying a certain word without needing to. Almost like a tick.</p>

<p>Then there is my math teacher… lol. This guy’s IQ is literally off the charts (you walk into his room and you KNOW lol). He several catch phrases that have become lore at my school. A couple of them have become common catchphrases of my own, lol.</p>

<p>“it’s friday- time for the three golden rules. listen and listen closely 1. don’t drink too much, 2. wear a condom, 3. don’t drink and drive” -drama teacher who got fired for threatening another teacher</p>

<p>“damn it’s wednesday. eff that anti-drug curriculum…that shiits bs. i’ve done every drug there is and i’m sayin it’s not worth it. be careful” -speech teacher who got fired for not doing anything</p>

<p>sigh. my favorite teachers.</p>

<p>oh and we have some lame ass substitutes
“my mothers boyfriend lives in the projects” -mrs. murray</p>

<p>“Dating is like the stock market.”
“There are no stupid questions, only Yichen questions.” (Yichen was a kid in my class, haha, love him).
“Here’s another life lesson from Mr. Amato.”
My French teacher always put “Betts le Magnifique” instead of “Monsieur Betts” on his tests/quizzes/sheets whatever.
Another French teacher would blame Monsieur Fran</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh yes, we all have that person. I love their questions soooo much lol</p>

<p>I’ve had the pleasure of knowing him since 7th grade, and of having a class with him pretty much every year since then :smiley:
Let’s see…3 next year? Yes! >D</p>

<p>Chemistry teacher, soph. year: “Positive energy!”</p>

<p>My junior year English teacher (she’s like 30 and one of the youngest teachers I’ve had) has an obsession with the word ‘foxy’ and used to sneak it into quizzes and literary observations.</p>

<p>9th grade (also English teacher) had tons of catchphrases he’d pull off to annoy us on purpose. Upon letting us into the classroom: “HEYHEYHEY. Welcome the the House of Knowledge!” Or, randomly in class when someone asked a certain question: “You guys are honor students. The pillar of society. Cream of the crop. Tomorrow’s future.”</p>

<p>lol idk about you, but with my AP Calc class, it went like this:</p>

<p>Math Porn Teacher: “…so the 2nd derivitive - the slope of the slope - would look like this”
That person: “Wait…”
Teacher: “?”
That person: “Isn’t that supposed to be a circle?”
Teacher: “oh yeah. I drew it badly”</p>

<p>By the end of the year, we became quite critical of our teacher’s drawings. Questions asking person continued to ask useless but quite enjoyable inquiries</p>

<p>^There was a running gag about how my Spanish teacher was a horrible (as in, hilarious) drawer. One time she drew a cat on the whiteboard and everyone thought it was a spider.</p>

<p>Weird how the teachers who are ‘bad at drawing’ are always the ones whose drawings you see. (Exception of art teachers)</p>
