Strange Words



Teachers use strange words to communicate elaborate ideas:

Freud, 9-12-13
I left my dangle in the computer over the summer,
and now my doohicky doesn't work. 
And that's what a doohicky is.

Or sometimes the words are just strange:

Walter, 9-13-13
God is chartreuse.

And then teachers manage to sound crazy without even using any strange words:

Coach, 12-6-13
The US system would be much more interesting if it operated like the Commons.

Context

Freud was talking about the wireless adapter for his "clicker" he uses with the computer, so he can walk around e room and move the slideshow forward.

Walter was explaining the concept that some arguments aren't worth arguing.  His example was "If someone said God were chartreuse."

Coach's quotation is not out of context. That was his entire idea... and if you want to know what he means, go find "Questions for the PM" on the internet and skip to the middle.  There should be a lot of yelling.
