a funny story from class...
so, a couple of weeks ago i had my 4è (8th grade) class and i'm not sure how we got on the subject but the word 'surnom' came up. what does that word look like? it looks like 'surname', right? especially since 'nom' can be translated as 'name'. well, i wanted to make it clear to them that 'surnom' means 'nickname' and not 'surname' or 'last name'...and then i asked the class if anyone had a nickname. no one really said anything but one rather bold girl who chitchats ALL the time but speaks english quite well said, 'what's your surnom, miss?' and i said, 'my nickname is lolo.' and to my surprise, all the kids in the class burst out laughing. and i'm like, 'what? WHAT?!' so rachel and her friend grab my erasable markers and start writing I <3 LOLOS and drawing pictures of boobs and boobs shaped like hearts all over the board while the class is cracking up. i didn't really get it and when i asked them what 'lolos' meant they said it meant 'boobs' but i thought, oh this has gotta be their own 4è slang, of course 'lolos' doesn't mean 'boobs'. they probably made it up or something. and yes, i let my students take my markers AND laugh at me. i'm going for the 'your teacher is your friend approach' rather than just being a cranky bitch. i know, it's hard. but i think it's working.
ANYWAY. sure enough, last saturday night at the movies, i happened to catch the word 'boobs' translated for the french subtitles as 'lolos'. and if that's not proof enough for you, there's always this:
yah, so i'm 1 boob, i guess. how about that, huh?

ReplyDeleteLauryn Boob Kardarkatkekcezzzzzyyieeee.
OH real mature, kinzie, REAL mature!! but i'll let ya slide b/c you spelled my last name right.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in 7th grade, we had an exchange student from Mexico stay with our family for 2 weeks. He was my brother's grade (8th) and the 2 of them together were just fuggin' horrible. One older, yet still jr. high, boy in my house was bad enough, but that little ese made my life miserable. the icing on the cake was, as it turns out, en espanol, "didi" pronounced like my name, is slang for vagina. so not only was I teased in english for "dinah won't you blow (me)" (dinah is my real name) now I had to put up with this pequeno caca nino laughing at my nickname!!!
ReplyDeleteMore recently, when I was working at the pre-school, there were 2 darling little Mexican sisters who couldn't say my name without snot laughing all over themselves.
So cheers to you, Boobies.
Much love,
Vagina
