Many of you know I am a biology teacher (actually a chiropractor by education, but a teacher now). There are many pitfalls in lecturing biology. The most common is probably saying "orgasm" instead of "organism". I even warn my classes that someone will say this before the year ends. It disrupts the class less if I have actually said the word before the blooper happens. But this year, I said the most embarrassing one yet. While lecturing in genetics, I was explaining traits- which are dominant or recessive. Yup. You guessed it- I actually said "Genes can be Dominant or submissive." I tried to just keep going and ignore how red I was turning, but one student picked up on it and called me on it. I gave him the don't-interrupt-class look of death and went on as best I could. Inside I was cracking up and I couldn't wait to call Master and tell Him what I said. [:D]

I'm not a teacher, but once I heard a very conservative church going co-worker say "It's a woman's pornography to change her mind." This was in the middle of a full office meeting with 30 of us in the room. I've always wondered what was going on there. . .

That's too funny! Makes you wonder about Freudian slips. I know there was nothing Freudian about mine. I think about Dominant and submissive daily; dominant and recessive only during that unit.

[:D] LMAO.... Tooooo funny. Shows us how much some of us think of D/s. [;)]

Because you have a sick, perverted mind. (I knew there was a reason I liked you so much!) [:D]

Freudian bloopers are funny. Here's one that happened during a sermon.

Some of my best moments came from a very slippery tongue.

Have any of you teachers promised your class that they would be studying various types of orgasims this year?

It's cool. In the beginning of the semester, my Analytical Chemistry professor zoned out, badly. He looks sort of gay, you know. And he looks even gayer after you hear his absent minded rant about "Anal Chemistry". Besides, most vanilla people would see "submissive" as the antonym of "dominant", so most of your students probably assumed you got your words mixed up for a second. :P

Many of them have children themselves. So, I'm afraid some of them understood the reference and the next question would then be "Just how much does Dr. M. know about the terms dominant and submissive?" Unfortunately in this case, I am the teacher they can ask anything. You would be surprised at the frank sexual questions I get (and the myths I often dispel). I am just lucky I handled it as I did. But, boy, if I could have run out of the room in embarrassment without making it worse, I would have!

CuriousLord -> RE: For Teachers: My worst blooper (2/25/2008 10:25:33 PM)
..so.. You know, I was sorta thinkin' 'bout droppin' outta some classes 'r somthin' on 'count 'o my annoyin' spellin'. So, where do I sign up for your class again? I have some interesting questions to ask. :D Also, can my final project be on just how red a teacher's face can get? ;)

sunshinemiss -> RE: For Teachers: My worst blooper (2/25/2008 10:41:22 PM)
well, it's not a mistake... I teach students who are all adults - engineers, accountants, etc. But I teach Koreans the difference between the L sound and the R sound - they have a sound in their language that is a combination of the two which is why they have such a hard time with phrases like "shrimp fried rice" or "the presidential election"... I teach them that the "L" sound is like making la la la love to a woman and I wiggle my tongue up and down. One of them will understand and say it in Korean and waggle his tongue a bit... and then I correct him about moving the tongue up and down... and they all laugh... and then.... off we go.

DefiantFlower -> RE: For Teachers: My worst blooper (2/26/2008 3:25:55 PM)
Haha...just the other day, we were going over that subject in my bio class, and I made that very same mistake! I still don't know if people caught on to it, but oh it was so embarrassing. Good times.
