Awhile back, I taught English at a Taiwanese Cram School.
Me, reading out loud: “Mr. Cheng watched Blue Movies.”
Me, to the kids: Huh. Weird idiom. What is a blue movie?
The freakin’ elementary school kids: Oh yeah, it means porn.
Me: ⊙_ʘ…. Whaaaat. *google it* shit, you guys are right. Why do you know this. AND WHY IS THIS IN A CHILDREN’S TEXTBOOK!?
*flips through more examples, including murder, and bank robberies* WHO WROTE THIS.
The kids: English sucks, I hate English.
Me: Shut up and keep reading!
