The Latin substitute teacher is slightly camp.
Teacher: Can anyone give me an example of a neuter third declension noun?
John M: Hōmō?
Teacher: What?
John M: Hōmō.
Teacher: What?
John M: Hōmō!
Teacher: Can you spell it?
John M: H-O-M-O.
Teacher: Oh, hŏmō!
An awkward suppression of laughter follows.

Scott: Did you just say "minge"?!

Professor Steel: "He always gives my sons and daughters roses". Until you get to the end of the sentence, the sons and daughters could be the direct object, because there is no preposition in English. He could say, "He always gives my sons and daughters... to the slave traders when they pass through each spring."

Professor Steel: The thing about Latin is that it's a mixture between the stupidly ridiculously simple... and... well, that's it.
