Today, I uttered the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" in class. Moments later, I'd been called a "racist twerp" and kicked out of class by the same English teacher who once tried to have another kid suspended for using the word "titillate", because apparently it's "pornographic". FML

I thought teachers were supposed to have some level of intelligence...

Then there's that awkward moment when 31 realizes this is in the UK.

You have to be careful of the people you insult with witty comments

Guys, I'm going to school to be an English teacher, and I genuinely hope I don't end up crazy!!

I'm glad to see that so many people have used the word "niggardly". I would have to say this teacher is a true ****** by definition: a person who lacks intelligence.

Bring some pictures to school and ask people if they want to see some boobies. Blue-Footed Boobies, that is.

Why was this voted down? It's a bird (i think).

You should complain to your school's senior management. Also, titillate can be used sexually. So that one probably depends on the context (although it was still a bit extreme).

Any word can be used sexually. I think she banned titillate because it has the word tit in it.

yes. But it means 'stimulate' or 'excite'. In my dictionary it even says 'stimulate or excite, especially in a sexual way'.

The full idiom is "the pot calling the kettle black" and dates back to a time when pots, pans, kettles, etc. actually got black from the fire. There is absolutely no racism in the phrase, implied or otherwise. Tell her to put that in her pipe and smoke it (and no, that is not a pot reference).

I disagree, but do admit that the majority of people interested enough to read the comments do. Touché.
