2005-01-30 07:53:57 ET Today was "Typhus Day" for my upper-intermediate students. We read a passage about the plauges of England in the 1400s. "What does plague mean?" --"Its a not good thing." "That's right, its a not good thing, erm rather -- its a bad thing." --"What is to mean 'rapidly'?" --"With quickness." *strange confused looks* --"quickly." *more strange confused looks* --"fast." *no response, one of my smartest students poses the following to me...* "Rebecca Hanım, 'rapidly' is meaning 'fast' like 'my girlfriend takes me to my bedroom and touches me with fastliness. I am then happy fast.'? Is this true?" --"Erm... no, not quite Özkan, thank you for that though - " --"What if I say 'My girlfriend takes me to my bedroom and touches my body with fastliness.'?" --"Umm... no, you see, 'fastliness' does not exist in the English language. Let's try a different example, shall we?..." Yeah, what was I supposed to say? "Özkan, the better choice for that sentence is 'My girlfriend takes me to my bedroom and touches my body with rapidness' or 'rapidly'. I become happy quickly." Yeah, this was one of my better classes... yesterday somebody asked me if they could borrow my 'rubber'. "I'm sorry Alpay, I don't readily carry condoms with me, but, you're welcome to borrow my eraser..." ********* And now, for a very tourmented bestest friend in the world, these lyrics are what you should be saying right now. Good luck! :) Said I've paid my dues for all that I've done And I showed you that I loved you more than once Theres nothing left there to decide Said you might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice Freedom to us has always been a trick Freedom to u has always been who ever landed on your dick Seen it in you one to many times Said you might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice, no Might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice Might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice, no Might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice No I won't let you trick me twice Those days are old and overdone And it's only cause I'm not with you that you make me number one Though I may love you It hurts me deep inside and Now you no longer have to hide I used to be down with the late night hit Started gettin' heavy when I really wasn't ready Used my past to get in my mind So I fell for your lies like all the time I thought you were the shit to be playin' around Call the police there's a mad girl in town Couldn't get even here without a sound It's not how I wanna get down, Yeah Might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice Might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice, no Might trick me once I won't let you trick me twice No, I won't let you trick me twice No, I won't let you trick me twice Cos I've paid my dues for all that I've done And I showed you that I loved you more than once There's nothing left there to decide Trick me I won't let you trick me twice You might trick me once I won't let me trick you twice You might trick me once No I won't let me trick you twice, no You might trick me once No I won't let me trick you twice İyi geceler :) <3 |
