From an old Blog

I discovered this while going through an old blog I had way back when blogging was very unhip.

So today was my second day of class with a British Professor and that seems to be the best way to describe my professor. Very British. The fifty-year old woman discussed the term Wanker to start off the class. Here is how it went. " I hope you all had no trouble getting here today. Traffic is horrible in London. I'm sure there must of been a lot of 'wanker' being tossed around. Are you all familiar with the term wanker?" The class of sixteen American students nod in a slightly hesitant manner. "Well, It means to Masturbate. Not now as much. It has become more of a term for someone who is useless, a noun or a verb. Anyhow, I'm sure you will be hearing it a lot. I remember when I was first visiting the United States as a girl I heard the term 'motherfucker' (in a very proper English tone). I counldn't comprehend the idea of one fucking one's mother. But like wanker I grew to understand the connotation of calling someone a motherfucker. It is very much like calling someone a wanker.. or even a bloody wanker. Let that create an image in your minds." And so the lesson continued. The next class she tore apart a girl for saying she believed in unconditional love.
