I heard of one instance where a class of high schoolers were playing Kahoot. One group of boys wanted to name their team the "Sugar Daddies", but the teacher wouldn't allow it, so they named themselves the "Glucose Fathers".

When I was a kid, someone tried to name a summer camp team Sofa King Cool. It originally slipped past, as the names were submitted on paper. One of the counselors renamed them Couch Queen Chilly after saying the original one out loud.

You cannot out-clever teenagers. Just accept your defeat, and be proud of them for their verve in tackling the mission.

Yeah. Just turn it into a positive.

In all corners of the world, in all the years of history, there has been human life and energy. Modern Western culture has somehow reached itself to a point where you have erase it all, because it's not "professional," and present a strange view of history and the current world where all the greed, humor, meanness, and fun has been removed. Teenagers hate that, because they are not broken yet, and they innately connect back to and get excited by any little spark that accidentally shows through the dust-covers by mistake. Just let 'em do it. The instinct will go away anyway when they get jobs, you don't have to make any specific effort to stamp it out.

I think you nailed the generational divide:

Modern Western culture has somehow reached itself to a point where you have erase it all, because it’s not “professional,” …, and fun has been removed. Teenagers hate that, because they are not broken yet, and they innately connect back to and get excited by any little spark that accidentally shows through the dust-covers by mistake.

Or out dumb.

I can't remember Sister Grendel's real name anymore. She was a sub for the length of covering Beowulf. Kind of a mean nickname but so was she.

I wonder how they reacted to the Deep Throat.

spoilerI am so sorry, everyone, but I couldn't bring myself to say the more hilarious/nasty comment: "How did they handle Deep Throat?"

There was a saying in the Nixon years: "Dick Nixon, before he dicks you."
