My friend was recently teaching ‘places in the school’ vocabulary, however when he got to “changing room” several students thought he was saying “chin-chin room”.
“Chin-chin” = a childish word for a willy.
ie: pee-pee, wee-wee etc.
(Also yes, it means teaching ‘parts of the face’ is always a struggle, too.)
Proof that diction is important.
Or should I say “DICKtion?” Heh.
