Title: chuffed
Post by: Mince on January 16, 2009, 02:50:55 PM

One of my students doesn't know what "chuffed" means. Another thinks that "phew" is spelt "few". And everything they describe is "wonderful" or "amazing" or "superb". I clearly need to give them more work to do.

You're obviously a fine teacher, Mincey.

Which shall I teach first, Roger? I'd like you to list them in order of importance.

Start with the one who doesn't know what "chuffed" means. Tell him you're chuffed about his future.

And, while he looks it up, dump him.

Dump her.

She won't be too chuffed when she finds out it was your idea.

Don't be stupid. She doesn't know what "chuffed" means.

I am sure she will see you as "wonderful" and "superb" and "amazing". What do you think? Which two would you say best described you?

This is impossible to answer. I'll go for "amazing" and "superb", simply on an alphabetical basis.

That's good enough for me!
