    It could also be the case that the students and previous teacher were having a giggle on Simons behalf

    He'll probably walk in tomorrow after theyve been learning of Wankel engines

    Indeed.
    Things are never what they appear to be.
    This certainly bides true as to blued-eyed devils disconnected interpretations and perspectives of things Asian.

    You don't consider it 'risky' for a western teacher in Myanmar to tell a class of 13 year old girls to look up the word 'c u n t' in a dictionary.

    You'd have no problem at all clearing up any minor misunderstanding with the principal.

    Alrighty.

    I would have told them it's "Not a nice word, it's very low class, and you should not use it", and wiped it away and carried on with my lesson.

    I had the nieces teach me how to say cut and pound, as in a mortar and pestle, in Laos.

    Gf didn't find this at all amusing.

    On the positive side, Simon will be back in civilised Bangkok soon and start another hotel venture.

    She knows. But you may wish to do all the explanation including side stepping and back peddling.
    If once you've mastered that, It's Simon for student body president.

    Pics are welcome on TD.
    We will not hold it against you.
    As J Tull one said, You're sperms in the gutter you're love's in the sink.
    Almost makes too much sense, the maid finds an easy to clean up operation.

    CSI.... still baffled for an easy explanation.

    It must have been quite bewildering for the childrens parents :
    "What did you learn at school today "
    "We learnt the English slang for a vagina we saw incontinence first hand"

    Whilst I do understand that you are just trying to be antagonistic , I do feel that you should have chosen something different , rather than the sentence structure or punctuation of my post , it just makes you come across as rather juvenile .

    No.

    It doesn't make any sense at all.

    Speaking of odd word choices, what adult male says "I wet myself"? Toddlers wet themselves. Is this Britspeak?

    What else is there to focus on in your post? Your punctuation and sentence construction is worse than a juvenile's. Just sayin'.

    He's trying to sound "posh". Or perhaps he is posh! The non-posh way to say it is, "I pissed myself" (laughing).

    The earliest known use of the word, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was as part of a placename of a London street, Gropecunt Lane, c. 1230. Use of the word as a term of abuse is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.

    The word appears not to have been taboo in the Middle Ages, but became taboo towards the end of the eighteenth century, and was then not generally admissible in print until the latter part of the twentieth century.

    The term has various derivative senses, including adjective and verb uses. Feminist writer and English professor Germaine Greer argues that c u n t "is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock."
