Could he be a Pooner?

[moi]

I had my second english class today with a new teacher, and he struck me as vaguely familiar. Perhaps a client I met but didn't book with, who knows.

Anyways today was our second class and I started to fidget when he referred to our fingers as "DIGITS" and spoke of something in class and finished by saying "it's up to you, your mileage may vary."

I found it incredibly creepy and had to excuse myself to leave the washroom and call my girlfriend LOL!!!

Do non-pooners use this kind of language at all? Just wondering!!!

Besides that, he's a very disorganized teacher jumping from this to that and speaking a mile a minute. He doesn't say one full sentence he uses many many analogies and gives many examples in his run-on of explaining a single Verb.

He could just be a perb reader and he sounds like he mght be a coke head

sounds like a pooner to me!

Those are two terms I've heard of and used well before I even knew about pooning.

Now, if he says something like : "Sorry students, I have to cut class short today because I have to DATY" ; then we just might have ourselves a bonifide pooner.

The phrase 'YMMV' was borrowed by pooners from regular English, but DATY and MSOG are pure originals!

i've never used or heard anyone else i know say "ymmv" but i have refered to fingers as digits long ago. back in the high school days actually.

Well he acts and looks as if he partied hard during the hippie days and may either be going through a lifetime withdrawal from all those drugs or is still on them.

He can be funny, but the way he acts rings bells in the back of my head like he was client from somewhere!

Not to mention I'm learning absolutely nothing from him with his word marathons!

Here is an idea...........

Maybe you should take him aside and ask him if he remembers you? Can't see how that could be a bad thing.

If you miss an exam and ask him to take a make up one and he says, "Sorry, but there's only one shot on goal," then you can be sure of it!

Yea I withdrew from the class. I was just doing it to complete the program but have already taken an equal english to that and got 92% as my last mark so I really don't need to put up with his crazyness lol.
Pity the rest of my classmates though. They're jealous of me xD
