Words teachers said that made you laugh

[Dr. Boogie]

My American Lit teacher back in high school gave me a few funny words, mostly through his trouble with pronunciation.

Phoebe, pronounced "Foh-bee"
Ambrose, pronounced "am-bro-zee"


I told him the correct way to pronounce Phoebe after class, and he asked me where I had heard that name before. I told him I heard it on commercials for Friends, and he laughed and said that I watch Friends. What an ass.



Listening to him try and read Tom Sawyer outloud was funny, too.
