This site - like so many others we notice - is disturbing, hilarious, and/or even touching, sometimes all at the same time. It's "the least coherent encyclopaedia of playground insults on the internet" called The Law of the Playground.

    bananas?
    Cutting sarcastic putdown used by a maths teacher, when a pupil answers a question without stating the units.

    TEACHER: "what's the volume of a cube with sides of 2cm each?"
    PUPIL: "eight"
    TEACHER: "eight what? bananas?"

    Pupils would often fall out of their chairs and asphyxiate with laughter.

They solicit your input that does not suck. When I was in elementary school in SoCal, we had a male teacher who was the playground supervisor and he liked nothing better than a good insult, the dirtier the better, "but only on the playground." He also liked creative spitting and figured a little chin music made men out of boys in fast-pitch softball - he would be out of step with today's scholastic ethos I think it fair to say.
