Sometimes I teach
So I teach ESL, and today's lesson included the question, "Have you ever eaten something you didn't like?" The lady I was asking could only manage to remember one word at a time, so we started with "intestines."
"Wow," I said, "What kind?"
"Uh, fish intestines."
(I write this up on the white board and draw a little picture of fish with intestines to check that that's what she means.)
She consults a dictionary. "Anglerfish intestines?" I draw a little lure on the fish's head. She nods.
"Raw anglerfish intestines."
...
"Sushi."
