Silly Poll

[otherstuff1957]

I asked a P5 class for their nicknames today and three of the boys are apparently named "Alai Na?" Have any of you run into this particular Nickname?

Actually, one of them told me that his name was "Alai Wah"!

Have you been drinking?

[Jack Jones]

Think they might be taking the p*ss

[Phil Conners]

Probably more like sleeping in class

[tuky]

Como?

Huh?

Whazat?

You're teaching down south, where lots of kids are named "Ali."

[Ijustwannateach]

A lot of my male students seem to be named "I heeeahh..." Don't know how they tell each other apart!

You're teaching down south, where lots of kids are named "Ali."

And if you're teaching in Isaan you might get the odd kid named "eeyung wah"

I was starting to think "Arai wa" meant "eleven years," as that was the most common answer my M5ers gave to my question,

"How long have you been studying English?"
