Education is verse and we all learn in different ways. But some of the things we know now we learnt it in an unconventional ways and that’s the essence of this thread…

Which English word, phrase or sentence did you learn in a funny way?

Mine is “Nincompoop”

Our Principal in my high school days when pissed off by our doings will just say “all of you are Nincompoop”
Sometimes we clap for him and hail him for using those big words on us.
This particular word has sticked in my head ever since.
