I'm a teacher. I thought you might like this (my latest Facebook updates):
So, we were playing a game with words that end with am. I put dam as the word. "Let me tell you what dam means," I said, trying to prevent them going home and telling their parents something bad. Before I got a chance to explain it, a student interrupted, "Oh, it's when the TV stops working and your dad hits it."
Oh, I should add, I was limited on letters to use (kind of a modified Making Words), so that's why I made dam.
