I still sometimes think about the guy in my lower secondary school English class in probably 2016 reading the infobox on the Wikipedia article for Tanzania, and saying out loud, "Official languages: none de jure??", pronouncing it in a heavy singsongy Norwegian accent like "NOO-nuh duh YEW-ruh??", apparently believing "None De Jure" to be the name of some sort of obscure African language rather than just meaning "no official language"

And then I remember that this was around the same time that the teacher asked what New York was named after, and I raised my hand and answered "the Dork of York". And then my soul goes nichijou_pencil_stab.mp4 for a bit

Hey, I also had a classmate who shat themselves in high school!

I also had a classmate in elementary who, during a field trip hike, accidentally tripped, rolled down a hill action movie style, and fell face first in a river that we were just warned was full of animal shit and was referred to as the "scat river"while a whole class of elementary school kids watched and laughed. He switched schools.

In the scale of embarassment accidents are accidents, they shouldn't count, that should include most cases of shitting themselves (unless it's a tactical self-shit and somehow someone reveals it).
