Not sure Mr. Jerk Off can ever be topped in terms of silly names.

My fifth grade teach was Mrs. Buttree, who we used to call Old Wooden Ass behind her back.

Old Wooden Ass, I love it. Kids are fucking creative.

I went to Catholic school my freshman/sophomore years of HS. Father Rahee was a visiting priest from Lebanon that taught us theology for a year. He always referred to Jesus as "the Master". I convinced the class that after every time he said "The Master" we would in unison say "BADER" as loud as we could.

He was furious and we did it all year. He reverted to calling Jesus "the lord" or "our father" but out of habit he would revert back to "the Master" and we never missed the opportunity.

Thanks for the memory.
