Even if she had gotten the pronunciation right, it still wouldn’t be appropriate to say in a workplace

    1. I worked as an assistant teacher at a school here in Norway earlier this year. During this time, I saw one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

      Some student (they’re all 8th graders) did something crazy (I don’t remember what) and in response to this a Norwegian, redheaded, white child exclaimed, “BOMBOCLAT” in perfect pronunciation lol.

      As an asst. teacher I had to tell em all to quiet down, quit it, and get back to work. But I was fighting laughter REALLY hard lol.

    2. I worked in a building that had multiple colleges located there. We were planning a potluck when one of the other college’s assistants came up to me and asked if I’ll be making some colored greens. I was like. 🤔 Huh? What the hell is colored greens. She said you know. Colored greens and cornbread. 😒

      I said you mean collard greens? She said no colored.

      FYI she meant collard.
