It's not just teach, Dub. we have xsattorneymommy, posting threads about how lawyers are screwing all kinds of people, intimating dreams of sapphic interludes with consuela and Shakira, and tossing skittles at the entire middle skool kuntingent.....Teach probably took it as where the word was coming from, and saw trouble...
