When I was in elementary school, our male teachers were addressed as 'sir'. In high school, it was always 'Mr. Soandso'. In university, it became 'Dr. Whatsyourface'. In grad school, my formality and apparent social skills have declined dramatically...
Today, I accidentally called one of my professors 'dude'. As in, 'Dude, I totally know what you mean!' while talking about brainmeats. Fortunately, he didn't seem to mind/notice, so...gravy.
Other notable moments of glory:
1. One time RC called one of her profs 'Buddy'. I can't remember the context so RC, if you're out there, please enlighten us.
2. One of JTL's students referred to him as 'mom'. No. Shit.
Anyone else have a slip up you want to share?
