Looking at it backwards. Things like this are supposed to get LESS strict as you grow up, not more. Are you gonna get in trouble for saying "hell" in college? |

No, but we also become more aware of the socio-political implications of our words, and how they don't exist in a vacuum but in relation to a wider society. I drop occasional f-bombs when I teach, but I definitely wouldn't use fuzzy little man-peachgot/:nigel:/etc in the classroom. |

You're the teacher, you have to be "professional" If I was a student, I totally would if I actually talked to people. |

If you took my class, you would talk. :I Because I will sit down beside quiet groups/people and ask them questions and discuss things to get them to talk. |

Pretty much what I was thinking. That doesn't really apply to me since I never [radio edit]ing shut up in class and my teachers usually get sick of me trying to raise my hand and being a know-it-all though. It's still awkward whenever they try to force people to participate though. |

As a quiet student, I appreciate it when professors reach out during, like, group work and stuff, but I hate being put on the spot in front of the entire class.

Yeah, it's during groupwork. I only call someone out if they're already looking at me and have that "I have something to say but I don't want to be seen as a keener for saying it" expression. |

Thank you for that, as well. I love it when professors do that. It's how I've gotten most of my participation this semester.

Yes, fuzzy little man-peach is a filter from a certain word often used as a slur against homosexuals. |

Just out of interest, is it more prevalent in the USA then in the UK? It's a known slur here, but it's normally used to refer to a cigarette than anything else. |

It's only used to refer to a cigarette as a joke. It exclusively means "gay person" here, and with an entirely negative* connotation. Also easily the most prevalent of homosexual slurs. Unlike "gay", it doesn't really have an alternate slang meaning, either; it's only used in regards to sexuality. *with the exception of an endearing term used between friends, like pretty much any insulting word. |

Certain parts of the Internet (4chan) use it in the same way as friends do as well--someone who makes art is a "drawfuzzy little man-peach," someone who's European is a "eurofuzzy little man-peach," etc. That's where the use of "Touhoufuzzy little man-peach" to refer to Touhou fans around here comes from, I believe. |

Though it's debatable how much that is "endearing." Ringtaile also uses it to describe himself, but he's pretty confident when it comes to such things. xP |
