This reminds me of a shut-up story( corny , but I'll tell it anyhow). I was walking past a group of students (7th gr. ) working and heard him tell the another to shut- up, but the way he said it , to me it sounded like fushia. I said to him what did you say? fushia? Oh my ,that is a wonderful color and went on to explain what it looked like. Well that got to be the way they said shut- up for the rest of the year- fushia. So we added a bit of humor and I didn't hear anymore shut- ups.
