Teachers: the names you will never name your own kids

The person who told me that one is the same one who shared orangejello and lemonjello as well as Female (fe-mah-lee) and shithead (shi-thead). No one is truly that stupid, and no one is so stumped as to coming up with a name as to read it on a bracelet or the food on a tray.

Snopes at your service.

And I think Snopes is right that there's more than a little racism, classism and regionalism going on in these urban legends.

Actually I debated adding the detail that the person who shared these "first hand" stories with me was more than a little racist. I was a young child at the time, still unsure of who/what to challenge, so I didn't. But I was very uncomfortable with her line of humor and even at that age doubtful of the validity of her tales.
