11. Oh, no! Not the back of the class!

Do I have to wear the dunce cap, too?

It is much more likely that I had forgotten than I am consciously choosing to ignore things you have said.

Who said I choose my own meanings for words? Lemme at 'em!

How can I get to a dictionary? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, I'm going to stick with cannibalize meaning eating your own, delusion meaning a firmly held belief in something when there is clear evidence that it is not true, and colloquial meaning common.

But surely if these are not what you mean, you can tell me what your definitions are. You, on the other hand, seem to be having a great deal of trouble providing any definitions in this context.

I just hate it when I waste everyone's time. After I am done with the back of the class, I shall proceed to the shame corner.

Please find it in your heart to forgive me for being so slow and dense. I know it must be terribly difficult to reach all the way down to my level, but I beg you not to give up on me.
