Teacher Thrilled To Discover Why Her Students Call Her The GOAT
Modern slang can be a bit elusive for people of older generations. Words that might have been explicit digs 30 years ago are now the highest compliments. While sometimes this generational divide can be used to lodge veiled insults at others, it can also give way to unexpected praise.
An 8th Grade math teacher went to r/NoStupidQuestions to get some advice about responding to being called “a goat” by her students.
The people of Reddit were quick to inform her that GOAT is used colloquially as an acronym for Greatest of All Time, which delighted the teacher.
Many commenters noted that she must be a great teacher to receive such compliments from middle schoolers. She responded with her wholesome motivations for becoming an educator.
Others quickly pointed out that a similar experience happened to Meryl Streep on the Don't Look Up set. She thought her castmates compared her to the farm animal instead of complimenting her.
While some questioned the post's authenticity, the OP clarified that she was unaware of Urban Dictionary before asking Reddit.
