SO. I despise my english teacher at the moment. I actually got in trouble because SHE didn't know what proverbial meant! A bit of back story pehaps. We're working on Critical Analytical essays, (I'm in grade ten btw. werd, moo-chan) and i basically wrote down "blah, blah, blah, grab the proverbial bull by the horns, more blah" and I got docked marks for using 'made up words'! (look up the ord! It DOES exist!) Then being the little smart a** that I am I looked it up in the dictionary and showed it to her; she said "Oh -my name here-, that language is MUCH to sophisticated for grade ten!" then I said,"what? just because YOU don't know what it means?". More marks docked. I'd complain if I wasn't so scared that I'd lose my temper and get suspended.... hehe. ANGST!! For those too lazy to look up "Proverbial"; whee click here! ---> http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/proverbial
