I think sometimes math teachers forget they are teaching math students. Either that, or they just like to use big words to confuse us and convince us they are smarter than we are. So, being the studious student that I am, I copy down words I don't know as well as their definition. The only problem is I DON'T KNOW THE DEFINITION. Hence the being confused part of class. So what I do is make up definitions that are somewhat-not-at-all-similar to the correct definition.
abirfurcation (n): the part of the book when Dumbledore's brother Aberforth became good and saved the day.
pedagogical (adj): of or relating to dinosaurs. also (n): a type of dessert that is gross (and sometimes healthy) - ex. Flan is a pedagogical dessert.
hysteresis (n): a thesis written about history
canard (n): a cannoli given with a card or a card given inside a cannoli
freezing (adj): cold to the point past concentration. see also: Kenna while sitting in math class
Now my only problem is I have absolutely no idea how this all relates to differential equations...
