Be careful with Language

My school is currently looking at implementing a new house system and part of that involves naming the various houses. The teachers involved have decided to allow the students to choose the house names eg Indonesian Islands, Indonesian folk heroes, etc.

The student bulletin this morning there was a note from said teachers that said some of their best entries so far are related to birds, 'Garuda', 'Cendrawasih' and 'Burung Enggang'.

What they did not realise is that Burung is also Indonesian slang for 'penis' ........

I think that is 1 point to the students and 0 points to the expat teachers.
