When I was at high school, a fairly good-looking American teacher came to the English class.
His class was like he called up students’ name one by one, and those who were called went to the front and had to talk to him in English.
Prior to the class, he had a list of student names written in ABC.
At the beginning of his class, girls were making a fuss as he was good-looking.
But that American teacher was sort of the strict person who remonstrated with them, and encouraged them to study seriously, so eventually every student got to take his class quietly.
The class went well, and the turn of Shimpo-san, who was kinda popular among boys, came.
The American teacher called her name loud as he did for the previous students.
“The next one is, hmm ahhh..... Chimpo! Chimpo-san!”
(Note: Chimpo means “Penis”)
(Note: Chimpo means “Penis”)
All the students got stunned. Everyone there thought like “We must not laugh!!!”
Probably he was trying to say “Shimpo” but it sounded absolutely like “Chimpo” in fluent Japanese,
But we couldn’t keep quiet because his Japanese wasn’t fluent at all but only his “Chimpo” sounded definitely native. One top of that, he was calling “Chimpo” with “san” so politely.
We ended up laughing so much, and Shimpo-san was so blushed and drooped her head.
The American teacher misunderstood that Shimpo-san was made fun of by other students, and shouted “Shuuuuuut uuuuuuuuup!!!” which was loud enough to drown out students’ laugh.
The classroom turned to be silent due to his angry face and his burning spirit.
He put a hand on Shimpo-san’s shoulder and said “Why do you guys laugh at Chimpo? Has Chimpo done something wrong?”.
I’m pretty sure that everybody then thought “Because of you! And please stop repeatedly mentioning male’s sex organs!”.
He tried to comfort her by saying
“Chimpo, cheer up! Come to the front. Chimpo, stand up!”
Shimpo-san laughed too.
