I had a vocabulary word in 6th grade that caused my teacher problems. When it came to Friday and test time she called out the word, jay-a-lay. I thought to myself as a smart assed 11 year old, WTF?? I asked her to repeat, and she said again, jay-a-lay!
I tried to remember the words, and studied over the others on my test... Gridiron, basketball, soccer, and a few other sports themed vocab words. Then, it came to me!!
Jay-a-lay was her misguided way of saying jai alai!! Ahh, a Kentucky education, lol!!
Ps. Her name was Evantha :scared :scared
