It’s thought that if they do, they aren’t serious about the marriage. FRANCE - At the end of the night, the wedding party gifts the married couple with a chamber pot of chocolate and champagne. The original custom was to add all kinds of drinks and leftovers to a chamber pot, and stay with the couple until they ate/drank every last drop of the “garbage” stew. CHINA - the groom shoots his bride with a bow and arrow (without the heads) several times, and then collects the arrows and breaks them during the ceremony, ensuring their love will last forever.

Now, I have to do some checking with my daughter and the urban dictionary on new words and changing meanings. Keeping up with this generation that watches TikTok, that spends time gaming, that sends messages in Teams and in Messenger Kids, is a necessity. It is a rapid-fire and a constantly-changing language scene. One afternoon, during our Grade 3 reading class, I was explaining that the book we had just read was fiction, realistic fiction. This is a story that is made-up yet is believable. One of my students asked, Is that story “cap,” Mrs. Haas? It took a few requests to repeat his word until I was pretty sure I heard “cap.” I had no idea what that meant but his classmates did. “Cap” means fake; it means made-up. After checking in with my daughter, also a bit new to that lingo, she did say that it can come off as, “Are you kidding me?” People even put the “cap” icon as a comment on someone’s post, to show doubt or disbelief. Really? And how word meanings change over time. I remember when teaching the benefits of laughter in Grade 1 health class, including the clean little joke, “What kind of shoes do cowboy babies wear? Cowboy booties.” Now, you cannot speak that “b” word without giggles erupting and the need for a precise description of the booties that babies wear on their feet. And, the puzzlement of students when the “bad joke of the day” includes that word in a seasonal riddle, as read over the announcements by the principal. What is the world coming to, the kids must wonder? The other day, a few students had to leave the classroom and head to talent show auditions. As they were exiting the room, a seated student shouted, that last one is “sus!” And, what a reaction! That last student retorted, “I AM NOT SUS!” I had to restore order in the classroom. What does this mean, to shout an accusation of “sus” out of the blue, unprovoked? I suspected that “sus” was short for “suspicious” or “suspect” and that was confirmed. What happens when we attach the label to someone? It seems it was a negative connotation, that time. In checking the urban dictionary, again, anything that raises an eyebrow can be deemed “sus. So, it’s possible that that last person was called “sus” for having an amazing talent show audition upcoming. But, from her reaction, I think that’s cap.
