Honesty does seem to be appreciated by most professors. Told one of them I missed an assignment because I was playing Factorio and she gave me an extension as well as a note that she appreciated me not bullshitting.
@@1kaz1 actually FR. I have a professor who wants students to just use his given name and not “Mr. (surname)” and especially not “Professor (surname), just because he hates bureaucracy in both the college and industry he works in. (Animation industry, and good thing he wasn't in Architecture in that case of anti-bureaucracy)
@@PurePain_1 oh I was being silly. The ancient Chinese bureaucracy was actually incredible small, You had to have a very vast knowledge base to be considered. It wasn’t actually evil until later. In any given organization you have people working towards the goal of the organization and people who work for the organization itself. The latter tend to be in charge. It’s like the old joke. “ the bureaucracy expands to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” It’s actually pretty interesting how it all worked. Unlike Modern China, Ancient China had a lot of innovative ideas. It’s only the Confucius mindset that really slowed them down compared to their European rivals, and even then only a little. Europeans had the “tall poppy syndrome” too. So it’s not really a simple easy definition.
@@aikotitilai3820 It's the seventh letter in the alphabeth it was originated by freedman Spurius Carvilius Ruga and added it to the roman teachings of the alphabeth. I hope this answers your adequate question of "What's a g?"
@@aikotitilai3820 That's an old rap ref: G is gangsta, meaning you're alright. if you're mother fucking g now, then you're the man. you're him. you're Sir Himothy Mother-Fucking G the First. tl;dr: it means you're very reliable , also in a cool way. :)
I had a professor like this. Year one assignment one I sent an email "I have procrastinated on Wikipedia for at least 20 hours stressing can that count as a pass?" He asked a very specific question on the topic that I replied to within 30 seconds and he just emailed back "You passed, get some sleep".
Starts off by compliment. Filling the middle with a personal want. End off with more compliments. Even while drunk the guy still knows the structure of persuasion. 10/10
In many pubs in Britain you can buy a yard of beer in a long glass, usually the aim to drink it all in one attempt in drinking games. It dates back to medieval times where a yard of ale was common for a celebration. Because it contains 2.5 pints or 1.4 litres, and that British beer is never light beer, you'll get drunk very quickly on multiple glasses.
@@cattysplatyeah but that has nothing to do with the phrase “good yard”. He was probably trying to say something else. That’s just hilarious drunken gibberish.
Personally, I've heard "having a conversation" referred to as "spinning a yarn" I doubt somebody (even very drunk) would sign off with "good fkn beer" Put those two together and I'd guess it was just a typo or an autocorrect issue
"I'd like a bottle of whatever you had so I don't have to remember what you said." Reciprocating the student's friendly rapport and subtly retaliating at the same time. A display of both affability and authority, the perfect closing line.
@@quadtripletts8822 I'm impressed, you managed to utilize a 3 syllable word when it appears that you have difficulties using words longer than a single syllable.
My brother once accidentally texted his boss, instead of a friend, something like, "Ayyy lmao, when am I coming over?" Before he sent an apology/wrong number text, his boss wrote back, "Bring whiskey."
Today my boss said something about it being a wonder she doesn't drink (we deal with the public) and I asked her if she wanted me to bring the fireball when I got off lunch.
I mean, there are a few genuinely good bosses. One day my boss was feeling lonely (he was a L3 director back then, 32 years old) and he invited me to crash out. Came back with a 600 euro bottle of dom perignon (thanks dude)
ROFL! 🤣 That's a great teacher, on many _many_ levels! - Student falterss in his responsibility to do schoolwork, but at least comes clean and asks for an extension? Granted. - Student uses exceptionally informal language with their teacher? Absolutely ignored due to understanding the students mental state. - Student suggests infidelity? Teacher sidesteps it _completely_ by calmly mentioning their wife. - To top it off... Teacher exhibits a great sense of humor through use of _"Yes, I'll have what _*_he's_*_ having please!"_ Indeed... Teacher is certifiably a _"mother|||||n g"_ of the *highest* order! 🤘
@@saveoursquirrels4241You might be right lol Good catch! It definitely come down to what he meant by _"And keep you bangin"_ in context of the girl heh
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLEyeah i always figured he was assuming that banging the wife would become less enjoyable due to the baldness, but mr martin then clarifies that it isn't a problem. but then again i could be wrong! after a night like that, idek if ol pat himself would be able to tell ya wtf he meant hy that - good yard
The fact that the teacher was so cool in return and granted him an extension actually suggests that Pat is probably a pretty good, likable student for the most part, despite this email
@@ArcanineEspeon Give it a shot sometime soon. It's pretty funny and while it has aged just a small bit, it's just as funny as ever and it is a blast to watch.
It doesn’t mean anything, at least not in any of the big English speaking nations. Pretty sure the guy was drunk out of his mind and the professor just copied what he said for fun
Look up "yard of ale." It's a drinking game in British pubs of downing large glasses of beer in one attempt. It's a compliment to the barkeep after drinking it, or your friends to show you are unfazed and actually enjoyed it.
Getting weird emails from the adult children I would be teaching is the other part of being a professor I want to do. The other parts are the raw act of teaching information, and financial security.
"Next time you email me I'd like a bottle of whatever you had so I don't have to remember what you said" is the perfect professional response to this lmao
meanwhile college professors just kinda do whatever the fuck they want. Some are strict but it seems like the overwhelming majority are like "yeah whatever." I think it comes from everyone in the room being an adult, the whole power aspect of child vs. adult is completely absent compared to public school, not to mention colleges ain't government regulated like public schools so the curriculum is kinda whatever the teacher thinks is necessary for the students to learn. It can change per-year in some classes, in others they might teach the same stuff for decades. Mr. Martin was probably a party animal in his younger days as well. He understood the whole "live fast die young" mentality of frat boy shenanigans and knew it was best to be friendly but professional.
If Patrick had given Mr. Martin a bottle (of whatever it was) at the end of the academic year, he would have become a mothereffing G in his own right! Let's hope he did. 😄
i once sent an email kinda like this when i was in college, except all i got in response was a welfare check email from the university counseling and mental health center. Granted, i was spiraling into alcoholism at the time, but still...
I had a Mr Martin who was bald and who was, indeed, an absolute G. I wonder if he might have been a great male role model for people without one, but he was a secondary school teacher, so I don't think this could be him, I think the two Mr Martins would have a great night drinking whatever he had together though, judging from this
Nearly every school has one teacher with whom it is. In my middle-school it was my music teacher (suck it Americans, we getting drunk once we reach double digits 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪) in my trades school it was the religion teacher (don't ask me why a machinist in training is supposed to learn the bible) in my cousins middle school it was the sport teacher and that's already the height of her education 😅
@@CharliMorganMusic At my alma mater, most of mine wouldn't have gotten annoyed about the email itself. That said, I _really_ doubt that most of my profs would've let people get an extension for being drunk. Maybe if they were otherwise a _really_ good student and it was a special occasion? Granted, I went to a huge state school, so the professors are busier and much more "sink or swim" than the one I transferred from (very small liberal arts college). Professors at that one would've been more OK with that.
Lol my teachers would go out drinking with us regularly getting absolutely pissed, but would give us no hand outs whatsoever when we were back in class. It was a german school for kind of grownups 18+ , so naturally we were pissed all day anyways. I still wonder how I got all the way into uni without going to rehab.
He really is a motherfcking G, like my mate Paul would be angry if he got this kinda email from his students. But Mr. Martin be like, "What u drinkin, mate? I need some of that 😂"
I'm shocked he still got his extension, even after all that. Normally when I ask, my instructors just give me a dirty look and say no, and I've never been drunk a day in my life lol
I like the fact that this prof didn't get all uppity about what a student does on their own time. More teachers need to be like that I reckon. School is school, and the teacher shouldn't get to dictate how you spend your time away. Probably helps that Patrick foresaw his hangover and asked sooner rather than later lmao
Ooh, this brings me back to that one time I emailed my philosophy teacher while drunk. I gave him a compliment, relationship advice, asked for tutoring sessions in order to be smarter (which I didn’t need, it’s philosophy), gave him more relationship advice, another compliment and spelt my own name wrong. Two days later, he halfheartedly thanked me for the advice. He’s now divorced from his ex-wife and is living happily with another man. I’m also philosophically smarter.
