Boss teacher pranks his fourth-grade class with the most absurd spelling test
Pencils up for your spelling test today, class.
Your first word is blorskee, as in, "I lost my blorskee at a carnival."
Don't know what a blorskee is? Neither does anyone else because it's a made-up word, just like every other word that was on the spelling test that teacher Joe Dombrowski gave his fourth-grade class on Wednesday as part of an early April Fools' Day prank.
Mr. Dombrowski filmed himself reading and spelling out the answers to the ridiculous spelling quiz, and posted the video to Facebook. Not only are the nonsense words he created excellent (especially the ones with three extra "silent" letters at the end), but the scandalized voices of his students are what really give this prank life.
It's hard to choose our favorite made-up word among the bunch, but we have a particular fondness for "gürrr," as in, "My friend told me a secret. I looked at her and said, 'Gürrr?'"
Mr. Dombrowski ended the quiz by shouting "April Fools' because this is an April Fools' joke!"
Bring us back to fourth grade, please.
