At my school... some of the teahcers used to refer to themselves as 'masters'......old fashioned place.
Anyway... I once had a real old-school guy trying to teach a not-very-interested class. We used to wind him up something rotten, and one day we were all being extremely unco-operative and not answering questions even when the answers were easy or obvious.
Eventually he snapped...
'you're all baiting me, for goodness sake!'
'stop this master-baiting immediately!'
Cue 20 teenagers falling off chairs in hysterical and disbelieving laughter for about 10 minutes.
My sides ached.
