Pow!Right in the kisser!
Not worthy of its own story, and related to this one, I had the reverse.
My first presentation during my undergrad philosophy degree. I'd shoehorned a load of physics into some existential framework and had nervously chattered my way through the paper, being proud of my (in retrospect embarrassingly naive) paper.
Questions followed, and the class smartarse tried for a full derail by piping up with 'so, if I've got this right, what you've actually managed to do is provide a solution to the mind-body problem, yes?'
My mind raced – I had no idea if he was right.
Luckily - my mouth bluffed for me.

Silence, followed by a smattering of applause from my classmates, and a wry smile from my tutor.
