bouyancy

One biting criticism often made about Education degrees is that they tend to encourage language that is imprecise, yet pedantic: a teacher who is professionally qualified by a degree in education will be required to get the answer “bouyancy” to the question “why do boats float?”, and when challenged — as Scent volunteered to be, by snarking at the Pathologue — can only respond by Authority.
