Quote of the Day (disappointed)

"I don't like him. He burstses my bubble." - Comment from a student regarding a visitor in our class. When I asked her to explain her remark, she proceeded to describe how the visitor encroached too much into her interpersonal space. I thought it was a funny misuse of the idiom, but my parade was rained on when I learned that bursting someone's bubble is now used for that context as well. (9/18/12)
