Okay so didn’t happen today, but back when I (F27) was in 8th grade. When I (F27) was in 8th grade i had overheard a kid snickering and say the line “Don’t drop the soap” and people laughed so i thought it was a reference to a movie or something. I, thinking it would be a riot to say this to my teacher, not knowing what it meant, said it to him who was a fairly older gentleman, probably about 50 something. His face twisted and asked me if i knew what that meant. I shook my head no and said i had overheard someone else say it. And he, in his best attempt at being PG, tried to hint at what it meant by saying something along the lines of “bending over in front of another while showering… well…” and i eventually picked it up and was just mortified. I still think about it to this day. Sorry Mr. Lagrange 😬

TL;DR: Told teacher “don’t drop the soap” before i knew what it meant
