Tales from admissions duty, part deux

Me: What can you tell me about plagiarism?
Student: You mean in the sexual sense?



And she was doing so well until then, too. I've scoured my brains for which word she could possibly have been thinking of, but nothing's coming to my (admittedly overworked and zombified by this point) mind.

Wait, I'm also actually confused. How on earth do you plagiarize in the sexual sense? The definition of the word literally means copying ideas so...uh.

Unless she misheard you or something? But there's not a lot of words similar to plagiarism, so idk.

Maybe she was thinking of another “ism”, but that’s not very likely. I’ve got nothing, lol.
