Unrelated to Morrissey but my son had his some milk and a buscuit and when i told him it was time for bed he says Dad i dipped my nob in my milk so obviously i ask what do you mean? and it turns out him and his mates call hobnobs just nobs so i was stunned for a minute.

Cute. Related to that, I once had a 11 y.o pupil who declared he "liked playing with his balls".
Well when you're 11 and just beginning to learn a foreign language, that's a really complicated thing to say, so I just kept a . Plus it was grammatically correct, so
Musicwise this year, I've already had a request to study "Thriller" by the late and great Michael, from a 12 y.o, but I don't think any of them has ever heard of Morrissey (sorry).
I try to inject a little show-biz in grammar to make it more interesting, like "Tony Parker was born in Belgium", but more often than not they start discussing the celebs in question and you lose control of the classroom in 2 minutes... So imagine if they knew Morrissey, in about 2 seconds we'd have a lively debate of "freak!" "poof!" "I luv him!" "Isn't he the guy with a 3rd nipple?" etc...
Mmmm.
