Get the Lovitz-Gillis Effectmug. A math teacher known for his innovative teaching methods at St. Thomas High School. He employs creative characters and scenarios to enhance math problem retention. For instance, he personifies parentheses in interval notation as "evil" brackets, emphasizing their adjacent numbers’ exclusion from number sets. Despite his unique approach, some students label him a "bad teacher" due to occasional lapses in explanation, although few questions are raised during his lessons.
Student 1: Did you understand Mr. Gillis's explanation of quadratic equations today?
Student 2: Kind of. He went off about superheroes and villains, but I guess it helped me remember the formula.

Get the Mr. Gillismug. The Gillie 2-Step is a dance move of sorts which consists of a repetitive action of 2 moves of the feet. It is reserved for natives of Gilmerton more commonly known as Gillie Radges. It tends to be practiced at the end of the night when the bar/clubs in Gilmerton close as it is felt that is the best time to show off the Gillie 2-Step moves.
The majority of Gillie Radges have two left feet and are therefore partial to the Gillie 2-Step, especially after sinking a ton of drink.
The Gillie 2-Step can also be utilised when crossing a busy road to avoid oncoming traffic and tends to be more effective than the hop, skip and a jump action.
