teacher's wordplay

A joke made by school teacher with the aim of threatening his/her pupils in a stylish manner. These jokes fall flat on their face 100% of the time and only result in the class taking the teacher even less seriously. This disciplinary technique was pretty much outdated before they even started using it, yet still it is resorted to by teachers across the globe who can't control a class for shit.
Examples of teacher's wordplay:

Teacher: "OK, I can see we're having a lovely discussion here... perhaps you can come back and continue your lovely discussion at lunchtime!"
Pupils: "Ha, good one sir."

Teacher: "Right, if you keep talking, you'll be talking your self into a detention."
Pupils: "Ouch, that was cold blooded, sir."

Teacher: "Well, you're all chatting away, so you must all be finished! I guess it's time I set you some extra work!"
Pupils: "Ha, excellent wordplay, sir."

Teacher: "Odd, I asked for silence, but that's not my idea of silence."
Pupils: "I bet it isn't, sir!"

Teacher: "You haven't quite got the hang of being quiet. Maybe we can come back at lunchtime and practice it?"
Pupil: "Ha-de-fucking-ha, sir."

Teacher Burn

Simply the act of getting burned by a teacher in front of the whole class thus resulting in the class saying "Teacher Burn!"
Teacher: "Today we will be learning More On Lenses, or as I like to call the Christian Lenses" (More + On = Moron, Moron = Christian)

Class: "TEACHER BURN!"

teacher's petter 

Like a teacher's pet, but in addition to performing the various duties of a teacher's pet they also have sex with said teacher, thus improving their grade/classroom standing.
Angry Student 1: John got all A's again!

Angry Student 2: That's cause he's a teacher's petter.

Teacher Syndrome 

A syndrome educators experience in which they spend so much time in their specific field that they become fixated on it and discount other schools of thought. In extreme cases to the point of ignorantly insisting all other subjects should default to theirs.
Mr. Russel is suffering from teacher syndrome, he is habitually reminding everyone in his chemistry class that everything is chemistry, books are chemistry, math is chemistry, and PE is chemistry.

Teacher Tabbing 

When every Teacher has a fuck ton of tabs open on the toolbar for no apparent reason. Either there too stupid to shut down a website or they just want too look busy.
Steve: Have you seen how many tabs Miss has got open?

Greg: Yeah I know, she's Teacher Tabbing, she just wants too look busy so she can get a promotion or shes a fucking imbecile and can't shut down programs.
