The epitome of uselessness in which English teachers are pressured by their social studies, science or math counterparts to hand out some form of quantified work over the summer, usually in the form of drawing, or as they put it, "visual response." It typically does not require reading the actual book but spending a few minutes glancing over Sparknotes or Shmoop may turn out to work to the student's benefit. Despite the uselessness and the lack of effort that it requires (or generates from students, for that matter), English teachers tend to grade rather harshly and criticize a student's artistic capabilities to send the message to future students that summer English homework should emulate the quality of works by Monet, Gogh, or da Vinci.
I usually put off my summer English homework to the last day because it takes less than an hour to finish it.

The most liberal teacher ever. She is the queen of political correctness and will most likely kick you out of her class or give you an office referral if you use gay/homosexual as an insult, but to be honest you probably deserved it. She enjoys overanalyzing anything from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Romeo and Juliet. Some people probably strongly dislike her, but you'll learn to love her once you get past the fact that her quizzes over acts/chapters are insanely hard.
CAITLYN: Hey, how did you do on the Romeo and Juliet Acts 1 and 2 Quiz?
RACHEL: Well I have a female english teacher so of course, I got a 63%.
CAITLYN: Nobody in my entire Pre-AP class got above a 75%, deadass.
RACHEL: Damn, can't wait for my female english teacher to say it's our fault that the entire class failed, not hers.

Similar to "I can't speak/talk correctly."
The only difference is that this phrase was made by God himself when he sent it down to "The rock."

Nina who is attempting to flirt, "Nice astronaut pants. 'Shit I can't English today but that ass is out of this world."
*Lynnzie attempts to say she's wrong but nothing comes out*
Lynnzie can't English right now.
