confirming learning

Well, it **sorta** rhymes.
Refers to an interval of either formal schooling or first-hand experience dat really drives home da truth/validity of a belief or philosophy dat you had already been familiar wif, rather than your merely being introduced to da concept for da first time.

One prime example of a "confirming learning" scenario would be if you are sitting wif a much-liked individual in some form of a group-chair --- i.e., couch, bleachers, bench-swing, etc. --- and a third person comes along and unceremoniously plops himself down right between da two of you, rather than politely asking if you guys could please scooch over a bit to make room for him on one side (well, of course, if he hadn't actually been scheduled to meet up with you two in da first place, he should also humbly ask if it's okay for him to come and join you to begin with!): from da diligent guidance-tutoring of your parents and/or other caring grownups, you may have already been fully aware of how rude/upsetting it is to position yourself between two people who are conversing or otherwise actively/socially interacting, but having it actually happen to you in real life like this glaringly demonstrates da true scope/depth/nature of said inconsiderate action.
