I would like to add, from my Organic Chem prof last term
1. Envelopship = Envelope shape: It took me a bit to realize that I did not need to look up an "envelopship" on my book.
2. Living group = Leaving group: Since it's ORGANIC chem, something to have to do with "life" is not that random... I was wondering if Carbon, Oxygen, Hidrogen and Nitrogen were living groups but then some of the examples were things that can kill you...
Also I assign the fact of not knowing what a hemline is. When I read Jenny's assignment I was just about to go on a riot as I thought girls did not shave (their faces that is) but then I figured I should check what a hemline is... and lo and behold! It's almost a body-lenght away from a face.
