This happened when *I* was a student and it was one of the
most embarassing things in my life, though now it is pretty
funny.

We had dissected earthworms and afterwards we had to take our
earthworm up to the teacher's desk and he would point to some
pieces on the earthworm and we would have to tell him what
they were (an oral quiz).

There is a fat piece on the earthworm called a "Clitellum."
He pointed to this. I said "CLITORIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He got
a weird look on his face (I hadn't yet realized what I had
said as I was very anxious about this oral quiz). He
said, "no, tell, like you tell somebody something." Then I
said, "Oh, Clitellum!" It wasn't until I went back to my desk
that I realized what I had said. LOL
