What fluff!  Of course they know.

I asked my 11th class what a cosine is and received the following answers:

     My modder telld me to get my feet massreehot off the new cosine.

     I got my face slapped at the wedding when they caught me kissing my
sweet cosine from Ashdod.

    Could you please cosine this loan so I can make the payments on my new
car?


    Cosine-uhk   eetcha!  Let me work on this unseen and stop asking stupid
questions!!!!.


 You can see they must have had a great teacher.
