I was born with an extra thumb on my left hand. And my right hand thumb is deformed. Nothing debilitating or limiting in any way. But definitely funny.
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
Please call me kk I think you've validated my point in your first sentence, you say it's a derogatory word.

Nub is not a derogatory word for stump. It just roughly means the same thing. It's just a play on words. I suspect that had the teacher heard that, she might have have found it hilarious herself. A great many people with physical impediments are quite willing and capable at laughing at themselves and the peculiarities of life that may have caused their physical difference. And I submit, that those that aren't, are likely people not worth knowing. I'm not condoning being mean spirited but rather suggest that one shouldn't take life so seriously that you can't laugh at mother natures little tricks. This is coming from someone who lived my whole life till he died in my late 20s, with a dad who had no use of his legs. Kittenkat, you aren't going to win any friends by being so aggressive. I know Brits are known for being a tad stiff, but try to lighten up.

Please call me kk I think you've validated my point in your first sentence, you say it's a derogatory word. If some people who are disabled find some humour in that in dark times with close friends and family, then I think that's fine, healthy even. I don't think it's ok for strangers to insult them in the supposed name of humour, I just don't. Also we don't call stand in teachers over here substitutes and I've never heard the term nub before. I was never going to get it. I don't look for friends on the Internet, I just speak as I find and enjoy conversation. If people like me they do, if they don't they don't.

Please re-read what I wrote more carefully. I said nub is NOT a derogatory word. You skipped right over the NOT part of my sentence. Which of course changes the meaning to the opposite of my intention.

Oh and how can you tell the dude is hitch hiking without thumbs? Odd.
He was holding a sign with his destination in his teeth.

"She's Nubs" by NOFX
It's kinda hard to wear high heels, or slip on banana peelsHow does she get in and out of tubsI hope she dont get mad, I hope she thinks this song is good not badCause we think that she's totally rad, she's nubs.No fingers, no toes, she doesn't own elbows,No phalanges no knobby knees to knockShe don't need knuckles or hands to go see punk rock bandsShe's always in the stands, she's nubsShe can't pick up a phone, she can't get dressed aloneShe's got no funny bone, she's nubsNo shoes for feet but we sure do think she's neat, she's nubs, she's nubs, she's nubs.I asked her if she want a drink, I asked her if she liked Toronto,I asked her to go out to the bar, but all she said was no thanks, no and noIt was time for us to leave, so I grabbed and shook her sleeveand told her I'd see her at the next club she got into a packand some guy put her on his back, she said goodbye and kinda waved her stubShe's got beauitful eyes, and breasts regular size,but without calves and thighs, she's nubsIt's hard to give good head or get tied to a bed,when all you've got is a body and head, she's nubsShe's nubs, She's nubs, She's nubs...Oh she may not walk the walk, and she may not like to talkBut boy she sure knows how to rock, she's nubs.

Not dead. Yet.
I'm not sure I understand the thread entirely, but after seeing the NOFX lyrics I was inspired to post more. They are geniuses...and the music ain't bad either. Sorry if this is off topic.
Liza and Louise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liza's had enough of menShe said she won't get burned againShe said they don't know how to fuckHer last boyfriend's a schmuck
Shared with her a nice diseaseHe kept her passive on her knees'Til one day she took his carAnd drove into the city
Liza had put down a fewWhen she met this girl named LouWho convinced her to go home with her
She said, "My name's LouiseNow will you take off your clothes please?
I want to take you to the moon and back
So get on your back"
With a flick of the tongue, she made her screamShe made her laugh, she made her danceShe was happy for the first timeAnd you know she wanted more
Now with her legs spread widerShe needed to have Louise inside herShe said, "I'll never forget the first timeYou kissed me, now I want you to fist me"
Louise didn't need a second invitationShe knew just what to doYeah, she knew just what to doLiza had cum a few times beforeBut she had never even seen the door
Into the world of pleasures of the fleshShe felt just like 16And her life before now was a dreamOr even a nightmare that's over and done
Just like warm healing rays, shining from the sunShe made her scream, she made her laughShe made her dance, she was happy forThe first time and you know she wanted moreYou know she wanted more, you know she wanted more
