Today in my Ancient Greek class (we’re reading New Testament texts at the moment), the lecturer picked a student and asked him to explain to the class what circumcision was.
It was uncomfortable enough for me, not being the student he picked.
He went on to explain that he had to make sure that the whole class understood what it meant, because he once had a student who thought it meant sailing around the world.
