Rude... lewd

If you aren't teaching ESL the awesomeness of those two words may not occur to you.

Rs and Ls are difficult.
During pronunciation class one of my students said the only girl in class was lude because she was from Beijing.
It was meant as a tease, he wasn't being a douche... it caused a laugh...
And then when I brought up Rude and Lewd, everyone lost it.

I have concluded:

In a class full of horney males, the only just, right and moral thing to do is to give out bonus points for lewdness.

It may get locker room - without the homoerotic overtones - real quick
