Seriously? THAT’S what it means? I’ve never heard that expression. I even googled it. Nothing.

There is no Google translator for Redneck.
If you say "rein versed" with a thick Texas accent, it comes out sounding *almost* like "reimbursed".
No. Not kidding. Try it if you don't believe me.
This same teacher had also never heard of an invoice before today.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted to.
She's teaching the youth of America, people!
Just some food for thought.

Are you sure she wasn't using predictive text? That can insert pretty crazy stuff into your emails if your not careful. I don't know how to turn it off on the iPad and it's REALLY annoying. But, to be fair, I DO know what an invoice is.
Wow. How did she get thru college? Maybe she is in the crazy texting generation. I am glad you asked Nora because, I had no clue.
