I have a friend, ok she's my wife, no not my wife, well kind
of a cocubine, look it doesn't matter who it is. So this is an
educational curriculum for people who only ever say
"weird", or, "interesting", to approve or disapprove of
things.
It would start out with a spectrum of other words
that
demonstrate the subtlety and nuance with which emotions
can be described including, "educational, irritating,
inspirational, entertaining, and other words that kind of
resemble weird and interesting, so that the student can be
inspired to explore their emotions.

A conference on how to avoid the scam offering you your own concubine, would be a Concubine Con Con. Which is weird. |

The original idea here was to encourage creativity by
allowing students of this curriculum to come up with
their own solutions, like "weirducational", or,
"interestating". |

Within your existing resources, though, I suppose the problem is that (a) it's uncool to *sound* judgmental, whereas (b) it's a practical necessity to *be* judgmental, from time to time. |

That explains the original semantic overloading of "weird" and "interesting", not to mention many other perversions of language. |

Couldn't you just teach her to say "bun" or "bone", like normal people? |

We read the words, but the meaning escapes us ... |
