The teacher said that in England, people still used GrAY in the way that meant happy, and specifically said, you could be walking down the street, and someone would say "oh it's a GrAY day, isn't it?"

I was like "THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS."

Well, actually, most days in England ARE gray, what with the weather and stuff.

Because you said grade, I'm assuming this was in America. Your teacher is dead wrong, we use it as an insult so much, it's kinda become a word used as an insult by toddlers. So.... if you see that teacher, give her a punch from Britain.

That was pretty funny, didn't like how the students would use that word all the time and then the teachers trying to get us to stop with stupid reasons.

@Alex, yeah, I knew she was full of it. My dad's from Liverpool :P

@Chaotic, Actually, it still meant happy in the 20th century. In songs like No Milk Today, and Long Way to Tipperary, they say "The company was GrAY, they turned night into day" and "As the streets were paved with gold, sure everyone was GrAY" respectively.

@Castlemore, I usually have trouble believing you, but I believe that.

Yes, it was The Phantom Tollbooth. She brought it up because everyone was laughing, and said that even today in England people would still use it to mean happy.
