As a teacher in a high school, I can vouch that this happens quite frequently. When a fellow faculty member showed me a write up slip with the, “that’s what she said” comment on it….I found difficulty trying to control my own laughter.

“why would you pretend to blow when you’re already doing it?”
That is a perfect TWSS! It made me laugh for about 5 minutes. Haha!
That’s hilarious!
Haha, in band, there are so many TWSSs. Like once, my teacher’s like “why would you pretend to blow when you’re already doing it?” and another time we were tuning the trumpet section and the teacher’s like “well I would tell you whether to push in or pull out but Becca’s big head is in the way!”
Episode idea: Michael and Todd Packer visit a school and go to the band room and hear all the TWSSs. Well maybe not, but it would be fun to imagine.
In my math class last year TWSS was used all the time, even by our teacher. The best one was when my teacher was like “Alright, now let’s flip it over and work on the backside” TWSS!
Also, my friend has gotten a detention for TWSS. Someone groaned really loudly, and he said it.
Well, I guess my family is filled with sexists, and the cast of The Office is, too.
I’m not sure if I’m the only one seeing this problem, but I can’t seem to view Jenna’s blog. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
#51 Rachel- Well said.
When I saw that Blackberry commercial, I thought it was John, but it didn’t sound just right…It’s all clear now, though.
I like how there’s a Blackberry advertisement on Andy & Angela’s wedding site. That might just be a coincidence, though.
hahaha the TWSS slip. i almost want one…
Oh man! someone got in big trouble at my school for saying that this french-fry was hard and long and sticky. When someone says something like that, how can you NOT twss??
The reason TWSS is written into the show is because it illustrates Michael’s lack of social sensitivity. And Michael, being an ass, is the joke. When people use TWSS in real life, they lack that context of poking fun at people who are sexists. Instead using TWSS they become sexists themselves.
Hahaha, love the Cornell emblem Andy! Very romantic :)
Re: 44
You mean Andy spelled it wrong. Never dismiss a spelling mistake as one that wasn’t thought out on purpose ;-)
There was also a very cute article on Oscar in this week’s Star Magazine.
It’s John in the Blackberry ad! Hehe!
That detention notice is AMAZING. I only wish that all of my detention slips were that memorable.
John’s voice is so funny. It sounds like a teenager that is changing voices, it’s really grave but sometimes it just cracks. So cute.
Arrgh, they spelt Rhode Island wrong on the location page of Andy & Angela’s wedding site…
The BlackBerry commercial is definitely JKras - you can tell when he says “whoa” and when his voice kind of cracks…
And Richard Avis = amazing. Seriously. Probably not the best thing to do in high school, but in college we said it ALL the time lol
