Just looked at this and it's pretty damn funny. Kudos to Weird Al.

And if a teacher uses this in high school (as sadly he might have to) instead of 4th grade, the cunning linguist pun will be the least of his problems -- the real issue is that kids should've learned all their grammar in elementary school!

(And does anybody still teach diagramming sentences?)

Weird Al is a genius! It's clearly for adults. I think the suggestive parts are damn cute. And, when did spastic become a word people are not supposed to use?

Wow! I never even noticed cunning linguist/cunnilinguist .

I wish that he would put out a totally G rated version. I am sure that many teachers would use it.

It is a degrading term for someone with/a characteristic of cerebral palsy.

Careful about your words here.

Brilliant? Sure.

Genius? ...Nah.
