what's an "ethem"

Hi

i was in school yesterday and the teacher called me an "ethem." WTF is an "ethem"- is it a good/bad compliment. I was just sitting down working hard as usual and I get called an "ethem." I'm confuzzled :eek:

What's an "ethem" TSR-ians?

Is Profesh online- maybe he'd know :s-smilie:
I'm not even sure how that's pronounced (ETH'm or eee-thm).. but I've never heard that word before so have no clue what it means! Sorry. If you weren't doing anything wrong its probably a compliment?!

Yes. :s-smilie:


Odd stuff, how old [roughly] is your teacher?
Might just be some old fashioned word.. or a word from some other part of England? =\
Are you sure he/she didn't say "heathen"?

Good bloke

Hm. Plausible.
The nearest thing I can think of is "effem", i.e a shortened slang term for an effeminate person, but since you're female that sort of negates the idea...
