The example could have used any number of other names/nouns to make the point. Surely the teacher knew that this example would not be well-received. I'm afraid some people court their own ruin.
/otoh, I had a teacher in high school who conjugated the verb "to fart" for her remedial English class. She said they'd never forget standard conjugation again with that example. As far as I know, she never got into any trouble, but (sadly) the early seventies had more common sense than today.
I miss the old days.
