Hangman not as easy as it sounds.

Sometimes in class near the end we play hangman with the words that we learned that day. Our teacher always could figure them out before any letters were written. So, I decided to stump him with an english word. He agreed and everyone began to throw out letters. There were about three letters left and none of the native English speakers could get the word and I knew for sure our teacher who speaks English as his fourth language would not get it. And then he said ahhh! CATFISH. He got it! He beat four of us at hangman with our own language. How embarrassing.
