On two occasions, coming from two separate friends whom I consider trustworthy and honorable, I was told a similar story. Both individuals are teachers, and what they related to me was being caught in a situation on the first day of school where they were rolling off the attendance list and came across a most unusual name:
Shithead.
Confused by the awkward appellation, both reacted in kindred fashion, and instead of saying the child’s first name (a young girl in both instances), referred to the student by their surname (Miss So-and-So) and inquired as to how correctly pronounce their first name.
In both cases, the female student defiantly retorted:

An interesting film we came across at this week's Afm comes from Gaumont and is directed by Abel Ferry. Announced this week is High Lane, where a group of friends on vacation decide to venture onto a trail high up in the mountains that has been closed for repairs. The climb proves more perilous than planned. Especially as they soon realize that they're not alone. The adventure turns into a nightmare. Sounds a little like Deliverance, no? The Dp is Nicolas Massart, who also worked on the forthcoming French horror film Mutants, with the art director being Olivier Afonso, who worked on Mutants, Hitman and Frontier(S). Fanny Valette, Raphael Lenglet, Johan Libereau, Nicolas Giraud and Maud Wyler all star, Inside you can check out the first ever images and art from the film.
