I haven't heard the name swot for years, loved this limerick we always had a swot in our class but she happened to be my best friend from Form 1 to A Levels - she was fine with me however. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

Omg, not the rhyme I was expecting, but still very funny and interesting. What is the abbreviation for a beverage served on an airline (now defunct) owned at one time by Howard Hughes? I never heard of swot before—you are an educator par excellence.
