It turns out we’ve all been there. Except for some of us, it was longer ago than for others …

I once received an essay from a student with the file title thisisshit.docx.

I showed a professor an early draft (she asked) with a title that was something like "Title Goes Here" and (explain the thing) in parentheses in a couple paragraphs that were just topic sentences and she commented on them like I wasn't aware they couldn't stay that way .

So one time, I submitted a rough draft called "Fucking Title." My professor kindly pointed out that I should probably change that for the final. We laughed about it later, although I was mortified at the time. (I share this experience with all my students as a warning) https://t.co/m29uKZ6xrL

I once took a paper to my professor before submitting with the title “Insert Something Witty Here”. She brought it up IN CLASS. ♀️

And just in case you’re still struggling for inspiration …
Whenever you can't think of a witty title for your piece of art, just remember that the makers of 'High School Musical' had plugged that title in only for working purposes before, sighing, shrugging their shoulders and just going with it.
