A recent reddit thread encouraged students to vent about the most cringeworthy things they've heard their fellow students say during class - and the results are hysterical.
Across various academic disciplines, students highlighted the funniest questions and answers they've heard in class. Here are some of the worst:

A public service.

"I was in an American History course and we were discussing the 1930's (and had been for a number of classes) when a girl who sat up front, who always arrived early and took very eager notes, raised her hand and asked ... 'What's an F.D.R.?'" - DoctorStein

Where French babies come from.
"In my French class there was a boy who asked, 'How do babies from France learn to speak french? How is that possible when they're just infants?' ... He seemed to assume every baby, everywhere was simply born speaking English. And the look on his face when our teacher tried to explain this was not the case was just heartbreaking. His mind was blown that day." - silkyroidrage
