Today I had an English test, and I forgot / didn't know the meaning / translation of the following words:

-upbringing
-approbation
-lenient
-hitchhiking

I blame each one of you. I have never seen any of you using such words, and so I failed to learn them properly from you. Why did you do this to me...

You'll have to work hard to redeem yourself in my eyes. Oh yes, you will.

I've been speaking English for almost 29 years and I have no idea what 'approbation' means.

You should blame your upbringing for why you've been so lenient towards learning English. Life isn't like hitchhiking where you're just going to get a free ride. Approbation.

I'm sorry, we've clearly been too lenient in your upbringing.

EDIT: Speedy shit.

Also, I didn't know how to write "5m x 3m" using words. It wasn't multiplication. I still don't know!

EDIT: NOT EVRYBODY IS AS SMART AS U NEPSOTIC

You mean 5m by 3m, if you mean dimensions that is?

I meant the dimensions, like it's 5m wide and 3m high. As far as I know 5 by 3 means multiplication and is equal 15

Any of you who didn't know the word 'approbate' is a retrobate, including me.

5 by 3 is dimensions, 5 times 3 is multiplication.

multiply 5 by 3

English is stupid. Let's all learn Russian instead.

Well 5 by 3 on its own is nearly always dimensions, I'm sure there are some exceptions.

People just ought to create a language that has the most basic grammar, no stupid masc. and fem. words etc. I mean like...what's the point in Esperanto, I thought that was supposed to be simple and easy.

Languages have words. What's the point in that? Let's just get rid of words!

Are you actually using a word from Urbandictionary or did you just mean reprobate?

I have often heard multiplication shortened to "X by Y'. Basically it's just confusing as hell.
