When I was young, we were always told in school to stop telling bad things o other students in class.
What the teacher would say was, 'You must stop bullying each other. I'm fed up with hearing "so and so" did this to me, or "so and so" did that.
Now there was always this one person in the year above me, and I didn't know her name, so I always assumed, even though it wasn't, that her name was "so and so".
