of a certain team Explanation: The context of the tweet is most likely referring to a recent football match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona which ended 2-3 in favor of Barcelona. The sentence has a slight sarcastic overtone and can be broken down in this way. استادها میدونن که وقتی * در جریان علاقه ی شاگردشون به یه تیمی هستن* میتونن سر کلاس نمک نریزن باهاش هی؟ = Do professors know that when * they are aware that their student is a fan of a certain team * they can not poke fun at them repeatedly in class? From my own personal experience, this is in no way intended in to be hostile and is more in a friendly nature where the professor pokes fun at a student whom he/she has a good relationship with and mostly occurs in classes that have a friendly vibe and this joke (feels more like getting roasted) is in no way misinterpreted by the student. But then again I could be wrong and the user might have assumed the joke might be in bad taste. |
