Teacher: So if it's not a masculine noun and it's not a feminine noun it's a....
Kat: Nuet-
Girl: TRANSGENDER!
Teacher: Yes, neuter. (Note: direct translation from Russian is "the third middle gender")

*later*

Teacher: So how do you know what gender "building" is?
Kat: Because it's my[neuter] building.
Teacher: Good. So it's...?
Girl: Transgender!
Kat: ASLHDLJADAS THAT DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT DOES.

Okay fine, that last bit didn't really happen, but I wish it had. All I did was turn around and look at her incredulously.
