- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

As someone in education i would bet money that since it is a vocabulary word with a simple definition in a subject that is hard to teach, it is included to make things easier on the teachers and students. Mind you easier isnt often a good thing, and in this case I'd say its lazy and irresponsible to focus on things that don't scaffold well or have much practical use
Maybe it shows up in some of the dreaded standardized tests, and that's why they're sure to teach it?
