"ain't ain't a word, it ain't in the dictionary"

* classist and/or racist
* "ain't" is literally in the dictionary, with all the other 'a' words.
* sounds kinda like it's meant to be self-deprecating, but is it really?
* nevertheless, the above phrase was given with total seriousness by the public school teachers at my elementary school

@lioness my art teacher once tried to pull that, and I literally pulled the dictionary off the shelf in her classroom, flipped through the A's until I found ain't and was just like "There it is. Right there." That argument died off pretty quickly thereafter.
