Quote of the Day

In my German class, my teacher is constantly saying 'ja wohl' or 'jawohl' (not sure which one it is) after we answer a question...

Me: "What does that even mean?"
German Buddy: "I don't know... probably stupid idiots."

Well, I looked up both these expressions on Google translate today and found out the following translations:
1. Ja wohl: surely
2. Jawohl: yes; yup; yes Sir! and Aye, aye Sir!

I'm guessing the teacher's not saying Aye, aye Sir! after we answer her questions because the last time I checked, German class was not held on a battleship. I think the 'stupid idiots' sounds a bit more up her alley.
