One of my students used the following word on one of their Final Exams, perhaps ya'll can help me come up with a good definition for it:

C'est moi
I was raised Mormon, but now I'm a hippie Quaker living in the OC with my two teenage kids: CatGirl & GameBoy.
Twenty-six years ago I lost my right leg to bone cancer. Awhile ago I had an antibiotic-resistant infection in my lower left leg, and now I'm healing from surgery and feeling better every day.
I like gardening, making history, outrigger canoeing, trying new things, and my afternoon cup of tea.

Something relating to extremely easy tasks/classes?
Something relating to failing a final exam?
Hypocrispy- the state of a food which is neither crispy or soggy but more towards the crispy end without being crispy enough....
(just finished listening to a thingy about hypomania)
I can't quite put my tongue on it, but I think it must have something to do with disability politics.
