He has to think of three words that sound like they end in 'shun' but DONT end in -tion, -sion or cian? I suspect the word 'shun' doesn't count...
EDIT: I'm an idiot.

Mumsnet is usually quite good for this stuff, a definite low point of my (late!) 20's that...
You're all making me feel very stupid.
FFS you don't need us to help you with that too do you Rich? 😉
Brilliant, he'll get a merit for that lot!

To be honest, I usually come here to make me feel better about myself 🙂

Lady gresley, he asked me for help as he was stumped, he now knows what a crustacean is, what a falchion is, and, most importantly, what a stanchion is. As well as that he knows that it's the FONT of all knowledge (obviously) not the fountain. Fortunately he didn't ask what FFS stands for, there's some education that can wait! (Unless he knows that already, he lives in Hartlepool, so it's entirely possible!!!).
Edit...And escutcheon!
Asian.
Pigeon?
Fortunately he didn't ask what FFS stands for,
It's sort of when you breath out through your teeth in an exasperated manner, isn't it? A longer one might be PFFFSSSSSH.
The only thing I'd add is to make he knows the definitions of the words. As a teacher I get annoyed when kids have either copied and pasted from the internet or have had parent's help, but have no idea what they've actually written down. At least turn it into a learning experience.
Good advice tom, I've done just that, cheers.
