Hmmm... eguiling theory, but there could be a three-way confusion going here.

Nhumrod is a teacher, albeit an ineffective one. This makes him a pedegogue.

Om called him a pederast, which is more properly a male homosexual with a taste for anal sex.

The third term refermenced is of course paedophile (US spelling: pedofile), denoting one who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. While a man can be both pederast and paedophile, it is not automatically the case that these go together.

And of couse a chiropody student is not fully trained until they can do podiatry - ie, toenails....
