YKYASFW you lick your hands after playing the saxophone ( a brass instrument) and then try to soothe your band teacher when he gets mad at you about it. 

You're going to confuse everyone. It's a woodwind instrument (typically) made out of brass.

ykyasfw you see a kid walking with a thick book, see half of the cover for less than a second and immediately realize it's Oathbringer, think very sincerely about going over to compliment him on his reading choices, and then decide people are too scary and let him walk away.

ykyasfw you get yelled at in class for saying "storm it".

Sounds more like "you know your teacher is a sanderfan when"

I know that's why I said brass instrument. I was referring to my saxophone. I can see how I phrased that wrongly though. Thanks for the correction.
