Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"
I used to teach math and would occasionally do the same. The students loved it, always got a laugh or at least a grin out of it, which is actually quite helpful to alleviate the pain the material was otherwise clearly causing them.
I’d say as long as it’s not overdone, it can actually be quite helpful as a teaching device, because it shows that you can empathize with your students and recognize their feelings about the subject.
It also demonstrates that the students are paying attention.
Had an english teacher in college use the F word to great effect. He didnt drop it until several lectures in, and made sure to point out how effective it can be if it’s not overused.
