Who is Breader Pedder?

This was the question I was asked a few days ago in my beginning ESL class. Breader Pedder? As you can imagine, I needed a bit more information.
  • "He's old. Lots of hair on face."
  • Hmmm.... I needed a bit more.
  • Amidst a jumble of Mandarin I hear "beautiful girlfriend."
  • Um, Angelina Jolie?
  • "Yes!"
  • Brad Pitt?
  • "Aah, Brad Pitt! Yes, Brad Pitt."
Never knew Brad Pitt's alias was Breader Pedder, now did you?

That story made me smile-I'm helping with an ESL class every couple weeks. There are mainly Korean students and sometimes I have no idea what they just said and it takes some digging to figure out what they meant. Sometimes nodding and smiling and continuing on works but usually I need to know what they meant with those undistinguishable words!
