This is Called Findel

Nick, one of the most mischievous kids in fifth grade, is a master at skipping lessons with bizarre questions. However, his tough grammar teacher doesn’t fall for his tricks and asks him to prepare a report on the origins of words. Impressed by what he learns, Nick comes up with a brilliant idea to test his new knowledge: instead of saying "pen," he starts saying "findel." A meaningless word quickly spreads throughout the school, then the town, and even makes it to the television. Nick's innocent game leads to unexpected consequences...
