An 11 year old being smarter than you.
Sounds about right.

That word was never taught in any of my schools/classes, doubt it was taught in your schools either.

I learned what Haughty meant on my 11th birthday, because I got Civilization 5. It was newly released. I played as China that night and recall the narrator calling Wu Zetian (I still remember her name) the Haughty Empress of China. Since I was 11 I perceived this as 'the Hotty Empress of China' and asked my parents why they called her a hotty. They explained the alternate version of the word.
