Today my teacher told us about Nacirema...I want to fool my family, but i can't find a website that has all the details on Nacirema's body ritual. Or if you want could you just give me a summary?

I don't think it is on a website unless some teacher has it posted. It originally was called "The Body Ritual Among the Nacerima" and appeared in the late sixties or early 70's. Basically it describes day to day hygiene in America.
They just use different terms from what we are used to. The dentist is called the holy mouth man, the hospital is spelled backwards etc. It is a fun exercise to deal with perception.
