SAN DIEGO — Jane Lynch admits that her high school grammar teacher, Mrs. Sumpter, would not have been happy with the latest title on her extensive resume — mayor of Funner, California.
"I don't know if it's a word," muses Lynch. "It's in the grammatical gray department." But the former co-star of "Glee" is embracing the word Funner as she recalls her opinionated teacher at Thornridge High School in Dolton, Illinois.
"She would not let you use the word n-i-c-e — 'Get off the fence and tell me what you really think. Things aren't nice.'"
