I remember one of the first question asked in university was "what's an electric current?" I said something along the lines "it's a directed flow of charged particles". The professor asked do you contain charged particles, do you move, are you an electric current?

Classic syllogistic fallacy, too!

    All electric currents transport charges
    Students transport charges
    Therefore, students are electric currents

Aristotélēs wouldn't approve of this one.

No, it’s valid reasoning.

  All things that transport charges are electric currents.
  Students transport charges.
  Therefore, students are electric currents.

It could be that we disagree on what it means to define something.

You may not be a current, hopefully that sparked some lively discussions in the classroom.

Humans also contain air, are we also air currents?

Some people hate getting stuck on such semantics, but I find them fascinating.

That professor probably had an electrifying personality
