That a virgin is an underage mother? That makes no sense. A virgin is someone who has not had sexual relations.

Si.
What she said was that a virgin (at the time in hebrew) meant an underage mother, and the meaning was changed over time to mean a person who has had no sexual intercourse.
It sounded even weirder at the time, trust me.

Probably does to be fair, our RS teacher was a bit ... questionable.
She probably just read this
In Luke the virginal conception was announced to a girl on the point of marrying Joseph. Mary was baffled. How could she become a mother before they had come together? One may wonder whether her astonishment resulted from the knowledge that, not having reached the age of puberty, she was not yet ready for motherhood, for virgin in Jewish parlance could designate a girl too physically immature to conceive. The angel, in his answer, seems to argue that God could allow the pre-pubertal Mary to conceive just as he had caused the post-menopausal Elizabeth to become pregnant. Again in Jewish parlance, a married woman past child-bearing age was a virgin for a second time.

Obviously he means "(of a dog's tail) upright or curved over the back."
