The video wasn't favorites, or even watched recently. Youtube keeps a backstock of all the videos you've watched, so even though I cleared my search history, it brought it up.
And remember, it didn't show the video, just the title. Which, in this case, was "Selma Hayek Feet Trample" in uppercase. I didn't even notice it until someone blurted out the title quizzically, at which point I went to another page with a stammer of "god damn it, Youtube" and turned beet red as I kept going.
I mentioned some time later to said blurter that we had been looking up Tarantino film scenes and that youtube has a weird way of suggesting videos. Not sure if I was believed.

I've been getting annoyed with YouTube making those suggestions anyway. Even though my computer stays home. It's like when you go in a store and they're in your face with the "Can I help You?". I'd rather they stay behind the counter and let me look around. I have two screennames on YouTube. I keep a G-rated history on one of them for fear of just such embarrassments as this. Plus, how about a second user name on your own computer. Separate desktops and bookmarks and saved passwords - for your public and private selves. You can hide one username's files from the other.

Similar thing happens to me. I'm always signed in to Youtube so sometimes I'll have friends round and they'll go on it to show me a video. You see a torrent of foot tease videos being recommended... it's like aaaarh you piece of shit! I can imagine it being worse in a class setting though.
To be honest, because it's from a Tarantino film, and Selma Hayek is hot, it probably rolled off as nothing unusual.

I'm ultra careful. Not only do I use two usernames on YouTube, but I also use two different browsers to avoid any trouble in case I forget to delete my history. IE for porn, Firefox for everything else.

I understand your concern. Its possible someone in your class might make the connection with your foot fetish but what other movies show Salma Hayaks body like that? I think this situation can be easily played off. Unless you just say "hell with it" and admit you like feet, if someone asks you can say Salma Hayak danced incredibly sexy in that scene.

you got very lucky. if i were in your same shoes with my youtube account, there would be no question in the minds of every onlooker that they woulda thought i was a foot freak based on the youtube suggestions popping up all over the front page. they woulda been like holy crap, this guy must like to lick and sniff feet like a piss-ant or something.

I think you can turn off suggestions and favorited videos that appear on your main page through the account options. Also, that sucks. I'd probably turn red as shit and feel like, woooooooooa! On the brightside, like everyone said. It was just a hot scene from a badass movie.

That's pretty cool. I don't go around proclaiming liking feet to everyone or anyone really but I don't deny it either. When the blurter called you on it, you shouldda been like, "You never saw Salma's foot scene in from Dusk till Dawn? Check this out, it's fuckin' awesome.." and played it.

dude you cant really tak an honest footdude's opinion. But I say, like anything else, you get over it. If you lose friends over it, were they really your friends?
