Blow job - I thought it was blowing on something so I asked my parents. They both looked at each other and started giggling. I was like, what?what? what is it?

When I was little I heard some song that went, "She's a man eater," and I really was scared of these random women eating men. Oh, those poor men.

When I was in 1st Grade, some middle schoolers told me about a delicious new candy bar called FUBAR, they said it was made like a nesle crunch bar.....
I went around every convenient store near my house, including some when my parents went shopping and looked for it.....I was so sad when I couldn't find a place that carried FUBAR and it wasn't until I saw "Saving Private Ryan" that I understand what it meant (granted~ I heard it for the first and last time back then until I saw the movie).........whoa is me  |

Anyone remember the clothing company "Body Glove" which was kind of popular in the early 90s? Shortly after this brand became popular out came the cheap knock-off "Body Groove" (how cheesy and stupid is that?). Anyway, a guy at school (typically well-dressed, rather brandname conscious) would always wear these "Body Groove" shorts during gym class - as it turned out, weeks later, someone mentionned to him "man, why are you wearing those cheap knock-offs?" - the clown hadn't even realized they were knock-offs... guess he didn't actually look closely enough at what the words on his shorts were. Because he was embarassed, it was quite funny (he never wore those shorts again). So, for his birthday, everyone pitched in and got him an appropriate present - a "Body Groove" t-shirt. Ha ha! |

Here's one that goes the other way. I remember reading the word facade every now and then and of course, I would pronounce it --- in my head --- fak-ade.
The irony here is I knew what the word meant when hearing it spoken and pronounced correctly. Huh? |

In 5th grade I thought "monkey" was slang for "butt" instead of the male **** because I heard someone talking about "spanking the monkey" and I knew that it meant something bad from how they laughed but I never thought that "spanking" was also a slang term... I also thought a bj was when someone just blew his or her breathe on someone's ****

Funny that I'm not alone.
My American friend was telling me about the Korean daycare teacher teaching the "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song to his daughter. His daughter proudly showed her father her head, shoulders, "kneesens", and toes. |

I just had one on this board.
I was reading a thread and someone referred to speaking with a mod. In my head I saw a Brit in stylish suit on a scooter. The poster was actually referencing a moderator. |

Ha Ha! I thought that too!
It's so funny how literally kids interpret things.

Here's one I don't think anyone has ever heard.
When I was 19 I actually dated someone who told all their friends including me, that Burger King meat was actually 15% Kangaroo meat.
Since this person was a BK manger at the time I naturally believed them. I'm also very gullible when it comes to people in my life. ( "I don't lie to them so why would they lie to me?")
It wasn't until years later that I discovered his little joke!
It was at my workplace and I was telling this to co-workers who thought I was "playing" with them and didn't believe it for a second.
It was then I realized I had been fooled!

There was a field by my house with a telephone pole close to the street. On the pole was a sign that had a bunch of gibberish I didn't understand, but it had in big letters at the top "Not Ice"
I'm thinking, "It's the middle of summer, of course there isn't any ice." Wasn't until halfway through elementary school that it clicked in my head that it said "Notice", not "Not ice"  |

There was a sign posted in a turnaround my elementary school bus used.
It said:
Unlawful to Litter
$100 Fine
I thought it meant it was fine with the authorities if you wanted to throw your $100 bills on the ground there, but, alas, I never saw any. |

Beverly Hills Cop
In the scene where Jenny Summers bails Axel out of jail and they are walking to her car.
They approach the car (a nice Benz) and Axel says to Jenny "Is THIS your car?!"
Jenny replies with obviously not enough sarcasm
"Oh no in Beverly Hills we just take whichever car is closest."
So as a child I thought.... really? how can they just do this? what if people have a really nice car and someone drives it away? how can this be? |
