Not what you thought it was............

So my fiance and I were sitting around talking and he said the word Mancho and I was thinking .....Mancho what the hell is that. He says Mancho you know like Mancho Mancho man I wanna be a Mancho man (Village People) I think I almost peed myself. I said have you always thought it was Mancho? Well yes for the last 40 years he thought it was Mancho. Then I realized and this is purely my brother fault for messing with me but he told me LED meant little electronic device, I took that to college with me. That was an embarrassing day in class. What is something that you thought was one thing only to later find out it was another?

I totally thought sheep were girl goats until I was in high school! Everyone still makes fun of me for that!!!

When I was little I used to sing Rudolp the red nosed reindeer: "............then one froggy Chrismas Eve" and always wondered what frogs had to do with it. (was raised speaking French and only knew a little bit of English, just enough to sing songs) I also sang: "I'm bringing home a white Christmas".

When I was younger, I used to think Red Lobster was actually Green Lobster (I think I just hated the color red too much..)

I thought the expression was "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes" until just a few years ago! And then I just about DIED of laughter when, on 30 Rock a couple weeks ago, there was a line of "idiots" picketing outside and Denise Richards was standing in it and she said "for all intensive purposes!" with a proud jut of her chin!

I told a friend that my sister was "pesto-vegetarian" when I meant pescetarian (doesn't eat meat except seafood).

Tea Bagging....
When I was a pre-teen, tea-bagging was a caffeine rush derived by sucking on tea-bags, and then jumping around with a slight high. Fast forward 30 years.

I saw some tea-bags dumped in the trash, and my son, aged 15, had a sleep-over with several of his friends. My wife had dumped those tea-bags, but I didn't know that. I jokingly said "I see you guys were tea-bagging - eh?"

They all looked at me wide-eyed, embarrassed. I continued...
"Oh come on! I used to do that with my friends years ago" - and so the conversation went.
I left it at a that, and it was not until later that night at a party that somebody advised me of my mistake.

I WAS APPALLED!
