    Peter Peter pumpkin eater, had a wife but couldn't EAT her!!! . My day of enlightenment was during a baby shower with a game called "Complete the Nursery Rhyme". Well, I VERY confidently AND loudly attempted to finish it, and got many blank, bewildered stares, before the bursts of laughter began. OH MAN... talk about embarrassing. :embarassed: :grumble:

    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!


    I should not have read this at work.. I am laughing so hard my eyes are watering!!

    When I was much younger I remember watching the news and they kept talking about "Youth in Asia". The story really didn't make any sense so I asked my dad. "what have the youth in Asia got to do with this?". Well, it turns the story was on Jack Kevorkian and euthanasia!

    These made my giggle. I'm sure I had a few, but the only thing I can think of is that I have always - and probably always will - pronounced "aspartame" as AS-PART-A-ME, because no one told me the right way until that was already in my brain.

    Here's a classic for you, being from the south of course my parents listened to a lot of old country. The George Jones hit, "He Stopped Loving Her Today", until I was in my late twenties and heard somebody singing it live I thought the words were: 'they placed a wreath upon the water' instead of 'they placed a wreath upon the door'. (It must have been the Possum's twang). I just always assumed the guy stopped loving her because he was lost at sea and they put the wreath upon the water... Geesh! :-)

    ***Also, once at a restaurant one of my best girlfriends ordered the chips and kwayso (queso), I was floored, now we all say kwayso and kwaysedillo (quesadillo). This is also the friend that though Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' said: 'Billie Jean is at my door' instead of 'Billie Jean is not my lover'... :-)

    I totally hate to admit this but until I was in 10th grade I always thought Alaska was an island. In elementary and middle school I always saw maps like this with Alaska down in the bottom like an island...

    It wasn't until 10th grade until I saw a map like this and I realized that Alaska is not an island...

    Ok I have no idea what this means and I am not about to google it or ask my child. I guess I'll just be in the dark.
    You can look it up on Urban Dictionary if you want a definition without pictures. It's not that bad.

    I used to think Mick Jagger's name was just one name (like Madonna or something) and it was McJagger... my best friend has never let me live that down.
