A friend of mine from my college days told me that when she was a little kid, she thought the lyrics to Blowing in the Wind were:
"The Ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind, the ants are blowing in the wind"
Absolutely cracked me up.

From what I understand, the creator of the site always thought the Jimmy Hendrix song lyric was:
"Excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of "excuse me while I kiss the sky".0 -
I always have to fight the urge to correct someone when I hear them say, "I could care less." If you COULD care less, that means that you still care to come degree. What you mean is that you COULDN'T possibly care any less than you care right now. Therefore, you should say, "I COULDN'T care less."0

I had no idea why the people who held up a giant "D" and a picket fence always stood next to each other at football games. Now I do.0

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!

When WiFi first started getting popular my husband saw a sign at panara that said Free Wifi and he went in thinking it was a fancy type of bread lol0

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!
Yup, I thought that for quite a while!0 -
My darling daughter, when she was 3 was helping me make nachos. She asked if we could make 'f***kin moldy' to dip them in. She's 7 now and we still don't call it guacamole. We call it 'bleepin moldy' now, it still gets laughs.
LOL :laugh: :laugh:
I can't offer funnier than that I'm afraid:
Until about 1985, my Mother (a grown woman), believed that the Cretans were an ancient race of stupid Greek people0 -
I thought Mick Jagger was McJagger.... like just his last name. I asked my parents when I was like 19 what his first name was. They said "...Mick..." and started cracking up. I said "I thought it was like Ronald McJagger or something!"
That's still a running joke in my family. And I still refer to Mick Jagger as Ronald McJagger.

My husband has a bunch, but my favorite two are:
Dirty deeds and "the Thunder Chief" by AC/DC
and in U2's Pride (In the Name of Love) there's the line, "Early morning, April 4th, they took your life, they could not take your pride". Bono kind of slurs the words "the took your life" as he yells them and my husband thought he said "Atigula", like it was the name of a Roman emperor or something.
And as for myself, until just a couple of years ago I didn't know that grateful was spelled the way it is. I thought it was "greatful" (because that makes more sense to me) and I thought the Grateful Dead misspelled it on purpose.0 -
a friend of mine used to sing, "oh I wish I was a prawn cracker with flowers in my hair" instead of a punkrocker, I LOL everytime I hear that song!0

CSI theme song "Who are you, who, who" My mom always thought it was "New Orleans, New uu, new uuu"
HAHAH we still pick on her
No way those are the right ones??? My son and I say "uuuh wooah u u u u..!!" Oh well he's 4 he won't care.. but I feel like a dork for teaching him the wrong way to say it..0 -
My softball coach in college was trying to discuss music with the girls on the team and said, "Man that Flo Rida is pretty good." She pronounced it as all one word like flo-reed-a. We didn't say anything...0

this is not really mistaken words but when I was younger I seen the movie La bamba and not to long after that I was at a friends house and seen who I thought was named Richie Valentine(Lou Diamond Phillips) in another movie and stood up appalled saying to the room, "ohhh.. they so lied! Richie valentines isnt dead." My friends mom looking at the tv then to me with a stare like, child you must be the slowest person on the earth, started laughing and explained that "Lou Diamond Phillips" was just an actor playing the part of "Ritchie Valens" My friend was like you do know that people on tv are just actors, right?! Yeah.. my friend and her family laughed at me for awhile over that one.0

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. :grumble:
LMAO! That's great!0 -
my husband thought this:
"Blinded by the light/ revved up like a DOUCHE.... I had to explain to him what a Douse was. He still sings it this way for a laugh.
....Those aren't the words?!
I thought so to. Wow, you learn something everyday. What is a Douse anyway?
That was my question, what the hell is Douse and I too learned the correct words for the song today0 -

I thought "Beneath the snowy mantle cool and clean, the unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green." was "Beneath the snowy mantle cool and clean, the unborn rat lies waiting for his bowl of turnip greens." Helen Reddy "Snow Bird"
Also, my Dad used to call me rooster poot. Being from the south, he kinda ran it together. I was 17 before I realized what he was saying. There's a lot of things like that in Tennessee. Most folks need a translator when they visit.0 -
My son and i went to a Chinese restaurant and he wanted an egg roll, but he ordered a Chinese Chimiganga!!!
This made me remember when I was probably about 16, my Mom and I went through KFC and my Mom ordered Kentucky McNuggets. I wanted to crawl under the seat. LOL!!0 -
I had a friend ask me in all seriousness if I remembered who the lead singer of DAVE MATTHEWS band was. We still ask her this question all the time!0

When we were little my mom told us that we had to eat the crust of our bread because that's where all the vitamins were (by the way she swears she doesn't remember this) Apparently at some point my brothers wife (to give you an idea of how long we believed this) corrected him, but no one told me. It's not something that really comes up much, so until about LAST YEAR (I'm 28 and not regularly regarded as stupid) I believed this. I was at the dinner table with my husband, my brother and sister in law and my parents when I turned to my husband and said that he probably gets lots of vitamins from all the ends of the bread that he eats, since he likes the ends the best. Everyone except my brother laughed at me, and my brother explained that we had been lied to and he had recently learned the truth! I felt like such a moron!0

The first few times I heard the song G6 I thought it said "Like a cheese stick, like a cheese stick...feeling so fry like a cheese stick" and I thought what a stupid song!
I think I like this version better!0 -
When I was a kid I thought when someone died in a movie or on tv that they really died, and I thought oh god why would anyone want to be an actor. lol
yup me too, or that if they were injured that that too happened in real life.0
