    My son was about 10 or 11 at the time and we were in the truck and the song Amodeus came on. He started singing "hot potatoes, hot potatoes...hot potatoes."

    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 always thought "for all intensive purposes" made no sense...but, you know, we have so many senseless idioms and phrases in the English language...I just went with it!

    So, until I was 31 years old, I had no clue it was "for all intents and purposes" (wow! that really has a meaning now!).

    I am 31 years old.

    When I was about 8 I heard on the radio that illegal aliens were coming over the border... I thought it was aliens like "Close Encounters" and "E.T." Didn't sleep for two days!

    I have two....that song "Hang On Sloopy" by the McCoys? When I was little, I'd always sit in the backseat and belt out what I thought it was: "HANG ON STUPID, STUPID HANG ON!!!"

    And this makes me feel really dumb because deep down, I KNEW this....when I was a kid, I was obsessed with the movie White Christmas (still am, actually), but it made me think Vermont was the name of the ski resort town they went to. Now, I know deep in my brain, I knew Vermont was a state because I could sing that "50 Nifty United States" song perfectly WITH Vermont in it. My friends in college had a heydey with that one!

    Loving the replies so far.

    For years I thought Madonna was singing When you see her, say a prayer and kiss your *kitten* goodbye. I'm British, and was shocked at the BBC for playing it on the radio. Doh :blushing:

    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!

    OMG, I spit out my tea! THAT is a RIOT!

    My brother in law was told from a very young age that pork rinds were actually called Piggy Poofs. I think it's fitting though. Tee hee.

    My husband thought the line in "Oh Holy Night" was "round, young virgin". We have laughed about that every year. He is not the only person who thinks this apparently. LOL!

    Is it just me, or does Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" sound like "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" ?? :laugh:
    Also, when I was really young, my grandma would fix her cracked fingernails with super glue. But she called it her "nail glue". So, for years, I thought there was a special glue for your fingernails. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that my mom told me it was super glue! lol Silly grammy!
