Please tell me why you're so stupid.

Example: I thought the Arby's sign (the cowboy hat) was a weird pile of roast beef until I was, ooooh, 16.

For real Tongue Tied My best friend still almost pees her pants when she thinks of this.

I pronounced "dolphin" with an extra syllable until I was in college.

Dolphin = 2 syllables

Dolaphin = 3 syllables

I blame my immigrant parents.

There's a choice on the Chili's menu that's called " Guiltless Chicken". (Or, at least there was when I was in college). I thought it said "Gutless chicken". My friends still tease me about it.

JoLiz · October 2010

I'm blond and polish... do I really need to tell you more??

sarcole530 · October 2010

The song line "signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!" I thought said, "Time is the limit, I'm yours!" LOL!

I had the HUGEST crush on the singer of Technotronics when I was a kid. It took me until I was an adult to realize it was a girl and not a guy Embarrassed

C.Mo · October 2010

I bragged in my very first English paper in college that I had awesome spelling and grammEr skills (the topic was "what makes me a good writer").

My teacher actually pointed at me in class and laughed.

cranberry27 · October 2010

I am notorious for this!

Every kiss begins with Kay? Took me years.

The basketball arena in Champaign, IL is nicknamed "The House of Paign" Again, almost a year.

Christopher = Topher

The 31 hidden in that stupid ugly Baskin Robbins logo (but I think that one is hard!)

There is a store that has my maiden name...I could not for the life of me ever remember the name of the stupid store because they spelled it in a really crazy way, so I couldn't make the two connect. That was really embarassing. I would forget and people would have to remind me.

Ooooo, there are so many more I can't remember. But DH can list them off.

Until I was well into my 20's, I thought the song "Dream On" was by Led Zeppelin, not Aerosmith.

Sort of similar:

I was in 4th grade when Greg Louganis (sp?) won the gold medal in diving. I had a MASSIVE crush on him.

(Not meant to be offensive regarding his sexual preference! ) It is just funny to think that as a child, I thought I had a chance with ANY famous person.

mavilabride4evah · October 2010

For a loooooong time I thought that if a pregnant woman pooped hard enough, she would give birth. This is why:

When my cousin got pregnant with #1, I was about 10 maybe even 9. We were at a bbq and my mom told me to ask her if she wanted a burger. She told me no because they make her constipated and she didn't want to risk having the baby early from pushing so hard in the bathroom. Tongue Tied

LI444 · October 2010

I pronounced "facade" as "fuh-cade". Yeah. My husband still laughs his ass off when he thinks of it.

I did the same thing but I found out a few years later. It's vastly different to Aerosmiths other music. Totally understandable.

tigergreen · October 2010

I literally went 20 rounds at the dinner table with my Dad because he was pronouncing "Thousand Island" wrong....I was adamant that it was "thousand IZland."

margarita1365 · October 2010

Back when I knew extremely little about football, I was once watching a game with DH when the announcer said something about one of the players being a Pro-Bowler. I stupidly said, "You mean he's an NFL player AND a professional bowler?!?" DH still teases me about it to this day.

ToBeMrsC6907 · October 2010

I thought bratwurst had an "h" in it, like "brathwurst".

1SwtWld · October 2010

A guy showed me his badge at a bar one night. I said, Uninformed Police? What does that mean? Um, yeah drunk ass. It was Uniformed Police. I still can't live that one down.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · October 2010

A couple days ago my husband pointed and laughed at me when I yelled that a baseball player got a base run...not a base hit. He thought I was cute and later told my mom and they both laughed. I got annoyed, I don't think it's that funny.

katypresson · October 2010

That Sara Lee bread jingle...I always thought they were saying, "Nobody does it like Sara Lee".....until I saw a Sara Lee truck. The saying is really, "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee".

Oh!?

I pronounce things alll wrong cuz of my immigrant parents.

I say churn left instead of turn left.

I do not understand most expressions cuz I didn't grow up with them and never heard most of them until I was an adult. The only one that comes to mind right now for an example is "nipping a rose in the bud". I always thought it was "nipping a rose in the butt" and didn't understand what the heck it meant until a friend explained it to me.

I thought our local diner was a haunted house when I was a kid because it looked like a spooky gray mansion from the outside.

nolebride · October 2010

When I was 10, I argued with this other little girl that my dad was 10 feet tall...her dad was 6 ft so my dad was obviously taller and better. I was so adament that I called my dad to confirm. He confirmed that he was 5 ft 10 inches. I still feel like an as$ about that one.

Guilty of this one too until a few years ago.

I once spent ten minutes walking around a wal mart parking lot because I could't find my car. It was right up front by the door. I had to have walked past it at least 3 times.

Jimsgirl5821 · October 2010

You know that Steve Miller song "Jet Airliner"? Up until a couple years ago I thought the words were"Big ol' jet had a light on, dont carry me too far away. "

In high school, at a restaurant with friends, my BFF and I thought that the people sitting at the next table over looked exactly like us. We were very excited about this discovery until we realized we were looking in a mirror.

Echowysp · October 2010

When we were putting the pnp together before ds was born, I thought the changing table part was the bassinet. I couldn't imagine a baby sleeping comfortably in there, but insisted to dh that it was the bassinet. Once we brought ds home, I realized I was wrong. I giggle now when I imagine my newborn snoozing away on the flimsy little changing table.

jbl126 · October 2010

When I was younger, I swore my house that I grew up in had a secret tunnel from the closet in my room to my kitchen. I would be in the closet and my friend would be in the kitchen and I would bang on the walls to see if she could hear me in the kitchen.

anarivera · October 2010

English is my second language and there are expressions that I don't understands and other that doesn't translate literally, like: "I can't help". I always thougth that meant "I'm not helpful doing this".

So when someone explained me what does it means, I understood that Elvis Presley's song "I can't help falling in love with you" wasn't a depressing song,and instead it was beatifull love song

DarthNBJenni · October 2010

I used to sing "Ohhh Rumplestiltskin" instead of "Ohhh rub that smooth skin" in Baby Got Back.

I know! That was my reason for arguing with my friends about it. I was like "Duh, it's because you won't get a big gut from eating it". I swear I can read!

This post if fun. I keep thinking of things...because I'm stupid.

When I was a kid, I thought twins were made when a couple had sex twice, right in a row.

Edit: This is not to be confused with "Irish Twin Girl" from before my time on TB:) I'm sad I missed that day...
