It was a neat surprise to me the first time I stayed up past midnight when I was 7 or 8 and my sister told me that it had instantly turned from Friday to Saturday. Wooooow!!!
no means no.
For a long time I thought Ozzy was singing " I’m going after IT on a crazy train" not rails. I never put train and rails together, how fucking dumb is that.
I was the last to know Freddy Mercury was gay, when he died someone at work mentioned it and I was WTF? he’s queer?. I shit you not.
I dare you to listen to Black Sabbath’s song Turn up the night and not hear “Turnup the Knight!”. It will ruin the song for you like it did me. Whenever I hear that song now, that pops into my head and it sounds ubsurd lol.
The clitoris…

LOL and LOL!!
When I first moved to the US for grad school I had major issues with how Americans write numbers. You use commas every three orders of magnitude and in Russia we use the comma as a decimal point and do not separate our whole numbers in any way. It took forever to get used to it. I could never figure out how much things cost and I think my roommates ripped me off several times on the rent and bills for our house. I also think I have misunderstood every Pearl Jam song the first time I heard it.

Much more respectable that what I mishead. There was some crappy 1980s song by some 80’s band (which I just looked up “Kyrie” by Mr. Mister.") that was everywhere.
They are singing in latin or greek or something and sing “Kyrie Elisan” (or whatever).
I still hear it as “Carry a laser down the road that you will travel. Carry a laser on a highway in the night.”
Never could figure out how a Sci-Fi song could be such an annoying pop hit.

LMFAO.
When i was young i thought a goal keeper in football (soccer) was the person who kept the score…
fml.
I played peewee football as a kid, and our coach would sometimes have us do pushups at practice. I hated pushups, because I had very little upper body strength. Around the same age, we were at my mother’s friends house, and her husband asked me if I wanted some pushups. I, of course, said no. Repeatedly, cause he kept asking me. It wasn’t until he pulled them out of the freezer that I realized he was talking about the ice cream Push Ups–I think they were orange sherbert on a stick, with a waxed paper sleeve around them, and you had to ‘push up’ the ice cream to eat it after tearing off the paper cap - thus the name.
When i was in preschool/kindergarten I thought people who spoke different languages (not english) they would hear the foreign language and then their ears er something would translate it into English.
Around Xmas time maybe when I was 6-7 I was eating some smoked almonds and my cousin told me you smoked nuts by burning cigarettes and eating smoked nuts could give me lung cancer.
When I was in the 4th grade I did not really understand sex, but I had a brilliant idea for birth control. I told my teacher that men should just use an athletic cup instead of condoms. She said it might work, but it would not be as much fun.
When I was younger, I was not very athletic or into sports. During my first basketball practice, the coach announced we would do some conditioning and asked if anyone could explain what suicides were. I immediately explained it was when a person kills himself.
One time one of my neighborhood friends came over with a floppy disk of nude pictures. We looked at them on my Dad’s computer, but I felt very bad about it. I thought the size of the picture in bytes was the amount of memory it used in the computer; every time you looked at the picture, it used up that much memory and was gone forever from the computer.
For the first 10 years of my life, I thought my grandfather’s name was Paul. We all called him ‘Pa’, so my 10 year old self thought we were just shortening his name a little. Real name was Thomas, I was floored.
I had already fired hundreds of rounds out of a rifle and a machine gun till one day in the army I looked at the thing and asked myself…Waitaminute…how the fuck does this thing work???.
It’s not like they teach you in the army…I think I asked some other private or something. So I was pretty old not to know this.

LOL!
That’s funny because when I was small, my dad had a friend named Paul, and I thought everyone was calling him ‘Pa’. I didn’t know Paul was a name until 1st or 2nd grade.
Oh I have quite some
I refused to eat ground beef until I was 9 because I thought that in order to make it people would grind down whole cows in giant blenders.
I also thought “Terminator” and “Exterminator” were the same thing, when someone said they’d call the exterminator I’d think Arnold was going to show up and kill everyone. After someone explained it to me I started thinking Exterminator was a job the Terminator had found after the first movie. Only got it after I saw the first Men In Black movie.
I thought Airport meant a place where flying boats would park. I thought that the place you went to catch a plane was the Supermarket, for some reason.
Man, at first glance it seems T-Nation started out as a bunch of dumb kids.
Except for Nards. All his posts in this thread describe his ADULT stupidity.
LOL!

I could never get the knack of using the timing key/setting the headspace on a .50cal until studied the blueprints and figured out what each part did and how.
As a kid, I was one of those kids who really thought adults were very “adult”, that grownups interacted with each other in a thoughtful respectful way and that there were smart, relatively self-less people running things.
I was actually really late growing up from that. It probably wasn’t until I was pointlessly/maliciously fired from a job when I was like 15 that it started to click…
