Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 ‘Coach’ brand clothing and accessories are named for the buggy people ride in, drawn by a horse. Not for the guy who looks like Rob Ryan, and acts like Hank Bullough. Until September of 2018, I was clueless on this. (Among many other things, as some of you may well mutter.)
Jauronimo Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I was pretty sure that the phrase "like a dog in heat" referred to the fact that dogs have a lot of fur and therefore must get awfully hot in the summer until I dropped that gem in a casual conversation. The looks I got... 7 1

teef Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 when i was a kid, i thought being raped meant that someone came in and vandalized your home. i guess they "vandalize" something, but it's not a home. 1
Mark80 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Not mine, but my sister once asked in complete seriousness how they get the seeds out of a seedless watermelon. As if they somehow opened it up, removed the seeds and then sealed it back up for sale.

plenzmd1 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) When I was little and Vietnam was raging, I thought Vietnam was a place where you went to have wars, and it was just a big open field with soldiers and tanks..could not conceive of actual villages, towns, people getting bombed I had heard of WW1 and WW2..I just assumed they were fought in/on Vietnam too .

Royale with Cheese Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 When I was a kid, I thought all dogs were male, all cats were female. I never saw balls on a cat before so I assumed they all were girls. So the mother cat would have a litter of puppies and kittens when giving birth. 3

Are you just making this up for attention? 1 The draft was active, several older cousins, none who had gone on to college., a couple who ended up in country...better believe it was a topic of conversations at almost every family gathering. I certainly wasn't part of the conversation at age 6-11, but trust you me , you pick things up at that age. Had a cousin as well at the same time married this dude who had defected from Romania and i completely remember the adults talking about the Iron Curtain, and I took it literally. I thought this dude had lived behind some huge Iron Curtain like the Wizard of Oz

I suppose it was because right after the line, there's a cool guitar riff. Also, my older brother owned the album. For some reason, I thought Tommy was the lead singer, as in "Tommy and The Who." 1

Well that's not true at all. 1.1 million Canadians served in WWII for example; of those, like 45,000 died and more were injured.
