You know when you’ve been hearing something your whole life, and you misheard it all that time, and you sort of thought you knew what it meant, but it still confused you a bit, then one day…

I have to tell you about another misheard saying that’s had me chuckling all day.

 

Was working with @5thelement  on Friday and we were laughing about the ‘no expensive spares’ thing.

 

He said a few years back he was with a few mates having a beer and one of them, whilst discussing something or other that was obvious and could have been assumed to have been the case without saying it, said ‘of course, that’s a gibbon’

So the others turn and say ‘you what?’ And it turns out that all his life he’s thought the phrase ‘that’s a given’ is somehow involving a gibbon.

Apparently he did admit (he was in his 40s) he’d always thought it odd, but just carried on with it till someone pulled him up.

 

Sorry for stealing your story Dave, too good not to share.

I know what you mean of course, when I was a teen there was an album people were raving over and I thought it was about some sort of french sounding place place "bayerous", much later when I got to see it did I realise it was bare wires.

My most embarrassing one was REM.

I always used to sing the lyrics ‘it’s like a death row hard-on, two minutes too late’ to the song Ironic by Alanis Morrisette. 
Then whilst singing it loud and proud in the van one day the groundy did the old

’what did you just say?’
(death row pardon btw)

I used to sing " excuse me while I kiss this guy " ( Jimi Hendrix ) should be " excuse me while I kiss the sky "  . It was years later that I realized 🙂
