What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

Nike was pronounced "Nikey" a few thousand years ago, so it really the original way of saying it. Boudica rather than "Boadicea" is supposed to be closer to the way she would have said it. As for "Uranus" it always makes me think of this.

When I was a kid, Nestlesused to rhyme with 'tressels'.
At some point it got poncified and became Nestlés, and the end now sounds like 'sleighs'.
