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.

Silent 'w's seem to be a common feature of spoken place names.Round these parts we have Sowerby ("Sorby") Brige and Slaithwaite ("Slathat").
The best bit is that it's not even consistent, e.g. "Adwick" is pronounced the way it's spelt in Adwick-le-Street, but "Addick" in Adwick upon Dearne. The two places are less than ten miles apart.
