Things you've misunderstood for years - like real world misheard lyrics
I'm sure everyone has a few things they never really 'got' but thought they did at the time. Only to discover years later they had it all wrong.

I mean apart from misheard song lyrics, childhood things or things other ppl misled you about. Things you really should have had no problem with and everyone else understood just fine.

eg:
one day on b3ta someone posted a thread with just "Gaz IM me" in it.

Now, I seem to have been the only one who read it as a poorly punctuated philosophical statement. I thought that they were trying to say "Gaz, I'm me!"

Only a few years later did I come to realise it was supposed to be IM like instant message.

Lyrics!
For ages (cos I'm a bit deaf) I was singing along to that Good Charlotte song, really wrongly - at first it started off with just trying to figure out what they were saying, but when I sang it in front of other peeps (ie not just to myself on my way to work) it was quite funny (for me) and VERY annoying to my teenager!

some of the lines go kind of like this...

As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of LA (the lame)

....

I heard, that evil comes disguised (combs the skies)
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light

...

Baptized in the river (bad times in the river)
I've seen the vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered (wanna bit of liver)
In the city was a sinner
...

Baptized in the river (bad times in the river)
I'm delivered (on a liver)
I'm delivered (on a liver)

feel sorry for my son HEH!
