Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Childhood MisunderstandingsWhat were your most embarrassing misunderstandings as a child? By this I mean, when you thought certain words were completely innocent, so you used them in your speech...and suddenly, all the adults in the room froze in horror.
I, for one, thought that when people were horny, they were acting like rhinos. And I thought "doggy style" could refer to anything done by a dog, so when little Fluffy from next door started digging under the fence, I hollered, "Look, she's doing it doggy style!" for several people to hear. Or when I thought that being a virgin meant something bad, so I told people I wasn't (I was eight).
Ah shite, I just answered my own question...
EDIT: And though I wasn't a child when it happened, I used to think "n00b" was short for "Nubian" and meant as an insult to Black people.
