Hey Pandas, What Is A Thing That Took You An Embarrassing Amount Of Time To Figure Out?

The lyrics from Free From Desire. I always wondered why she sang "Mine incense is purified" until this year when I found out it is "mind and senses purified."

That final lyrics to the song Mr. Blue Sky by ELO are “please turn me over”, and that this is referring to turning over the record on the record player to continue the album.

My 4yr old thinks that when you sneeze/burp etc you say “garden me” - I hope he never figures out that he’s wrong and I will be very unhappy if anyone corrects him. It’s so cute.

Just few years ago I figure out what is polo shirt - in my language polo košile. I'd never seen it written, just spoken, so for me it was polokošile and polo- is also our prefix for half-. So I thought it's a halfshirt because it doesn't have the buttons all the way down like a "real" shirt, like something halfway between a T-shirt and a shirt

Took me until I was 9 to figure out that the Aardwolf isn't a crossbreed of an aardvark and a wolf.

Until I was like, nine, I thought that lightning was pronounced “lightming”. I also thought there were two different ways to say the name Gavin; “Gavin” and “Gabin”

Was over 40 before I found out that the term "old wise tale" is actually "old wives' tale"...

That the stopwatch at the top of the program "60 Minutes" is counting down 60 minutes.

That people who should know what they're doing because it is their job or responsibility ACTUALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Incompetence is real.

That the Property Brothers (Drew Scott and Jonathan Scott) are twins. I've been watching the show since I was young!

I was in my 20s or 30s before I realized that a steer was just a castrated bull.

For too many years, I thought the song "leaving on a jet plane" was about an astronaut going into space (this was pre Armageddon, btw.) I knew what a plane was, and 80's movies showed jets going into space, so the combination, plus the line "don't know when I'll be back again" confused me.

That I have 2 webbed toes on each foot. I only realised this about a year ago. All those many many baths over all that time and I only just realised. I am 46 years old.

My sister thinks that “volleyball” is “Ballyball.” We have had many heated arguments about this.

I swear it wasn't with bad intentions, but, when i was a kid, i thought that fur coats weren't actually made of fur, i thought they used those "furry fabrics" and printed the animals spots/stripes/etc on the fabric, and i used to think they were expensive because the process of printing was difficult, but when i grew up and learned how it was made, i felt so bad, ( if someone gave me one, i would feel sooo bad - because, even though i am not the one who hunted the animal, it's because of me tha they did so, because the gift was for me - so i would probably throw up over the coat and throw it away!

That great Britain isnt a country

That a cockapoo/cockerpoo is a type of dog, not a type of bird.

The last verse of Randy Newman's "Burn On." It says that when a river catches on fire, the insurance companies consider it an "Act of God."

This one is from when I was a child : there was only one asian girl in my school and she was named Nathalie. So I was convinced that it was an asian name. Years later, I was maybe 17, I met a white woman named Nathalie. And I was like "whaaat? Why are you called like that? Have you asian origins?" The woman was O.O ??

That hands have muscles in them and aren’t just skin sacks of bone and fats. I was twelve lol
