Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Thing You Have Misinterpreted Or Misunderstood? (Closed)

When I got my first zit, it was on the inside of my armpit and it kinda hurt. I showed my mom because I thought it was a spider bite. She told me it was puberty. I thought puberty was a type of spider so later that day I looked up “puberty spider” it was really weird.

Funny story. Not anything too serious tho. My mom has this scar on her chin, and one night I was wondering about it. I asked her what it was from and she said "From skiiin'", but it sounded like "scan" instead of "skiiin'". It went on like this for a while, and eventually she was like "FROM SKI-ING". We still laugh about it to this day.

I used to pronounce Depeche Mode Dah-peach-ee mode because I had never heard anyone say it before. My parents got a laugh out of it though.

That when my parents say maybe it means no...

I don't know how old I was when this started but I was definitely a kid - pre teen. Fast forward 20 years or so and I'm singing along to Billie Jean playing on the radio in the car and my husband bursts out laughing. He actually can't talk for laughing. Eventually he tells me I've been singing the wrong lyric all these years. For the best part of two decades I'd been singing the line "But my father is not my son." Only then, in that moment, did I realise the total nonsense of that lyric and wondered why on Earth I hadn't questioned my take on it before. Duh!

i used to think cheeseburgers and hamburgers with cheese were different. if i got a hamburger with cheese, i would eat it up but DON'T YOU DARE COME ANYWHERE NEAR ME WITH THAT CHEESEBURGER.

I’m 12 years old and until now I had no idea that faux fur was pronounced like, Foe fur. I. Was. In. The. Regional. Spelling. Bee.

pasghetti vs spaghetti

I thought gay meant happy

When I was about 5, my parents and I were on our way home when I suddenly really needed to pee. My father stepped on the gas as we were still about 25 mins away. Pretty soon it was getting to be too much so my mother told me to squeeze my cheeks and hold on. It really got hard to think past peeing so I whined. My mother looked in the visor mirror to see me gripping my face tightly with tears forming and burst out laughing HYSTERICALLY. Since she had meant my butt she lost it at the sight of me and we got to pull over so my father and I could pee. She didn't need to since she just had. Lol

For the longest time, I thought that My Chemical Romance was an anime series. It's a rock band.

When I was a child my grandmother has 2 close friends who we always called Aunt. I thought they were my grandmother's sisters. She did actually have 1 sister. One day I heard her talking on the phone telling someone that she only had one sister. I was confused because all that time I thought she really had 3 sisters.

OK so my sister and i went to vote for the election and before she put her ballot in the envelope she asked me, "Should i get this back?" and i replied no, because that would make sense. So the next day i go to go put them in the mail and her ballot isnt in her envelope, and i ask her, "why isnt your ballot in the envelope?" and she says, "i asked you if i should send this back and you said no!"

I thought Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp were the same person for years. I knew Johnny Depp's name and for some reason thought Orlando Bloom looked enough like him that I thought he was Johnny Depp as well.

I thought that the invoices for light (electricity), (electrical) current from the socket and (electricity) power for the TV were three different things.

When I was a small child, I thought the turn signal only worked, when the car knew where it was going.

I thought people liked my jokes. Lol apparently the joke was on me.

When I was little I thought that it was called 'Easter' because only people in the East celebrate it. I live in the West.

I though Tails was a girl, not a boy.

not me but my brother, he was singing a song and just dancing and being weird but then I hear what he was saying. he was singing to the song The man by the killers but instead of singing your looking at the man, he was saying you're looking like a man.
