That song "Jump around" always thought they were saying "Jabroni" when played at stadiums or sporting events

Wrapped up like a douche.

I spilt tea all over you and me

Smush it, by Salt n Pepa was definitely a perverted song, but I was a perverted boy at that age.

Old timers

I can't think of my misspelling/mispronunciations of my youth. There were many, but none are ringing a bell atm.

The old guy who drove our school bus pronounced humiliated as 'hume-a-lated". My family still pronounces it this way when we're BSing each other.

I was young. Also, who thought it would be a great idea to put a "b" in the middle of a word and just not pronounce it?

I didn't drink as a teenager and thought it was a "Roman coke" for years because people always say it so fast. I went to a party and my friend offered me a "Roman" coke, and I asked him what was in it besides coke. He looked at me sideways and said, "Uh, rum." I blurted out, "OMG, rum AND coke!" and explained how it sounded to me. He just handed me a cup and said, "You're retarded." We still laugh about it to this day.

In 8th grade some kid had to go to the whiteboard and write down class suggestions for current event issues or ethical dilemmas or some shite. We were brainstorming for a writing assignment, I believe.

Somebody in the class yells out "euthanasia" and this kid writes down "youth in Asia." That shite was hilarious and he had no idea what to do when everyone couldnt stop laughing.
