I remember thinking it was "do the legg-ed lady", like it was some kind of dance.

were not good to eat. My dad never let us shoot them when we were younger because he said they were not good to eat. Got older, shot some and ate them and they are pretty good. Now, I kill them when I can.


poules d'eau is the correct word and the pronunciation is "Pouldoo"

Until I was 8, I thought the world was in black and white when my Grandmother was young... due to old movies being in black and white.

A cousin of mine never liked getting to NYC as a kid and he thought the Lord's Prayer included the line, "and lead us not into Penn Station, but deliver us from evil."

I thought bedroom suite was pronounced "sweet" and not "suit." Who knew?


So when you check into a hotel you request a "suit" instead of a suite(sweet) ?

I still don't know the proper way to abbreviate the city Alexandria, often referred to as "Ell-eck." Alec and Alex just don't seem right. Elec also looks dumb. I have resorted to always spelling the whole word out when writing about it.

You mean Hootie


I thought Darius Rucker was Hootie until he started performing on his own and a friend pointed out to me that neither "Hootie" not "the blowfish" were references to him.


ETA- the blowfish could be a cool name for a horn band that does a lot of coke

Also, when I was a kid I thought it was "War War 1 & War War 2"


Me and all my friends thought this too. I still find myself saying it on accident every now and then although I know it's not correct.

I just found out a few months ago that 'multible' is not a word.

You also seem to think they are named poodoo ducks... It's poule d' eau. Which is French for "water hen"
