'Scuse me while I kiss this guy

[Cajungal]

One or two misheard words (or even parts of words) can change the meaning of a sentence.

There are a couple of people behind me chatting, and the guy is some kind of artist. He was just telling the girl that he needs to get out more and see some things.

Here's what I hear from the girl: "Lookin' for menstruation?"

I'm thinking, "He'd be the only one."

Of course, I realized half a second later that she said, "Lookin for some inspiration?"

It made me laugh to myself. ^_^ Has this happened to anyone recently?

You have NO idea! And neither can I because I get all these mishearings all the time, and can never remember....

When backing out of a driveway and asking your partner:

"Is a car coming?"

and she responds

"Noone's coming"

90% of the time at work I ask customers "Did you want anything besides meat and cheese on your sandwich?" they'll respond with "I'll have a soda" or "I'll have chips."

Thanks for listening, assfaces! Hope you choke on your pickles.

Edit: I'm running on 2 hours of sleep and totally misunderstood the topic. IRONY'D.

Food person: "Enjoy your meal!"
Me: "You, too!"

(Talking to my boss on the phone.)
Him: "I'll talk to you later."
Me: "Okay, bye! Love ya!


I do stupid shit like this all the time.

Seems like a Rathergood topic, CG.

Good lord, ever since I have a girlfriend, I've really have to almost physically restrain myself from saying 'Love ya' to anyone on the phone. Bloody nuisance that.

Do you mind if I kiss you? That is my favorite Internet webpage EVAR.

Seriously, I've had it bookmarked for years and I can never ever hear that aria without it being "elephants, yeah."

Between my husband and my cats I have to keep choking back calling people "honey." (Unless it's in a joking or patronizing way of course.) I've said "Thanks, honey" to delivery guys. :doh:

Wasn't the accidental "I love you" the topic of a Seinfeld? I think you're far from alone on that one, Dave. Take comfort that you share your misery with others.

 

[Gusto]

I know that the phrase "I love U2" was featured on an episode of Scrubs, back when it was still decent.

 

[doomdragon6]

I used to think the song "Smack My Bitch Up" was saying "Snap My Pic-cha!" like 'look how badass I am, take my picture'.

And the only way I found out the real title of the song?

I typed "Snap my picture lyrics" into Google and found a misheard lyrics website. *laff*

Oh, I thought of a really good one... my Dad's never lived this down.

Until about 1998, he misunderstood the lyrics to the Grease song "You're the one that I want." He thought they were just saying "Walla walla walla!"

 

[Tinwhistler]

My grandfather thought Metallica's "hit the lights" was saying "kill them all"

Not that he was that far from the truth in sentiment, at least.

Ah, the good ol' Mondegreen. I've been bitten by it many times. My brain automatically free-associates anything I hear, so I probably hear a half-dozen different phrases whenever anyone says anything. Makes for good private (internal) entertainment. Also means I can pun really well.

I heard this from a friends mouth a few years aback:

Dirty deeds! Thunder Chief! Dirty deeds! Thunder Chief!

Dirty deeds and the Thuder Chief...dirty deeds and the Thunder chief...woooo...dirty deeds and the Thunder Chief!

 

[Dusty668]

Just got reminded of this one-"Wooooo, I'm a lizard bayby, so why don't you grill me"

(previously posted but must've been lost due to forum move)

This puts me in mind of the two dirtiest songs written by Elton John:
'Don't let your son go down on me,' and 'Someone shaved my wife tonight.'

*ahem* "There's a bathroom on the right." Never could understand CCR's wild fascination with the location of their bathroom. Took me forever to figure it out.
