I'm not stupid but....

Stainless steel!!! ? Love it Teehee.

I heard this on Moyles show during the week - Very funny.

There must be loads of things for me, but I cant think of any. Will keep thinking and come back to you.

I pronounced "badminton" as "badmington", until last March ?

I've probably got lots more examples; I'll have a think...

Until probably when i was about 18 and at uni i used to think cutlery was 'Cutter'lery', as in cutting with a knife...i still pronounce it Cut-er-ler-ry, much to the annoyance of Mr Flow!!!

I say somethink and nothink, i know its wrong but just can't stop doing it, hubby says its just one of my many quirks ?

Little T (10 this year) pronounces it clutterlery

.........I do a bl**dy good impression?!?

Sorry, I'll get my coat?

I'll be back to this as I more than likely have hundreds....H spends most of his time that laughing at me and saying the above in response to my pleas of "I'm not stupid"??

In used to say escape goat instead of scapegoat not even sure if that is right ?

I thought until relatively recently it was bavminton!

*hands out dunce caps*

My sister gets Nigel Mansell and Nelson Mandela mixed up...

? that tickled me!

I always thought ointment was oinkment. Thanks to my grandfather. Worse still as I'm a nurse and ask a gp to prescript some oinkment for a patient before anyone corrected me!

Oh there are so many....

About 10 years ago I worked in a call centre. They were celebrating the Euro cup so said we can wear Euro team t-shirts. I said "oh great, I can wear my Brazil top" They were in stitches! I had to Google it to realise where it was.

We were at lunch one day and talking about Princess Diana, someone said her death overshadowed Mother Teressa. I then said "oh snap is she dead. Is Gandy dead too? Is he a person or is it a title"

?

I'm not stupid, but I do say some dumb things! Me and my friends say well we cant be pretty and smart Lol

When I was little, we stayed in a Hilton hotel for a long weekend. It had a breakfast buffet, and I'd never had one of those before. Sat back down with my family, and my mum questioned what I had on my plate. Turns out what I thought was a beefburger was actually black pudding! Oops!

Other mini-T funnies:

hitapotamous - hippo

effalent - elephant

it hates me - rather than i hate it

doganol - diagonal

I have said this one before....

Before I started working as a travel agent about 3 years ago.. I thought Argentina was in Spain.

Ohhh the shame! ?

Until I was about 23 I thought reindeer were fairytale animals and not real, like unicorns and dragons, oops! In my defence - I'd never seen one! Lol

?

I say silly things a lot, mainly from not thinking before I speak. Example:

When we went to see Up in 3D last year it was first ever experience of seeing something in 3D and I loved it. When we left the cinema and were chatting about the film I said to OH 'Awww I wish life was in 3D'. He obviously looked at me like I was mad and it took me about 20 seconds to realise what a stupid thing I had just said. ?

Hehehe these have been brilliant to read... i'm sure ive had loads more of these moments but ive probably forgotten them deliberatly!!

I did remember that I thought anchiovies on my pizza were the dark round things on my pizza (olives).

This has brightened up my otherwise loud and annoying football evening I always pronounce 'Penguin' (both the biscuit and the animal) as pen-gwen. Apparently this is weird and wrong. Luckily I don't have much call to say it often.

I listened to this and I didn't know TGI Friday = Thank god it's Friday! I think I can be let off by saying I didn't know such a place existed until I moved away from home and into the big city at 18.

I also don't use the world "taught" - I use learnt. Eg: Instead of Chris Moyles taught me what TGI Friday means" I'd say: "Today I learnt what TGI Fridays means". Which I am told, is bad english!

There was also a lot of confussion when I introduced my best friend to my parents who kept asking what country she comes from and kept replying Africa!!

It was hubby that told me Africa is a contienet not a country. I thought it was for 25 years.

I always hated geography lol

I did GSCE Geography and got a B -a very good effort considering! haha

These are great. Until I went on a overnight summer playscheme when I was about 12 I thought Branflakes were called Brown flakes.

Until I was 25 I though Wolves wernt real.

Untill I went to uni I called fabric softner "soft rinse" and WoodLice "woodpigs"- i will blame my mad old mum for that.

Oh and even though I know it wasnt I still kinda think that life in the olden days was in black and white. As in there were no colours anywhere just shades of gray. I imagine the world became in colour in approx 1953.

I also thought reindeer weren't real until some point in my adulthood. I couldn't grasp the whole Santa = fake ; Reindeer = real concept. It baffled me. I'm over it now.

My son was the same, I had to take him to the zoo for him to believe us - he wouldn't believe us with pics from the internet "you faked it mum" complete with eye roll....my teenager in training ?

haha I always kinda think that too!

I though athletics had an L in it i.e. a-L-thletics. I still pronounce it like that!

I also thought that Torquay was abroad. Only found out when there was a potential trip there with friends and I got much more excited than everyone else.

Silly girl watching footie, for 28 years i thought that a OG was called "Home goal" because you scored it in your home goal??? Didn't think that OG stood for Own Goal....?

Also there a player who i thought was called Penguin Jones.....i said to OH "imagine being called Penguin," turns out the bloke is called Kenwin Jones, still think being called Penguin would be ace though!!!!

Me too! I thought it was home goal! I never knew the initals were OG though.
