Fun misreads

[Paul_B]

There's a thread in here that every time I see it I read it as "Where are you growing?" Well about my middle since I've been eating more over lockdown, but that's a bit personal!!!

I can't be the only one here to misread things online. Does anyone want a bit of light-hearted fun and post their examples?

My most recent has to be your very own post .MUSHROM AND NEWT id.
Missing the I'D bit, I first thought it might be a survival recipe I'd not encountered before!

There's someone who post's about different knots called Asemery.
But whenever I quickly glance over the name I always read is as 'A r s e Merry'.

"Mad driver rob"

Not a misread but I'm not sure I want a killer raspberry jam recipe. Are there killers on this forum who use raspberry jam? A new kind of professional assassin who prepares in the kitchen!

Took me ages to realise that they weren't referring to the town in the movie title "Burn after Reading".

In my defense, I first saw the posters while on the train to London.

Potassium Pomegranates! What are they?

My eyes are misleading me again. Salted pomegranates aren't the topic of that thread, right? Anyone tried salted pomegranates? Doesn't appear.

What about mis-listens?

There was a Paul Young song back in the 80s and I could have sworn the lyrics went, 'Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you.'

On the odd occasion I am forced to listen to one of those bloody woeful 80s MOR radio stations and the song comes on I feel compelled to sing my (incorrect) lyrics to it.

Early on in our relationship, Madame told me that as a child she kept hearing a song in which a long train ran over us but God saved the King.

Fifty nine years later I hear this every time the national anthem is played.

Me and my 8 year old son regularly miss sing songs. Alexa plays a song and we join in the chorus with our own words. The more daft or whimsical the better. He's been doing it since about 5 or even earlier. It's actually fun.

My son swore until he was in his late teens that the Dire Straits lyrics were 'money for nothing and your chips for free'.

BeeGee.. bold headed woman.

Isn't it?
