We've all done it, whether it's mixing up a name or hearing something as a child that we totally misunderstood and taking it as fact.
The worst always being when you'd say it in front of someone else...
Dermot and Dave heard some of the best mix-ups like these gems:
From age 6 to about 11/12, for the Our Father prayer instead of saying "lead us not into temptation" I used to say "lead Misses Knot into temptation" cos we had a neighbour called Mrs Knot and I thought it was about her. I was also an alter boy and said it for years serving mass. From Albert in Galway.
Lads, I brought my 5 year old to the office. I was talking to my MD and a few colleagues. My daughter was intrigued by the water cooler. I said “right Isla it’s time to leave.” She said “no Dad I want to stay for more sex!”. Everyone looked at me horrified....then it dawned on me, “I use the express can you wait a sec or I won’t be a sec” so she wanted more secs lol JB Clonmel
When I was little I thought "kick the bucket" meant that a rich person would share out their money When my mother's brother arrived back from America to Ireland to live, I said to her, I wish Uncle Tom would just kick the bucket! She was disgusted
When we were young My sister and I were technically ‘Protestant’ growing up, but when my sister announced this to any of our friends (all Catholic) she’d say oh, we’re ‘prostitutes’.
