Ever mis-heard something and looked like a spa?

LadyE

Today in the barbers, the girl was cutting my 3 year olds hair, towards the end she showed me a bit of his hair and said "Ah look, he has a cows dick"

Of course I said "What??? Is that whats its called..a cows dick?":eek:

She gave me a look and said "No, a cows LICK"

I felt like such a knob.

Has anyone else amusing/entertaining stories

a friend of mine thought that the words in bohemian rhapsody were "shagamoose shagamoose"

and i thought the words in some some were "pis$ing the night away" as opposed to "kissing"

Some random dude in a club asked me to mind his drink while he went to the toilet, I totally mistook it for him asking me to go to the toilet with him:p
you had to be there really...

i know someone who was in a car with his girlfriend on their second date, and she was stroking his upper thighs, then he yawned and she said "oh you're wrecked". what he thought she'd said was "you're erect" (which he wasnt, apparantly)

Had someone ask me to take them to Donaghmede one night, apparantly they actualy said Donabate, would have been easier to cope with if they had said something about it before I had driven to Clongriffen ( Hole In The Wall Road ) from Malahide :rolleyes: ...........

In a nice restaurant recently, I ordered the main course and the waitress asked me "Would you like soup or salad." Me mis-hears and asks, "Whats a super salad?"

I was in Amsterdam with my friend and her bf a few years ago eating pasta in an Italian restaurant. He interrupted the waiter and said in his most polite voice "excuse me, could I have some parma-ham cheese please" we all pissed ourselves laughing. He thought that's how parmesan cheese was pronounced, that's how he'd always heard it!

Huh? It is "pissing the night away" - assuming you're talking about Chumbawamba.

I dont know what you mean

Poor choice of words I admit - didnt think of the meaning when I typed it. My apologies, hope I didnt offend.

Could it not also be construed as a derivitive meaning Thick as in "thick as a plank" where a spa' would be something like a wooden roof spar e.g
" Mind yer 'ed on that spa' "

Many years ago we were at a wedding and were asked if we wanted carrot and orange soup....

My brother in law replies...

Oh yes ... I would love some orange juice

For ages I thought the Rihanna song went "You can stand under my arm forever". Couldn't figure out why someone would want to stand under there forever??

Just after deregulation got in a taxi in Fairview and asked for O'Dwyer's on Mount St. guy didn't have a clue, had to show him. It's not an obscure street.

Also spent about half an hour in a taxi driving around looking for a restaurant in Pembroke lane. Guy didn't have a clue where it was. Why can't some taxi drivers invest 10 quid in a street guide to Dublin? Shouldn't be allowed operate without one.

Anyway, back on topic, I've had numerous rows whith my gf after I've said something, she mishears it and thinks I'm insulting/having a go at her, and goes into a strop.

Same gf thought "Creep" went "I'm a creep/I'm a winner".

Oh, and a friend of mine use to think the line in "The Green Fields of France" went:
"Or young Willie McBride, were you slow and obscene"

The Novacastrian

I always thought commentators said 'staggering obation', until one day I said it in front of my ma and bro and they p*ssed themselves laughing at me, I felt like a right spa*

I always use this word, and other such non-PC words...I hate the PC brgiade!

Less of that, please.

Happens all the time. What's even worse, though, is when you see somebody walking towards you in the street or office or whatever, and you know that as you pass, you're going to exchange pleasantries in a sort of I'm-too-busy-and-i-don't-like-you-enough-to-stop-and-chat sort of a way. But when they say something you answer a question they didn't ask, or else you say something totally unrelated.

e.g.

My ex-boss: Long time no see!
Me (at the exact same time): Not too baaad!......*cringe*

or

One of my old teachers: Ah...Shifty...how're your brothers doing.
Me: Ah, you know yourself, i'm working away.....
Him: ????

The most embarrasing moment of my life was when I was in fourth year in secondary school and I was sitting at the back of the assembely hall.There was an assembely on racism and the speaker got up and said 'I want everyone thats black to stand up'. I completly miss heared and thought she said 'everyone at the back stand up' so I stood up and everyone just turned around and looked at me like I was some sort of racist bigot. It was v.embarasing

Why would you explain them? Do you mean exchange?


Hm. I mishear things all the time, but mostly I just say "Sorry?" or "what did you say?" so that avoids this kind of problem...

Mother in law. - "The plane display at the seafront"

I heard - "The Pay and Display at the seafront"

Went on for ages, me talking about the price, her saying it's free.

My brother thought that Ban Garda was a term used to describe Garda who were members of the Garda band and not Garda of the female variety...:D

My favourite one is if someone says something to you and you dont quite hear what they said and then just nod in agreement and say "yep".

Then they look back at you as if you have done something wrong. Happened too many times to mention!

happens to me everyday of every week since i can remember.
and i still feel like an ass over it....
tried so many times to listen to what people say but i open my mouth before i can think of a response and its always something like..

hey, good morning mike..
to which my response is usually, not too bad, or ah shur its nearly home time... ( i work nights ) so people tend to think that ive gone crazy being on my own all night.

My old band used to cover 'Revolution' by The Beatles.. and me being the lazy ass vocalist that I was, never bothered learning what was actually sung in the line - "If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao'.. so I sang what I thought it was, .. "If you go carrying pictures of German Man'.

Met a friend's girlfriend a few years ago for the first time in a noisy pub.
I'd been talking at one stage about my time in Australia, then the music volume increased. At that stage I barely make out anything she was saying, and there's only so many time you can say 'pardon?', so I guessed as best I could.

Got a call from him the next day:
"She thinks you're a bit weird. She was asking you questions about where you live and where you work, and you just kept talking about Melbourne casino."

She forgave me later though.
