It was a long time before I really knew what moth balls were.
Which made it difficult for me to understand how moths could fly so effortlessly.

I used to think saying "say that 10 times fast" meant saying it 10 times faster than they just said it, instead of saying the word 10 times quickly. I was younger when i realized, but just thought of it again today for some reason

My wife thought it was "Chester drawers" and not "chest of drawers" until we got married.

I thought it was Chuckie Cheese and not Chuck E. Cheese.

I feel like this sort of only kind of counts, since clearly the 'pun' (if there is one there...?) is supposed to be that it's like a homophone of 'Chucky' or 'Chuckie'. So it's not really a misunderstanding of the name, per se.

When I was little I used to thing that the Roman's just made a real good kind of Coke that only adults could drink.

Oh, I'm sorry...you're mistaken. The E actually stands for something, apparently. His name is Chuck Entertainment Cheese.

(I was originally going to reply with something else, but I Googled it and that's his actual middle name.)

Charles Entertainment Cheese. Chuck's his nickname.


I miss Showbiz pizza. When I was a kid, my dad used to tell'em it was mine or my brothers birthday for a free pizza. My dad was a lot of things but honest wasn't necessarily one of 'em, god rest his soul.

Re: Things that took you way too long to realize....

They story behind Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz pizza is mildly amusing; basically, one of the original Chuck E Cheese guys had a disagreement w/ the company and went off to start his own animatronic mascot-based pizza & entertainment chain, which is a pretty specific niche market if there ever was one...

Dell & Steph Curry are actually Wardell Stephen Curry (I and II). And another thing about Steph, I knew he was in Toronto when Dell was here, but never knew where exactly he went to school until now. Was literally across the street from the one Ikea in the city.


Small world when you think about it. I also had the same principal as Drake (didn't go to the same school as him, or even one in his area, but a principal during his time who knew him, transferred to my school for a few years)

I listened to the full Fresh Prince theme. Before today, I just thought the extended intro that never gets shown on tv was the whole song. After listening to it, it makes one part make so much more sense.

Will took a cab(the license plate said fresh, and it had dice in the mirror) to the Banks because he thought the chauffeur holding a sign with his name at the airport was a cop getting him in trouble. Lol, I never thought about it in all the years I watched the show. Why did he have to take a cab to his aunt/uncles mansion. That's why.
