to have only recently realised..

What the phrase "birthday suit" means... Ffs!

Oh if only that happened Henrietta.....how time saving would that be!! :)

Yeah sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant it thought the tunnel went through the water not under it

yesofficer i always assumed its pee on a test

Worried Ah ah! Not something I've been worried about for a while so had made no connection.

Thought 'Anon' was a prolific (possibly French) writer for many years

One of my friends thought the start of Brown Eyed Girl was 'Hey there amigo' - but funnily enough i often tell this tale and the other person responds 'but that's what it is, isn't it?'

Oohhh, please someone explain to me what (sic) means when it appears in articles and what does N.B stand for?

Ipoat - idiots posting on a thread

I alway thought TIA was a person signing off at the end of her threads

yesofficer I could be very much mistaken though as most people put POAS (pee on a stick)

Sic is spelling is correct

See I was wrong, but at least now we both know, I'm clearly IPOAT

worried you may have got it wrong!

That's pretty funny, i don't feel quite so now.

Pmsl @ this thread. Living flamin' yon!

In the interest of fairness I did once ask who Bill Payer was. I was about 19 at the time.

Loving not living.

I thought it was Insane People On A Thread?

I thought that about TIA too! I kept thinking she name changes a lot and she seems to have been pregnant for ages! It means That Is All doesn't it?

N.B = nota bene (latin for "note well")

I always thought TIA mean 'thanks in advance'?!?

i also asked what Bill Posters had done to be prosecuted everywhere he went...

TIA - thanks in advance

at this thread!

I was far too old when I realised that Transformers were robots in disguise, not de skies because they can fly (Fantasy Island, de plane de plane!)

I also though Girders were the company that made Irn Bru.

DH has an IQ of 150+. He also thought chickens and hens were different species and didn't know that a gammon was an uncooked ham. He thought they were different meats.

I always used to confuse shop fitters with shoplifters and couldn't understand why they'd advertise the fact they were stealing!!!

N.B. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase 'Nota Bene' and means 'Note Well' literally. Usually means 'Oi, this is important, to remember it'

Thanks in advance

That's actually not right about sic 5inthebed, it's Latin and short for sic erat scriptum, 'thus it has been written', to indicate that the spelling of the thing that follows is that way in whatever the author is quoting and thus any spelling mistakes aren't the result of his inability to spell
