One night after DH and I got into bed and I just started drifting off to
sleep..... DH comes out of nowhere with, "What's a 'keh-nig-it'???" I
laughed so hard at that one. He'd watched that movie countless times
for years at that point and still didn't "get" what they were saying.
Too funny.

Hi
I've been lurking, but I just have to come out of the closet and
confess my ignorance -- keh-nig-it? I thought it was just a Python
nonsense word. Can someone please enlighten me?
Love

That reminds me of the time I told my friend mom that I wanted to be a hooker for halloween. She very calmly asked me what that was. I told her it was a woman that dressed up really pretty and walked up the streets in downtown so people would feel happy and honk there horns at her to say I was doing a good job she was doing. I think I was 7 and have no memory as to where I came up with this 'idea' TV is my guess. Can you imagine the laugh she probably had? After she was done being horrified. hehe

Sort of reminds me of the time in 5th grade when I worked up the nerve
to ask my friend what Olivia Newton-John meant by "Let's get physical".
LOL She laughed at my ignorance, but it turned out that she didn't
know either. hee hee

LOL I have never seen this Holy Grail flick so I guess I need to go rent it.
Both of these stories reminded me when I was in 4th grade and my mom had to
pick me up at some odd time. I raised my hand to get permission to leave and
the teacher called on me and I happily said, "Mrs. Stewart, I have to go now, my
mom has an appontiment for a Blow Job." The teacher looked like she was
becoming a turnip she was so red. She demanded that I pick up my things and marched
me to the office. My mom came in to pick me up and was greeted with some ugly
snares. The school secratary asked why I was leaving early and my mom said
she had an appointment for her car. The secretary looked at her in such an odd
way. When we got in the car I asked my mom,"Why is everyone so weird about you
getting a blow job on your car?" She said, "What?" I said, "Mommy, you said
you needed a blow job this morning." She started laughing hysterically and tears
ran down her cheeks. After a while she quit laughing long enough to tell me
she need a lube job on the car, not a blow job. Which of course came my next
question, "Then what the heck is a blow job?" It was an interesting afternoon.

In sixth grade, I thought a blow job was a haircut. A nice haircut
blown dry with blowdryer. Don't know where I heard the term, but
using it in my context was an amusing lesson!

LOL!!! That's a classic. It's so nice to hear your mom got a kick out of it
too and not get mad at you. My mom would have had to ask me what it was. My
poor mother was so naive. She even now still spoils a good joke sometimes by
just not getting it. It's just not funny if you have to explain it!! She
actually had to have one of the nuns from the school I went to explain what
knockers were.

Thanks for the story!!

Okay, how about this one? Not as a little child, mind you, but a
grown woman, I said this.

We buy our frozen stuff from Schwan's, a door to door delivery
service. I was telling the Schwan's man what we'd need "I'm going to
need two broccoli, a California blend...Oh, and I'd better take a
pea." And my daughter started laughing before I realized what i had
said! LOL

This one was a long time ago, but it still burns in my memory..LOL..I was in
highschool in a speech/writing class. We had to do a speech about something,
and I had chosen subliminal advertising. I got the the part about colors
conveying different emotions/feelings, etc, and said, "For instance, red would
symbolize sex, or the desire for sex..." I then realized i was dressed from
head to toe in red...including my face....

Joseph and Sierra use to love to watch Wheel of Fortune. Every once in
awhile someone would say, "Pat, I'll take a P!!" My kids would roll on the
floor in laughter!!!! You are not alone.

At one time (post-King Arthur, if there was one <g>) it was pronounced (so
say the Middle English scholars) "k NICht e" (the first and last sounds not
quite full syllables and the middle one having a kind of German top-of-mouth
hoik). And "sword" had its 'w' pronouced (as in the unrelated "swarthy") and
"castle" had a vague syllable at the end so it sounded a little more like
"castille" but not much.
