I didn't JUST figure this out, but I was well into adulthood when I realized that the song "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" wasn't about someone's mom having an affair with Santa Claus.

Mister Macys posted:smdh stands for "shaking my drat head", and not, as I'd previously thought, " suck my dick, haters ". Similarly, I thought "ftfy" was "gently caress this, gently caress you."

InediblePenguin posted:What do you drink with dinner at home if not milk? Nothing? We drank water/tea/orange juice throughout the day if we were thirsty, but we usually ate dinner by itself.

InediblePenguin posted:I think having no beverage at all with a meal sounds an awful lot weirder (in the "less standard across the population" sense, not as a value judgement) than drinking milk; but that's from a Land-O-Lakes White American perspective. I didn't know about milk at dinner until I had dinner at a white friend's house. We had London broil, potatoes, mixed veggies, and salad...and milk. I thought it was utterly bizarre.

Xun posted:I've recently figured out how the "have your cake and eat it too" phrase even works. It's not having a cake and then eating it, which is perfectly reasonable, it's trying to eat a cake but still have one at the same time I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who was confused about this phrase.

A stitch in time saves nine. Meaning taking the time to fix a problem now prevents the problem from spiraling out of control so that you have to fix the even bigger problem later. NOT meaning anything about the fabric of time being ripped & needing to be stitched together to prevent the annihilation of the universe.

DrBouvenstein posted:Not to assume you're in the US, but I'm guessing you might be because by and large US sex and reproductive health education is terrible. 1) I went to eight different public schools, and I received sex ed at none of them. Thankfully my mom taught me what I needed to know, in a normal, non-creepy, non-abstinence-focused, "only do it when you're ready, and use protection" kind of way. 2) If you grew up in a household with at least one uterus-haver, how on earth did they hide their days-long periods from you?

Huh, well I guess that does make sense. edit: for the record, my mom had me when she was 20, so I guess I just assume everyone's mom had them young YeahTubaMike has a new favorite as of 16:27 on Sep 10, 2020 |

Shibawanko posted:back in japan i had my dog spayed by the vet, after the surgery my wife asked if she could see the ovaries because she was curious, at which point the vet warned me specifically that because im a man, i might be terrified and disgusted by the sight and i was like lol no why would i be The vet was warning you about being terrified/disgusted SPECIFICALLY about the sight of ovaries and not simply about bloody disembodied pet organs?  Hyperlynx posted:Speaking of bad menstruation education for men: when NASA was sending up their first female astronaut, Sally Ride, they asked her whether 100 tampons would be enough. For her seven day mission. When she told them that was overkill, they ignored her and packed that many just in case. In my experience, it's far FAR better to have too many than too few. I just know that if it had been me and someone asked me if 100 tampons were enough, I'd be like "lol of course", and then I would end up trapped in space needing 101 tampons. Did she even have her period during that mission though?

Henchman of Santa posted:He'd be 102 if he wasn't I somehow thought he was like 75. I wondered if I was mistaking him for someone else, but when I looked him up on Wikipedia (which is how I learned that he was dead), he was indeed the "down goes Frazier" guy.

Well, delicately kiss my pomegranates! I didn't realize Leslie Jordan actually sounded like that, I assumed Beauregard la Fontaine on American Dad was just a voice that he made up.

Z-chat reminds me that I didn't know zephyrs were a thing until I was well into adulthood because when I was a kid, my mom was friends with a hippie chick whose son was named Zephyr.
