Words you THOUGHT were something else...
Are there any big words (or small) that you thought meant something, only to find out they mean something COMPLETELY different?

Like when I used the word "oxymoron" in an email to GG and she thought it was a cleaning product!!

Because it sounds similar to "Oxyclean".

When I first heard that word I felt that it was a facial cleanser.


Same too the name, "Brillo-Pad". I first thought that it was some kind of facial scrub for men.

Hmmmm. Come to think of it...Maybe it is.
