This is a question Misheard and Misunderstood

Rachelswipe says: My niece - after months of begging - was finally allowed to get a hamster, and her grandfather was utterly horrified to learn that it had been called "Nipples", a pretty good name for a pet if you ask us. Alas, it was only the more mundane "Nibbles" - what have you misheard or misunderstood, with truly hilarious consequences?

I worked with some guy who went to the barbers up the road from the office and asked for an 'OAP' cut.
He genuinely had no idea

Noisy karaoke bar
The Filipina likes karaoke, but she mangles everything she says and the bar noise doesn't help. She keeps asking for Dolly Parton's 'Sudden Shits', but I've come to learn what she really wants is 'Satin Sheets'.

For my birthday, my mate walked in with an emu and an obnoxious midget who refused to pay for his drinks, and said that these were my presents
Beforehand when he asked me what I wanted I'd said "A great big bird with a tight little cunt"

Caffé Nero (apparently that's how you spell it, just for the pretentious prick that commented)
I fucking hate the place. My girlfriend unfortunately enjoys their re mortgaging inducing sandwiches.

When ordering a coffee and trying to read through the complete and utter fucktardery of the chalk board behind the guy serving something spotted my eye...I wonder..."what is a MILLDER coffee?"

"I don't know what you mean sir...we don't do something called MILLDER coffee"

Me "well it says on your board there that if I would like a MILLDER coffee I should ask you"

Him "oh you mean milder coffee"

I don't go in there anymore because I am a complete fucking retard. To be fair I just had a total braintwang.

"I've found the G-Spot!"
my girlfriend yelled excitedly from the upper floor. I raced up the stairs three at a time, expecting the find a deeply erotic scene of frenzied, abandoned lady-wanking before me.

But instead she was fully clothed in the spare room triumphantly holding a little saucepan. Then it dawned on me. We were having friends round for a fondue party and she had found the "cheese-pot".

Tch.


none of this is true, I hate fondue

A friend was entertaining friends at his parents house for the weekend and on Saturday
night his mother was of course preparing an evening meal, standard five courses. Everything went well. Just after the pudding one of the guests when asked if he enjoyed the meal delivered the verdict that the meal was,

"Superfluous!"

While on the subject of paedos
when the Paulsgrove Riots were happening, the newspaper ran a picture of Angry Mother brandishing a placard saying "KILL ALL THE PAEDOPHILES IN IT".

It took me a while to work out what this meant. Turns out in Paulsgrove that they can spell "paedophiles" but not "innit".

There's a health centre in Edinburgh which contains two GP practices: the Green Practice, and the Blue Practice.
A pharmacist of my acquaintance had an immigrant from Glasgow in looking for his prescription, which should have been sent to the pharmacy from the health centre.

"Are you with the Green side or the Blue side?" my friend asked, in total innocence.

The weegie was apoplectic. "You don't fucking ask that question," he said. "You don't ask that question."

I was reliably assured that 'Great British Bake Off' was dramatic, compelling telly.
Turns out, it's a load of middle class people cooking, looking at, talking and crying about cakes.

Oh, and some puns even shitter than the ones on here.
It's like being at home, only on telly.

Hotmale.com
When I first started working in an educational establishment we would quite often have "silver surfer" groups in to try to get their heads around what the whole internet thing was and what you could do. I was sometimes roped in by the tutor to help out in advising the class.

This day they were signing up for an e mail account so the gibbering wrecks could send an e mail to their friend say next to them. We were instructing them to visit the www.hotmail.com website...well the dear old 70+ year old that I was attempting to explain how a mouse worked initially made a bit of a fuck up of this.

In the address bar she had typed www.hotmale.com...I noticed the mistake and tried in vain to stop her from pressing enter, things were kind of moving in slow motion. Before I knew it, from what I could remember an image of a man covered in oil with his love muscle on full show was displayed on the screen. Along I am sure with various other hardcore male on male sex acts going on. To be fair she handled it (ooh err) rather well.

As a side note this is also the same week I think that when some of the older generation were using Apple Macs trying to explain that to eject the disk that was in the machine she had to drag and drop it using the mouse onto the icon of the bin on the screen...she almost pulled the whole machine off the desk as she tried to drag her mouse to the real waste paper bin positioned next to her on the floor.

The high intellectuals of Newport,
who during the anti-paedophile summer entertainments a decade or so ago, graffiti'd the house of a local paediatrician.

A former colleague of mine supported Arsenal FC
Having seen that her team weren't doing as well as usual, I nodded at the league table and asked her "what does it feel like being eighth?".

She thought I'd asked "what does it feel like doing A?", and told me all about her penchant for sodomy.

Watching telly, saw someone being interviewed for open university. Caption said they were a Doctor in Law.
I misunderstood and thought it meant their partner a was a doctor and so they were a doctor-in-law.

At one point I shared a house with two Canadian girls.
One morning they were both looking worse for wear and informed us that 'It would be a long time before they were double fisting again'.

It was about a week of powerful lesbian imagery before we learnt that 'double fisting' is in fact Canadian for 'drinking two bottles of beer at the same time, one in each hand'.

There was that time
when I went to the pub and ordered some pork scratchings to go with my pint, and the barman said he'd bring them over to me once I'd sat down. Five minutes later a bloke with a briefcase showed up at my table saying he'd heard I was interested in buying some nuclear weapons. I said "Nah, you're alright, mate; I was just after some pork scratchings." He said "Oh, OK. I'll...er...I'll just leave this here then, in case you change your mind." So he put the briefcase on the table and left.

When I opened it, it turned out to be full of pork scratchings. Obviously the gentleman had been the victim of a similar misunderstanding before. Anyway, I had the last laugh, as they were nuclear pork scratchings.

Party time
I was horribly shy as a young teenager, particularly around girls. I must have been about 14 or 15 when I was in the hairdresser's, having my hair cut by a pretty girl, and therefore speechless with shyness. At one point though she asked me if I was having a party. I was a bit surprised that she'd try this as a conversational opener, but I plucked up my courage and replied, explaining that yes, I was having a Halloween party next week, and (blush, sweat) she could come if she liked. "No", she said, "are you having a parting?" I could never go back to that barber's again.

What was that address again?
A group of people from many different countries were discussing the different habits in various places, mainly those concerning pubs and drinking. A girl from Canada turned to me and said, "And of course in Britain they serve beer with head, don't they?"

Mine's a pint, then.

Yours will probably be quite a bit less...

I told my daughter we were going to visit Granny and Grandpa in Devon

Later, her sister said she was such a chatterbox. To which she replied, indignantly, "I'm not a letterbox!".

I used to give a lift to a dizzy bint that lived close to me and worked close to where i worked.
When crossing a bridge with a large windsock flapping quite a lot, she asked me what it was for. I told her it was a way for ships and their crew to tell the time. She probably still to this day believes that.
