Basically what it says, this is a thread where we reveal words and pharases that we previously thought meant something else, and even used them completely in the wrong context until we were either corrected, or realized ourselves. Here are some of mine;
"Outspoken"
What I thought it meant: Someone who is always talked over, never noticed.
What it actually means: Someone who speaks very directly, or something.
"An Open Relationship"
What I thought it meant: Two people who are in love, and display it in the open, romantically, such as kissing in public places.
What it actually means: Two people who are in a romantic relationship, who allow each other to have other partners.
"Inflammable"
What I thought it meant: The opposite of "Flammable".
What it actually means: The exact same thing as "Flammable". :eek:
What about you?
