something obvious you only just figured out

[HumanChild]

today i found out melee is pronounced 'MAY-LAY' as opposed to how i have been pronouncing it my entire life, 'ME-LEE'.

has anything became totally apparent to you AFTER someone told you?

I didn't know how to properly pronounce anime until seventh grade.

Your avatar is rather offensive, by the way,

 

[Mr. Grey]

Apparently I've been pronouncing inventory wrong. Also epitome and omnipotent. Luckily I rarely used the words before.

 

[Julianking93]

I didn't notice how ridiculously offensive your avatar is until MorsePacific mentioned it.

You know that proverb Revenge is a dish that is best served cold mentioned in Wrath of Khan? It took me, like, 15 years to realize what that meant.

I thought at the time that 'cold' just meant 'ruthless'. Then the idea that it means to wait and plan and let the meal cool off didn't hit me until I was watching the same movie on cable a decade and a half later.

Same here. Me and my friend had an argument about how to pronounce it, and yes, the OP's avatar choice is rather poor.

I just learned how ridiculously hard it is to eat an Abba Zaba bar. Sure was good though.

The last time I remember something like that was when I was a child and I say my first Kay Jewelers commercial with the slogan "Every kiss begins with Kay".

I didn't put much more though into ti until a week later when I saw the same commercial and had an incredible I see what you did there moment.

And reported on avatar.

I figured out today that NSFW means "Need Some Forewarning".

F

I figured out today that NSFW means "Need Some Forewarning".

I thought it was, Not safe for work.

That's what it is. Which does lend a rather funny irony to Earthmonger's situation...

I thought the word "lard" meant poo. I only just found out it means fat.

 

[Prideful Heretic]

I learned that I can put dorritos on ham sammiches :|

 

[Hiphophippo]

I learned recently that Slash was black.

How did that escape me?

 

[Manhattan2112]

You obviously don't know how to use a search bar.

Actually, melee is pronounced however the fuck I want to pronounce it.
