What commonly known thing did you learn at an embarrassingly older age?

WC = Water closet. Not washroom commode.

My husband is from New England and his parents had thick accents. He was about 30 when he wrote me a note telling me my keys were in the kitchen draw. Because his parents didn’t pronounce the “er,” that’s how he thought it was spelled.

"THREE HOLES?!"

NP here. I was pretty sheltered growing up. My understanding of where the hymen was situated was gleaned from romance novels, and I came to understand that it was deep inside the birth canal, because the hero was always surprised about the heroine's virginity - "Why did you not tell me before, I would have been gentle with you!".

Anyways, as a virgin on my wedding night, I was not prepared for the pain that came without the deep penetration and I thought that my DH maybe went into the wrong hole. I had heard there were 3 holes!!

Here is the worst part...I just figured it out a few years ago, as a middle aged woman with two kids and a healthy sex life. I don't think that my DH knows or remembers since he was a virgin too. BTW - we both searched for the blood stains and since there was not even a smear we thought that the pain was not from the hymen breaking. I was convinced I was not physically a virgin because I use to play sports.

Now I’m worried in the one it getting something a are you saying sex is painful without deep lentration? Not a snarky question maybe you can help me!

How to pump gas using the little thing to hold it in place.

My friend showed this to me when we were traveling.

I would just hold it the whole time.

To be fair, sometimes these are broken. And they’re not allowed in NY and MA.

Probably a repeat, because apparently it's not totally uncommon, but it's stupid o'clock AM and I'm daunted by 67 pages of comments...

A clove of garlic and a bulb of garlic are NOT the same thing. WHO KNEW?

Omg, this is great. Thx for sharing. In what recipes did you use a bulb instead of a clove or even multiple bulbs?!

Answer is Post Office truck as Federal Vehicles Have right of way over state and local vehicles

What if a police car, an ambulance, and a firetruck walk into a bar... 🤪

She has never, nor would she ever, utter something as crass as the F word. That’s what makes this hysterical. At some point in her life, she heard the phrase “shot his wad,” and had no idea what that referred to. She interpreted it as “he gave his all,” so she would occasionally describe someone who had put in grueling hours at work and she would say, “He has really just shot his wad.” The first time I heard her say this, I was too shocked and horrified to respond. The second time, a year or so later, I could barely keep myself from laughing out loud, and decided it was my dad’s duty to speak up, so I didn’t say anything. The third time, a couple years later, Mom even referred to a woman “shooting her wad.” At that point, it occurred to me that Dad wasn’t correcting her (surely he knows what it means, right?!), and that she was probably uttering this phrase to people outside of our family, since she was so clearly unfamiliar with its meaning. I steeled my nerves, sat her down and explained it to her. It was so awkward for me that I don’t even remember how she reacted.

The. Best. Ever. 😂

That biweekly means both twice a week and every two weeks.
My child’s teacher sent a note that he was doing a “biweekly newsletter on Tuesdays and Fridays”. Good thing I googled instead of just emailing him lol.

I've always struggled with left/right, I developed various crutches over the years to help me remember, I have a freckle on my left hand, and a permanent nail imperfection on my right etc.,

Apparently it is genetic because kiddo has the same problem too, but he lacks the any freckles, imperfections etc., so in trying to explain I looked at my left hand and realized that the, index finger and left thumb when fully extended create a perpendicular angle to form a capital L.

Amazing...
