Have any of you experienced times when someone just gets something wrong, in terms of quotes, song lyrics, that kind of thing?
Yesterday my mate at work was asked to explain something in "lame man terms".
My mate once accused me of looking "a bit seldom today", the same one who thought John Lennon's wife was called "Yono Bono".

There's a couple of people in my team who think the Actuarial Team are called the Actual Ariel Team.

At first I thought it was just that they had trouble pronouncing 'Actuarial' but then I saw them actually write it as 'Actual Ariel'. I didn't want to make them feel stupid either so I didn't correct them and let them carry on

Not a quote thing but a work colleague asked me what the difference between Guinness and Red Guinness was. When I told him they roasted the barley for less time, giving it a lighter colour, the barmaid shouted that I was wrong and that they brewed it with caramel.

An irish guy at the ferry port years back was collecting forms for boarding and used the phrase "Its like finding a needle in a haystack"
Also, my mum thought that in Tom Jones song the lyrics 'Sex Bomb' were 'South Park'.
