I never understood the abbreviation for White anglo-saxon Protestant (WASP) so as a teenager I thought these initials stood for "Women Absent of Sexual Preference"!!
A childhood belief about speaking

others believed things like this
- I used to think that the initials NYC stood for "nobody you're calling" Anon
- I used to think that the abbreviation lb (for pounds) stood for Lilla-blams (like Kilograms)— Jake
- That you start out Catholic and after you reach a certain age you then become Protestant.Anon
- i used to think that being a prostitute was a religion. (sort of like protestant i guess?)Anon
- I thought your loins were kidneys, and nobody corrected me until I was a teenagerAnon
- that black women breastfed chocolate milk instead of white milkAnon
