A childhood belief about places
others believed things like this
- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - I thought the England was EDGE-land but england was ENG-landAnon
- For along time I thought the Middle East and Eastern Europe were just different names for the same place!— Helllowerer
- For the longest time I thought Pig Latin was an actual language that they spoke in a part of Europe.Anon
- "The wombles of Wimbledon Common are we" meant that there were loads of them...— Mike
- It was common "knowledge" where I lived that if you picked dandelions then you would wet the bed.— Holly
