I used to think masterbation (i think I spelled that right) was the same thing as a period...so I used the word masterbate a few times instead of period, no one ever corrected me
I didn't find out I was wrong until i was 12...man was I embarassed because I said "I mastrabated last week." everyone made fun of me because of that.
