I used to believe that when people would say "Miami" they were really saying "My Ami". And I don't know why,but I thought "My Ami" meant aunt's house.It's funny becuase there was a song that was saying "Welcome to Miami" the whole song,and I thought it was about a guy inviting people to his aunt's house.
