I used to believe that grilled cheese sandwiches were really called "girl" cheese sandwiches. I believed this because that's what it sounded like people were saying and my sister, mom and I were the only people I knew who ate them and we are all girls. My father never ate them, I thought it was because he was a boy, but it turned out he just didn't like cheese. Even when my brother got old enough to eat them he didn't like them, so I never said it properly until it was spelled out in something I was reading when I was about 16. I wonder how many people thought I had a speech impediment every time I ever asked for a "girl" cheese sandwich.
