My brother told me it meant, “A real cool guy.” I told people I was one. I was 12 and had begged my brother to take me fishing so hard that my mom was like, “Just take him!” He was annoyed and called me the word. I didn’t know what it meant. He still gets the biggest kick out of it.
When a simple word from your childhood turns out to mean something completely different… and the way she found out at work is pure comedy gold 😂
This girl shares the hilarious story of how she misunderstood one innocent word her entire life (because her mom told her that's what it meant) —
until one very confused coworker’s reaction changed everything!
Even the most well-meaning family lessons can lead to the funniest “wait… what?!” moments.
Ever had a word from your childhood that turned out to mean something totally different?
Farmer: "Gentlemen. I'd like to present the ultimate plant-based protein technology."
Investor 1: "We're listening."
Farmer: "It converts inedible plant matter into complete protein. Grass, cornstalks, brewery waste, vegetable peelings. Anything cellulose-rich that humans can't digest."
Investor 2: "Energy requirements."
Farmer: "Sunlight."
Investor 2: "For the plant matter, you mean."
Farmer: "And for the conversion. Same sunlight. Reused."
Investor 3: "Heating costs for the bioreactor."
Farmer: "None. The unit holds 38.5 degrees year-round on its own."
Investor 1: "Failure rate."
Farmer: "Self-repairing. The unit also replicates once a year at no additional cost."
Investor 3: "Replicates."
Farmer: "Produces a smaller version of itself. Which becomes a full unit."
Investor 2: "Net carbon."
Farmer: "Neutral. The carbon in goes back to the air the grass pulled it from. Round and round, same atoms, no new ones added."
Investor 1: "And the waste output."
Farmer: "Twenty tonnes of soil enrichment per unit per year. The waste is also a product."
Investor 2: "This would obliterate Beyond Meat."
Farmer: "It already has. They just don't know yet."
Investor 1: "Where can we see one."
Farmer: "There are about 1.5 billion currently deployed. Have been for ten thousand years."
[silence]
Investor 3: "It's a cow, isn't it."
Farmer: "It's a cow."
Investor 2: "We were promised plant-based."
Farmer: "The plant goes in one end. I don't know what else you wanted."
@GeeSmith32 The word “roux” is literally a French word. Same with “étouffée.” Let’s not forget “Orléans” which is a city 2 hours south of Paris, FRANCE. 😂😂
BREAKING: A grand jury indicted Dr. David Morens, who was a senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci from 2006 through 2022. The first indictment of its kind!
Morens conspired with others (including an individual who was not identified by name but matches Dr. Peter Daszak, who helped funnel government money to the high-level laboratory in the Chinese city where COVID-19 first appeared) to destroy and conceal records from FOIA requests, according to the indictment.

By the end of next week, I’ll have been in 5 foreign countries and 20 foreign cities just in the month of March. This is the job. It’s the best job in the world but it ain’t my house. You have no idea how ready I am for a Friday night on the couch.
How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend?
Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?
@brenbo_slice@ReclaimD1 I have a rule about not posting about racial things but I had to go get this receipt. It was too obvious from jump. It was literally the first post that came up under her name. Didn’t have to scroll at all. 😂😂😂
@swampist I’ve been all around the world multiple times. I’ve seen Tabasco hot sauce virtually everywhere. (Not an endorsement) I’ve seen “Cajun” chicken dishes almost everywhere. There’s only one American cuisine that’s been exported to every corner of earth and we all know what it is.
