Horrified Bunny

I have always been aware of the jokes about misheard, missung lyrics...such as:
Elton John's, "Candle in the Wind"
Misheard Lyrics:
It seems to me you lived your life
Like a camel with the wind

Original Lyrics:
It seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.


Tres amusing! But what if you have a word that you have misused your entire life!!??

How horrified was l to discover a word that l have used within my lifetime is indeed out of context! I sit here and squirm, trying to remember who l have said it to. I am sure l do not use this word often but l do know that l have used it. How many times? To whom?

The discovery....
It was only when l asked someone last week "Are you ****?"and the look on their face told me that we had a totally different understanding of my question.

I thought that l had been enquiring if the person was agitated or edgy....what l was really asking was...are you.....

toey

Being immensely sexually aroused, typically wanting sexual intercourse


To those that l have ever asked if they are toey......l am not usually that forward!

Apologies!
