After mis-speaking, I once indignantly sputtered:

"What, like I have some sort of sleech impediment?!"

Someone in my French class didn't know what the Holocaust was.
"Oh, that thing with the Jews? Didn't that happen like a thousand years ago?"

The same person later didn't know what roman numerals were.

Two of my friends (talking about me going to go see Bob Dylan):
"Isn't he dead?"

Yeah, are you sure he's not actually dead?

Like maybe he died sometime in the late 80s and Tom Petty just buried him in the Pet Sematary.

Maybe it's like that movie "Weekend at Bernie's".

There's a Jamaican guy in my World Lit class who also happens to be slightly out of it.

On Beowulf:

"So was the king like some kind of gangsta, ya know? Like Dan Corleone in da godfather? I'm just askin."

On my teacher's ability to pronounce "Walther Von Der Vogelweide":

"Is you German?"

On Dante's Inferno:

"Sounds a little like hell, doncha think?"

I recently found out that until last week, one of my friends thought that there were three countries in the world (continents) and that they were Canada (States too), Europe, and Antarctica. And that Australia was a part of Mexico. Mexico being a branch of the US.

When we told her that pretty much everything she said was wrong, she wouldn't believe us until we showed her a map.

This is a great thread....I hear people say stupid shit all the time.

I had someone one tell me that Pierre Elliot Trudeau, probably one of Canada's best known LIBERAL Prime Ministers, was a CONSERVATIVE We had a huge argument about it. (It's a hugely dumb thing to say in Canada...it would be like someone saying Clinton was a Republican.)

I heard someone say "For all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes". I laughed.

My friend thought that Alaska was a province in Canada until I told her otherwise.

There are a multitude of people that think Hitler started both World Wars, in my teaching experience. So dumb.

I guess this is more of context thing, but I still thought it was pretty dumb.

We were watching "Rushmore," and at the very end when Max's dad said "C'mon, shake a leg," this girl with whom we were watching the movie was like, "Haha! Shake your leg!? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" At that moment, everyone in the room did the slowly-look-over-our-shoulder-back-at-her-with-a-ghastly-expression maneuver.

"What? Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"You don't know what 'shake a leg' means?"
"Oh, I thought he was telling that other guy to shake his leg."
