There's no incentive to post wrong IFotDay.

So rather than provide us with more information about your interesting fact, you'd rather us either take your word for it or consistently try to prove each other wrong?

This isn't a skeptic thread. I'll be posting links. Or even better, I'll just mostly post in the Kick-Ass-Wiki article thread.

There's no reason not to post the source.

You post those links, sir. And I won't click them because I trust you. I feel this thread is for quick interesting facts. No research required. You see a fact you're especially interested in, feel free to investigate.

I would prefer you just mostly post in the Kick-Ass-Wiki article thread. It would seem that's what you're more accustomed to.

A song lyric that is often misheard as another set of words is called a "mondegreen". For example, in the Bruce Springsteen song "Blinded by the Light", the original lyric, "revved up like a deuce" is often misheard as "revved up like a douche". The douche part is a mondegreen.

Mondegreen is my new favorite word.

Mondegreen is my new favorite word.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band rendition of the song was responsible for the mondegreen. Springsteen's original was folky, easier to understand, and didn't get nearly as popular.

thekremlin · 04-18-2011, 03:52 PM

I know! And many would argue that the mondegreen is the reason for the popularity! And this is a conversation we would not be able to have as easily without this really stellar word!!!!!!!

Should have created a poll.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 05-09-2011, 07:59 PM

What is the context? If you can replace "No shit" with "No duh" in a sentence you have used it correctly.

"No. Duh" means no. "No duh" means yes.

thekremlin · 05-10-2011, 10:43 AM

No, duh.

Orgazmo · 05-10-2011, 10:44 AM

"Duh" also would mean "Yes," though.
