I suspected so, but the way you worded it was just asking (neigh, demanding) to be "misunderstood" for humouristic purposes :)

I think it's just me not being a native speaker and being lazy with my wording

Not a criticism.

As far as I can tell (not a native speaker myself) it was properly worded and I only acted as if I had misunderstood it for humouristic purposes.

I've done it for actual expressions used by native speakers by simulating language ignorance and interpreting them in a literal way, for fun, just like I did here.

Sorry if it sounded like a criticism - I meant to just take the piss in a friendly way.

No worries, I didn't take it in a bad way
