I used to be like this. I would also accidentally make sexual innuendos, some of which were never explained to me.

Daddy needs to get his rocks off

Ironically, I don't get the reference.

We had a French exchange student at one point and somebody told her the phrase "I'm gagging for it" meant she was thirsty. As in, she wanted a drink.

She kept saying it all the time. While waving her hand around in front of her face in a flustered way.

It got to the point where it would have been embarrassing to explain it to her.

So you just left her in the dark until years later she realized it and now it's something that pops into her brain late at night.

Who knows, she may have already known what it meant the whole time. She’s French, after all.

So you've just been raw dogging social interactions?

True story my friend's wife used that term without realizing the connotation.

I had to look this up. How do people come up with these phrases?
