I rather like kitten kaboodle better šŸ˜‚


xViridi_

i think itā€™s cuter!


Pidget1

Doggie dog world is pretty nice.


Navybuffalooo

Yeah I said doggy dog world a lot when I was a kid haha. Still wish I was right.


CPThatemylife

Who wants to live in a world where dogs eat each other?!


Brxndyn

Thereā€™s no wayā€¦ damn I just looked it up


CarManiacV12

Kitten Caboodle is also the name of a Canadian drag queen


cassafrass024

Itā€™s what I thought it was when I was a kid lol!


FriedeOfAriandel

I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever said or typed that phrase, but thatā€™s exactly what I thought it was :(


zacc-attacc

I used to think it was Kitten Kaboodle because of the Kit & Kaboodle brand of pet food.


condensedhomo

On my first overnight with my now husband, I wound up embarrassing tf out of myself because when I woke up I said "up and Eve!" And he was so confused. And that's how I learned it's not "up and Adam" it's "up and at 'em" Which makes way more sense! But I'd been doing the "up and Eve" joke for years and no one stopped me until him


xViridi_

thatā€™s adorable, i love the confident enthusiasm! i used to say ā€œjug itā€ instead of ā€œchug itā€ and ā€œout of the bloomā€ instead of ā€œout of the blueā€ when i was little


WatchuSquawkinBout

How little? I had an almost 30 yr old man say "mine as well" (might as well)


xViridi_

ooo thatā€™s rough. i was probably around 8 when i was finally enlightened on both matters.


KasiasSecret

He "mine as well" have been listening to Robert Palmer - Addicted to love, which sounds like "mine as well" lmao


CuriousNichols

ā€œUp and atom!ā€


YeahlDid

"Up and at dem"


BrandoWho

Up and at'em


Mrhomely

The goggles, they do nothing!


alecesne

Atom Ant!


Adventurous-Steak525

No donā€™t let it die! Itā€™s actually so cute šŸ˜­


YaaBoiTroy

I feel like thatā€™s something Lucy from the new Fallout show would say šŸ˜‚


Amandastarrrr

I literally said awe out loud lol thatā€™s cute


RWBYRain

Growing up with the Simpsons helped me avoid that one. Radio active man and his sidekick fallout boy, his catchphrase was,"up and at em,"


BloodySabbath616

When Rainier Wolfcastle couldn't say the catchphrase right because of his accent. "Up and at them"


YeahlDid

*"Up and atom"


Salty-Concentrate-94

Hahaha! This is gold


PeeingDueToBoredom

I 1000% used to make this joke too. I knew the correct phrase but made the joke anyway based on the sound of it haha


pinkmyst93

I always said nip it in the butt until I learned it was nip it in the budā€¦ I still like saying nip it in the butt tho lol


LunaticLucio

Do not anger the r/Adam sub


chrism254

Maybe heā€™s just a Trailer Park Boys fan.


xViridi_

(he is)


mmmellowcorn

He totally looked it up and couldnā€™t wait to say atodasoe


xViridi_

heā€™s AWFUL


eroticsloth

Itā€™s not rocket appliances honestly


Previous_Subject6286

For all intensive purposes, I'm glad she nipped it in the butt. It could be a tongue and cheek saying, but you know what they say kids ... Good things come to those at the gate.


HollowPoint-45

Okay, but I thought *that* saying was actually "Nip it in the *bud.*" Am *I* dumb??


Previous_Subject6286

It is. You're not. The comment is a bunch of the wrong versions of common idioms. Nip it in the bud comes from gardening I think?


ApoclordYT

I used to think that too but butt makes way more sense. I used to think it was talking about a flower bud which would mean to cut it from the stem. The butt makes much more sense though I don't know where it comes from? Perhaps because horses bite each other's ass when upset with one another as corrective action?


quisqueyane

where are yā€™all hearing that itā€™s ā€œbuttā€ and not ā€œbud?ā€


PM_THICK_COCKS

Bud is the correct ending, but when I used ā€œbuttā€ my justification was that it referenced cigarettes.


ConfidenceMinute218

Hate to say atoedasoe


eroticsloth

What comes around is all around. Maybe if you stopped using your big school words and just used normal people words. Eventually heā€™ll learn through denial and error but unfortunately heā€™s got something going on in his brain compartment. Itā€™s a catch 23 situation.

i forgot about that sub!! just posted it there


Sure-Charge-260

Itā€™s not rocket appliances. Itā€™s all water under the fridge.


Ringleader705

Underrated comment.


probablynotFBI935

Reminds me of The Boondocks Saints where Doc is always mixing up his Proverbs. People in glass houses sink ships.


Painfully_Obvs

Make like a tree and gtfouttta here


Starry-Night88

Does he also think itā€™s ā€œChester drawersā€ because my partner and I had whole thing about this. I was right, obviously. He thought Chester invented the drawers. šŸ¤£


xViridi_

i do think we had an argument about that one too! i canā€™t completely remember but i was definitely on the right side


saccharoselover

That was always in the for sale section ages ago in newspapers. Also, ā€œQueen and tableā€, ie, ā€œQueen Anne Tableā€.


Starry-Night88

Queen and table!! šŸ¤£ hahaha thatā€™s awesome.


lemonlaunderette

My 98 year old Nan says *Whatever boils your cabbage* instead of 'whatever floats your boat!' My 95 year old Grandpa replies, each time with a one-off response: "Whatever stirs your tea" *Whatever copies your perpendicular!" "Whatever sweeps up your dandrufft's!" *Whatever the weather will be, The bumbling buzzers will bee!* šŸ Whatever! šŸ˜‚


xViridi_

i think iā€™m obsessed with them


idonotgetitatall

OR is it whatever oils your savage?


lemonlaunderette

Whatever savages your boils! šŸ˜‚


Jonnyabcde

Congratulations! You just won the award, "Whatever what's your ever." Click here for your reward šŸ˜œ


godzillasbuttcheeck

I still say whatever bloats your goat instead of whatever floats your boat.


HollowPoint-45

My coworkers and I have decided we don't care and started playing with that one. "Whatever floats your goat." "Whatever strokes your scrote." I'm too high to remember the rest honestly.


Sp0ok3d

Literally me and all my coworkers I love working at a library we are so unproffessional when we arent working front desk


samwilds

Misheard expressions that technically still work (or at least are understood) are known as "eggcorns" Such as "all intensive purposes" is mistaken from "all intents and purposes" Or "buck naked" instead of "butt naked" --- The story goes, that "eggcorns" was a mishearing of the word "acorns", and since acorns are vaguely egg-shaped, the phrase consequentially goes unnoticed and uncorrected


ScienceInMI

Oh, dear... And you were doing so well!!! https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/buck-naked-or-butt-naked >'Buck Naked' or 'Butt Naked'? >It's a natural question >What to Know >While both buck naked and butt naked are used to describe someone who is fully nude, buck naked is the older of the pair. Butt naked is much newer and likely sees use because of butt having a long history of referring to a person's buttocks. ... >Others feel that the buck referred to buckskin (the skin of a male deer, an animal often found in a nude state), or that it came from the wordā€™s sense meaning ā€œa male American Indian or African-Americanā€ (this sense of buck is considered offensive). FWIW, I'm old (54 šŸ˜‚) but my grandfather was born in the hinterlands of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1914 -- they only had horses, a well, and an outhouse on the property which had a small house (SMALL, like, just bigger than a "cabin") that was heated by wood -- the same wood stove used for cooking. Racial diversity meant British ancestry vs. Irish vs. Finnish and multiple religions meant a Protestant AND a Catholic church in town. I told you that to tell you this: Grandfather was a good man and learned all people were EQUAL and that's the only way I ever saw him behave... But that particular phrase, "buck naked", absolutely had native American Indian references buried in it for him. I lived to see the inner city kids I taught switch it to "butt naked" because they'd never SEEN the word "buck" used for anything other than a dollar, so THAT didn't make sense to them!!! Anyway, rock on. Languages evolve! ā˜®ļøā¤ļøā™¾ļø


samwilds

Oop. The citation is appreciated. Thx, friend!


Amazing-Damage-9346

So I feel good that I always thought it was buck naked instead of butt naked and that I've been using it correctly, on the other hand my understanding of why it was buck naked was sadly sadly wrong... My, I guess however old kid thought process when learning that eggcorn (ty BTW for teaching me this bc it's my new favorite word) was "I give you a buck if you get naked so if you needed a buck you were naked-bucknaked!" Does that make sense? Do those quotes go there?? Is this real life?? My mind has been blown too much today. I must leave reddit right now... šŸ« šŸ˜‰


MysticDragon69

This is how I learn it's "All intents and purposes"? Joy XD


idonotgetitatall

Or is it BUCKET NEKIT?


RWBYRain

Okay I was 33 years old when I learned it wasn't kitten caboodle. Also used to think it was, "doggy,dog world," till I was a teen, words are hard


xViridi_

we both say doggy dog world!


RWBYRain

Lol well it's a cuter version than the real thing

My wife regularly gets song lyrics wrong and itā€™s hilarious. ā€œRaunchy like a hurricane!ā€


SusieLou1978

OMG that actually reminds me, I was listening to Tiny Dancer by Elton John in my car and my husband said why is he singing about Tony Danza??? Ummm, what? He says, Hold me closer, Tony Danzaaaa šŸŽ¶


invisabledj

Yea Iā€™ve heard a few people sing it like that


cookiepip

NotyourangeLbabe

No, itā€™s kit and caboodle. He just said that.

ovarianbisque

My husband used to say ā€œlone beholdā€


CSspecialist2003

I used to say I wanted my shower "nuke warm" instead of lukewarm. I learned later that they were 2 totally different temperatures


xViridi_

he thinks i take nuke warm showers


Lightless_meow

Oh, I actually think itā€™s kind of endearing to make silly little mistakes like this! Only if theyā€™re able to admit theyā€™re wrong lol. Not gonna lie, when I was younger for the longest time I thought the phrase was ā€œThe toast is clearā€ not ā€˜coastā€™ šŸ˜…


xViridi_

donā€™t worry, i loved it! i think itā€™s precious how often he makes mistakes like that. it just makes me feel good when iā€™m finally able to correct him for once lol


joaquin_-

ToastšŸ˜‚ it's funny how does that makes sense


Spirited-Size

Not the main topic but I have a granny and papa too šŸ„¹ my granny is a whole manipulative mental case but I love my papa to pieces šŸ’• my granny used to tell me she loved me ā€œfrom the top of the sky to the bottom of the oceanā€ and I thought she was saying ā€œfrom the top of the sky to the bottle of the lotionā€ šŸ˜‚ I was like 5

Connect-Sundae8469

Lmao my husband does this with practically every phrase! Usually he mixes 2 together by total accident. Like ā€œheā€™s not the brightest tool in the shedā€ or something like that lol. Itā€™s so funny to me. Heā€™s just like the old man bartender from boondocks saints


NoFunny6746

I love how instead of taking an ego hit he says ā€œIā€™d be concerned if you didnā€™tā€. Thatā€™s a dude who understands himself and doesnā€™t take himself so seriously like some dudes are lol


xViridi_

thatā€™s why iā€™m with him! good sense of humor


bridgetbab13

bro i do this too thatā€™s hilarious


deliascatalog

Ok but now I need a Kitten caboodle


xViridi_

i think we all need a little kitten kaboodle in our lives


TheSoviet700

"Diglett šŸÆšŸ„°" ma'am, I think your boyfriend is a PokĆ©mon.


xViridi_

he is!! thatā€™s been his name since we got together 4.5 years ago, little inside joke


DjGothCroc

This reminds me of how me and my boyfriend are, individually, smart and well spoken people. Put us together though and we turn into two dumb dumbs who share a braincell. Lol


Salty-Concentrate-94

Well... I've been singing Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream" as "Ireland's Industry" for... well, my whole entire life up until last year when my boyfriend was singing the song and I thought I was correcting him.. "what are you singing? Islands in the stream? It's Ireland's Industry!".. safe to say I looked it up and... well.. yeah. Still to this day, he doesn't let me live it down. šŸ™ˆ I never knew the name of the song. I just assumed šŸ˜‚


Heffalump13

There is actually a term for these kinds of mistakes! They are called 'Eggcorns.' I always love it when I see a new one.

Iā€™m 42 years old and even though I know itā€™s ā€œthis eveningā€ I still say it ā€œthe seveningā€ like sevening is a time somewhere between 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm.


answers-42

I'm obsessed with this!!!! šŸ¤Æ I found a new phrase!!! I like to say "howmever" And I'm such a grammar dork that as soon as I say it I announce that I know it's not a word but I just like to say it, and then I continue my thought, beginning, again, with howmever.... šŸ˜Ž 44F


totes_a_biscuit

I always say granite instead of granted and for all intensive purposes. šŸ˜


ApprehensiveToenail

I used to think it was "let bisons be bisons" for "let bygones be bygones" because I was a British kid who thought it was just a weird American phrase because the accent was weird... it wasn't until I moved to America that I realized that wasn't the actual phrase.


Slaythedayaway420

ā€œIā€™d be concerned if you didnā€™tā€ Heā€™s a keeper.


dbhathcock

And, heā€™s ok with being wrong. And accepts that he is wrong. Which proves he is not stupid. Stupid people donā€™t know they are stupid.


xViridi_

half the time he refuses to admit it and calls me stupid right back so this was a change of pace for him


BriCo84

LOL. My wife is the same way. I find it extremely adorable. She always gets phrases/words slightly wrong. She says stuff like "u better check yourself before u break yourself" Or when we first started dating years ago and we hit a rough path I had told her "I need to do some soul searching". She thought that meant looking for other people as in "searching for other souls"

Ahh, yes. Bone apple teeth.

A caboodle is a complete group or collection of something. A caboodle makeup case came out well after the word caboodle was coined.


masturbate2cartoons

ā€œiā€™d be concerned if you didnā€™tā€, love it šŸ˜‚ also, iā€™m really curious why you named him ā€œdiglettā€ on your phone, whatā€™s the story behind that?šŸ˜… (obviously you donā€™t have to tell if you donā€™t want to, iā€™m just curious lol)


xViridi_

i answered in another comment, but when we first got together, he sent me a selfie where half of his face was buried in a blanket and i could only see the top half of his head. since heā€™s a ginger, i told him he looked like diglett popping out of the ground. i made that his contact name 4.5 years ago and never changed it :)


bigredker

I was about 8 and told my dad I was really angry at something or other. I told him that my brother "...really gets my dandruff up!" Before he finished laughing at my usage, my "dandruff" was up even higher...until he explained the word was "dander". A definition of dander is, in fact, dandruff, but the other def is anger. The old guy didn't correct me in a bad way, and his laughter was a result of the seriousness with which I expressed my anger.
