Around 5 or 6 is when I started hitting my testicles on the bar on my bicycle. At that age, that's pretty much their entire function.
I think your sig is missing a word, darwin.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.
That's hilarious. That sig isn't my handy work. It's the work of one of those "moderators".

I used to think the 5'o clock news covered "leg-breaking" news, meaning it was so dangerous to cover some of the stories that reporters risked breaking their legs.

I've got a bunch of these, that I can remember off the top of my head...
You know the statement "I'd just as soon..."? Well, I still catch myself saying "I'd just assume..." Not sure how that happened.
My Dad's medicine kit was always his "dop kit", which always causes my nurse/x-ray tech wife to think "dop hop" and burst into laughter. I still don't get it.
In a similar vein, my Dad always talked about "cut and sewn" shirts, which I have used, to this day, to mean "dress shirts". Of course, all shirts are cut into pieces and then sewn together, either by hand or by machine. I have asked him about the etymology of this and he doesn't know.
And two other stories that might not fit here, but I gotta share:
Once, when I was perhaps 3, I was riding subways in New York with my parents when across from where we were sitting a large black man (I add skin color only because my parents have added it to the story all these years). Well, this fellow decided to toss some bit of trash onto the floor of the subway and immediately, young Hickster started yelling "Litterbug, Litterbug!" My parents attempted to shush me, not wanting a scene, or worse from the guy, but to no avail. Eventually, with a sheepish look on his face, he bent over to retrieve it.
And finally, this one about something that sticks in your head for no apparent reason...
My parents and I were riding in the car, driving over Berthoud Pass and I distinctly remember a conversation about "hairpin turns" and how my mother was telling my dad not to use such slang terms when I was at such an impressionable age. Both of them deny the conversation to this day, but I remember it like it was yesterday...and most certainly call them hairpin turns!
Too long a post, I know, I probably lost you like KOK does in that other thread :)

Hey, that wasn't stupid - Adam Ant was and still was the bomb! No comment on Shakey.

My great-grandfather changed it when he came to the States. I'm so used to it this way i don't think i could go back to the (proper) pronunciation.

I always thought you pronouned the 'e', like the guy in the Name of the Rose.

Boy does that bring back tearful memories.
