So, a while back, my son and I were talking about the Medusa's Gaze Attack, and my wife only caught part of the conversation. She was perplexed because she heard "gays attack" and not "gaze attack."

What misunderstandings have you noticed?

Thanks... now my wife has a serious case of the giggles about "gaze attack", again! [:D]
We were in the middle of a game, when we were attacked by a Gorgon, who used it's gaze attack.. and being in an already weird mood, the image of hundreds of orcs in sequined gowns and high heels came to mind. Took us a few to recover from that one.

That brings back memories of a time when my gaming group ran up against the Orc Whores (Orc hoards). Orcs with lipstick ALWAYS brings a funny mental image. [:D]

I've been know to f-up some pronunciations in my early days here in the U.S. The most notorious was 'magic carrots' when I meant 'magic arrows', 'till this day they will not let it go! [:I]

At the last game day we had at the library, there was one teen who was saying he wanted to play an Ash-mire Evangelion??? We didn't figure out what he meant until the end of the day. Aasimar Evangelist. No more non-core stuff for him.

I need a newcastle...
