I didn't learn until last year, at 30 years old, that "decking" someone meant to punch them, not tackle them. In my defense, I learned this word with the example of someone running up and punching someone so hard, they tackled them in the process.
I heard someone refer to Wales as a country. I looked it up and realized I had never seen a proper map of the UK that showed country borders. I had thought Wales was a district of England like Essex or Somerset. I always knew they had a strong sense of identity with its own culture and even language, but I’m Canadian and I thought it’s like Quebec.
@@spencercorby4571 Consider yourself lucky. I remember when I was 13-14 and me and my class went to camp on bike. I had to ride with the janitor. I still remember all the kids on their bike ready to ride all looking at me as I walked to the janitor's car (this was when we left the camp).
Washington DC is not in Washington. I found this out last month. I always thought it was saying it like "DC, Washington", because that means that that location is in that state, just the other way around. Why the heck did they name it that if it wasn't in WASHINGTON Edit: 7:11 Seems I'm not alone in this lmao
Fun fact: the original name of Washington state was supposed to be Columbia, but they decided to name it Washington. So people won’t confused it with the District of Columbia.(a.k.a. DC.) As we already know, this didn’t work.
I (non-American) looked Washington DC's location up recently. It's on the border of Maryland and Virginia. Had it in my head it was in the state of New York :P
