Pickles are cucumbers. Figured it out by blerting it out in a high school AP class, I'm sure they wondered how I got into the class after that

The origins of Break A Leg are surprisingly complicated, but this isn't one of them.

This is a backsplanation. AFAIK there's no evidence that was the intended meaning of the punchline. It was always ever just supposed to be an unfunny nonsensical joke.
That's good to hear because again, the straight forward answer is better.
When she said "or we can go to my house and study there..." she had no intention of studying at all.

Consoles have some weird ones, like the Xbox being the Xbox because of Direct X and them opting not to change it
Hahaha I did the same shit until like senior year of high school. Pretty embarrassing when giving a speech and saying eh-pih-tomb out loud
... holy shit this thread already blowing my mind haha
In Yakuza 4, when you go on a date with an hostess, you end up at the batting center after the date.
I was wondering why the hell you always finish your dates at the batting center.
Waaaaaaaaaaaay later, I realized that the love motels are across the street of the batting center.

I guess everyone missed the buzz back in like 2011 when Martha Marcy May Marlene came out. Also go check out that movie.
Beatles -> Musical beats (as opposed to beetles, the animal, with two "e"s)
Legally Blonde -> Legally blind
BEAT-les (ie a musical beat)
Legally Blonde is a play on Legally Blind I thin
Edit: beat-en to the punch
In Link To The Past you're supposed to use the bow to kill the Armos Knights as they die in 3 hits from arrows. For almost 25 years I always killed them with a sword and never even considered using the bow (aka the dungeon item) to defeat them. This is even more sad when the rooms before them have similar looking armored knights that can only be killed by the bow.
I realized only in the last year or two what quarter refers to in the phrase "give no quarter". I always understood the context but had just never given thought to what quarter meant.
This is a good one that I never even considered until I had my own kids and realized what it was.
Makes sense when you see the old logo.
There was this old gag on Married with Children where Peggy has Bud pick up some stuff from the store. He pulls out all these romantic things...and then batteries, cue laugh track.
When I was a kid, I thought the joke was that batteries are a boring, unromantic item.

In the same way, growing up I thought rendezvous and "ron-DAY-voo" were two separate words that meant the same thing, because I'd never seen the word in school and it showed up in books I was reading, so I'd never heard rendezvous pronounced or "ron-DAY-voo" spelled out.
That's a relief. I thought I'd be the only one posting about the Beatles. It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice the pun.
When she said "it's late and you live far away, you can stay at my place tonight"
I got it the second time.
I was legitimately in my twenties when I learned you snap your fingers with your thumb and middle finger. I'd always try to do with my thumb and trigger finger and just assumed I couldn't do it for some reason.
Felt really dumb after that.

I was never that into Michael Jackson, but I obviously heard a lot of his music over the years. There was this one song that I was sure was called "Ender," and I thought the lyrics were "I"ll be the ender!" and it related to him ending a toxic relationship. It turns out the whole time it was "Dirty Diana."
