RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (You say what???)
Burlesque!
This wasn't when I was a kid though, but otherwise fits.
I was working on someone's computer at work, and she was having a conversation with another woman about something. There other woman said multiple times that such and such was "so burlesque". Being a word not commonly part of my vernacular, I googled it to see what it meant. This was my result.
I read the first definition and thought (out loud) "Huh...I think I would like burlesque."
"I bet you would like it," replied the second woman accusatively. And then she went on her way.
What was she accusing me of? So I looked back at my phone and read the second definition. Very different from the first! But she was already gone, so I couldn't show her how this little confusion came about. I still laugh about it though.

Hahaa!!!! That's the funniest thing... and so awkward when you say it so naively, and then only realise afterwards what it is!
