Massive is not a random made-up word. Things are massive when they have lots of mass.
Also, ponies aren’t baby horses.
Nope. From the Arby’s website FAQs:
Why? What’s in Altoids? Is it people? Its people isn’t it.
Well, I’ll be…you’re right!
I just learned that word the other day while watching a rerun of Just Shoot Me. 
Here’s one: I was in 8th grade before I realized that The Underground Railroad was neither sub-terrainean nor an actual train.
Ah, but what does courage mean?
The root of that word is cor, meaning heart.
Cordial, concord, discord, core, coronary, cardiac, myocardial.
I had the same thing with Hermione until I saw the first Harry Potter movie.
No, just horses. Baby horses, to be precise (ie ponies). Think about that next time you eat jello.
4th grade? Didn’t a family member correct you before then?
I realized that, oh, about 30 seconds ago. :smack:
Count me in as someone else who liked his brother’s favorite band, Chick-a-go. It never occurred to me that they were from Shicawgo.
Because of course it’s “Peen-a-lope”.
I watched Three’s Company for years, years I tell you, before I caught on to the whole Jack had to pretend to be gay to live there portion of the show. I just thought that Roper and Furley were dicks for no good reason.
Ponies aren’t baby horses, they’re small horses.
Get ready to learn about ponies!
As Gary Larson once cartooned: “Horses hooves? There’s always room for ground up hosese hooves.”
Yum. I’d eat those.
What I won’t eat is tongue. I could never eat anything that’s been inside a cow’s mouth. That’s gross! I’d rather just have an omelette.
woosh… boom. Sorry, that one had a small sonic boom on the end.
Did you guys not read the thread, or assume that I didn’t?
I was reading Sirius as Sirus throughout the novels.
I was in my fourth year at a liberal arts college when I learned what “liberal arts” meant.
Well, eek, I had never made that connection. Never have eaten at the place, either, as it seemed to look a bit like “yes much beef and hamburgery things we will sell you, but we are NOT at all like that other place …” but, seriously, I just somehow supposed it was from some company owner’s nickname, or some such thing. Oh well, perhaps it has now gone away to be replaced with some other foodplace-thingy.
Bah, huh, though - I find it saddening to have to learn about mistakes I have made that I didn’t even previously know about. :eek:
I feel stupid. I will drown myself now. 
According to the training session I went through when I started working at Arby’s the name came from Raffel Brothers’, the people who started the chain. They say the similarity is just a coincidence but I have my doubts.
Long ago I heard the expresion, “Education is not a putting in, but a drawing out.”
Although my vocabulary and knowledge of Latinate roots are large, it just hit me a couple of weeks ago that the very word “education” reflects this fact, “e -” meaning “out” and “duc(e)” meaning “draw”.
WOW! I’ve known the word “educe” and its meaning for some time, but I never connected it with “educate” until just now. More ignorance fought.
Considering that an “RB” is a common abbreviation for a Roast Beef sandwich, I’d be very skeptical. The fact that it can also stand for “Raffel Brothers” is a cute coincidence that may have clinched their choice of name.
That’s a wholly new one to me, although, in my defence, I never heard that expression before.
