I was saying something about the Green Mountains in Vermont and a lifelong French-as-second-language reader's face went absolutely ashen as she figured it out. Maybe 35, 38. She was equally flabbergasted by Montreal.

I dunno, as you provided the tender document to Guido which these figures derive from, you’d have to have read it to discover it really isn’t just graffiti cleaning but all cleaning across TfL and Fucksake Tom they have 8000 *buses*, 460k on cleaning them alone a day isn’t that expensive is it

I'd been aware growing up that Germany had been divided into East and West, and that Berlin had been split into East and West. I also knew that Berlin was in the East, not on the boundary. And yet somehow it was only a few years ago that it clicked that the Berlin Wall was a ring around West Berlin

Almost certainly the time it took me to get the joke in the name of 2000AD's robotic double-act "Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein". I'm not going to say how long - it's too embarrassing - but ice ages have passed in less time.

I really shouldn't say exactly how recently it was that I realised "breakfast" literally means "break fast" 🥚🍳

Flat earth theory. Until recently I finally got what they 'visualise', that they mean it's flat but still in the shape of a circular disc. Unlike what I thought THEY thought it was, which was flat, as in Earth was like a long highway with a drop at the end. I'm 37 years old and an absolute mess.

The Blues Brothers introduce Stand By Your Man by calling it a "favourite of the horn section," The song does not actually have any horns in it.

Selachii and Venturi as rival houses in the Discworld novels. First mentioned in the 90s. I didn't put it together that Selachii meant shark and the venturi effect is how jets work until the early 2010s.
