Is this the thread where we post our dumb kid etymologies? Because oh boy, I've got one.

As a kid, I played a lot of Ogre Battle 64. One of the weapons in the game is called a rapier. I'd never heard of them before and wasn't familiar with the word, but one day I happened to overhear some true crime thing my mom was watching on TV that involved rape. I also did not recognize this word, but I gleaned from context that it was a violent sex thing.Aha! The light went off in my dumb kid brain. To rape someone meant to stab them in the junk, and a rapier was a sword designed specifically for doing so.

Aaagh you just reminded me of my first time playing Scrabble. This was with my mom and I was a kid, and I played the word "rape". I didn't know what the word meant, but I had seen it somewhere or other, and I figured it was probably an appropriate word to play... Yeah, it went a bit awkwardly. I don't know if I got to change my word after I was explained what it meant.it's also a perfectly common variety of cabbage grown for its oil rich seeds
I was playing Scrabble at my in-laws one weekend. Triumphantly played the word ‘glans’, which would have secured me the win.
Everyone told me it wasn’t a word and wouldn’t let me have it.
I’m still bitter about that.
