He said I Heard

It tickles me to no end how much two english speakers can not understand each other. People expect that kind of thing when you speak different languages but you just aren't on the look out for it when you speak the same one. Assumptions can be a bitch.

Not long ago Das and I were idly chatting and the subject of lingerie came up. I said something to the effect of it's too bad you don't like lingerie b/c this whatever is cute. He looked at it and agreed that the whatever was cute and then pointed out several other whatevers that he liked. I was puzzled so asked if he had changed his mind about not liking lingerie. He said no he still thinks matching underwear is silly and useless. Now I am really puzzled, what does matching bra and panty sets have to do with lingerie? He looks at me like I have lost my mind and informs me that lingerie is underwear what I was pointing out was not lingerie. Oh, I didn't realize that, I had been calling it all lingerie, maybe it's a regional thing... so all this time that I have not been buying all the cute little outfits to run around in because I thought he universally hated them all he really only wanted me to not bother with matching bras & panties. Sigh. On the other hand a whole new section of shopping has just opened up so yay. There is always a bright side.  :)
