The other half came out with one tonight when she told our 4yr old son that Doctor Frankenstein’s creation/monster was called Frankenstein ! If you show a picture of said monster to several people and ask who it is about 90% will say Frankenstein ! Who would like to add to this thread with some popular misconceptions? I seem to think that I may have already done this, perhaps on the old site but come on lets have your popular misconceptions ! There are hundreds of misconceptions but the Frankenstein one is one of my favs and I am always the first to correct people when they say it ! :)
PS- You cant have “Beam me up Scotty” or “Play it again Sam” because most people know about those !!
Possibly even football related:
In Roman times a vomitorium was the entrance and exit from a stadium, not a room where people went to vomit after overindulging on meals. In fact, the entrances to the stands in stadia now are still called “vomitorium”.

One of my favourite cartoons of all time had a huge number of furry animals rushing to the edge of a cliff and one is saying “Hang on, lemmings are brown. We’re grey. We’re probably wombats”.
Well, it made me laugh.
Everybody thought I once got a Scouse bird pregnant after a drunken one night stand. That was a popular misconception all round.
