What's a phrase you misinterpreted the meaning of for the longest time? - tchncs

I’ve seen people using “that’s what she said” in a very serious setting, as a way to say “good point/touché”. They had no idea it was from the Office.

Running “balls out”.

I assumed it was somehow referring to testicles. It’s not.

It refers to the operation of a centrifugal governor.
