Here are a couple more that took getting used to: "hun the rud". Whuh? Well, a road grader is a "hone", and every once in a while they have to hun the rud (hone the road).

One of my favorites: When Bob and I first got married and were discussing food preferences, he said that he liked pretty much everything, then mentioned that he didn't really like camel. WHUH? Um. I was trying to think under what circumstances he might have eaten camel. Is it even LEGAL? Then one day we were ordering ice cream sundaes, and he said he didn't want any "camel sauce" on his. Oh. Caramel. Thank goodness.
