A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with 'English as a second language' students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a 'horse bath' in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he'd misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.
The story they replied to is also hilarious. “Showering on hard mode” lol
I second the autism comment of the gp. The sensory issues are real.
The...Generic Poster? Gangsta Poster?
I thought my English was decent, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what he misheard to get to "horse bath".
In Germany we say Pferdewäsche, is that what he meant with "horse bath"?, it's a clean up of your face (or other parts or objects), but too quickly, so mostly negatively associated. A fresh up of the face however is one of the few exceptions, but mostly used in a short humoristic way.
Pferdewäsche of your car, would likely mean the car wasn't cleaned properly and there's still some dirt. Same when you Pferdewäsche your body, it's doing the most basic necessity, not enough to be the exclusive way of cleaning in the long run.
