@frosty99c@midwest.social

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.

I thought my English was decent, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what he misheard to get to "horse bath".

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.
