For a long time (actually until last week), I thought the word, lukewarm was “nuke”warm. I think the reason was probably because I was associating “nuke” with a japanese word for lukewarm “nukui”.

I can’t believe nobody corrected me on this for seven years. How embarrassing..I think I’m gonna start telling people that the water is “nuke”warm when it actually is boiling hot (like nuclear warm = hot). This way, only those who pay enough attention to me can avoid getting burnt.
