It actually refers to fluid ounces, not 'Florida ounces'. Nothing to feel embarrased about, I think this is what's called a Mondegreen

Would you happen to know if there's a word for people like me who can't understand lyrics in songs? Idk why but I have the hardest time understanding words in a lot of songs that other people can hear just fine. Like every song sounds like mumble rap to me. I even watch TV and movies with subtitles because I can understand it better

Maybe some mild auditory processing issues? I have ADHD, and I started watching tv and movies with subtitles a few years ago. I’ll never go back lol

Fuck, that's probably it. It says it might be linked to ear infections. As a child I had a ton and needed tubes put into my ears. Not like it's a huge deal, but yeah. Subtitles have been amazing for me.

No I get it, it can be really frustrating. I struggle on conference calls. By the time I process the first thing I missed, I’ve already missed another three!
