What is your most embarrassing "ate the onion" moment?
What is your most embarrassing "ate the onion" moment?
A few days ago I shared some news that the Eurovision song from Israel would be named "Your land is mine now" to later realize it was from an onion kind of website, lol.
I hope I'm not alone in this kind of f'up.

Is "ate the onion" a well known saying? I've never heard It before
-
I'm not sure how well known it might be, is when you take a The Onion article seriously.
-
It comes from the phrase "ate it up" (meaning to gullibly believe something) and The Onion, one of the most famous satirical 'news' outlets.
It means to believe a satirical news piece.
-
If you are unfamiliar with The Onion, a satirical news site, it would not make sense.
-
I think there is a subreddit that is called that or similar.
-
for australian prime ministers it is. at least, it is in recent history

I Can't comment as to the "erll" qualifier, but I have seen the expression used before inregards to not seeing the satire in a satire article.
EDIT: No edits. The above stays as it stands, purely out of spite.

Two mistakes in one 'word'.

But "erll" is fine? Not only are you a grammar/spelling nazi - You're bad at it.
