Oh man I once made a huge ass of myself by hearing someone call SQL "Sequel" for the first time and saying I had never heard of it while talking about database design. Everyone else I had ever heard say it out loud had used the "Ess-Cue-Ell" version of pronouncing it.
Weeks later I heard someone else call SQL "Sequel" and I had enough context there to know they were talking about an SQL database and put it together. I think the person from that first conversation just thought I was a complete fucking moron though.
