Oh, movie line? Idk
France is bacon... Just kidding. Not exactly mishearing, but I misunderstood "the best defense is a good offense" as if you defend super well, you'd attack your opponent with your defense. It didn't make much sense until I realized you're supposed to attack in order to defend...
For years I didn't realise it was about American football.
In American football if you attack well you get to attack again, and again and again. You literally don't have to defend. The only thing better than defending well is not defending at all.
Obviously this reaches a point where you attack so well you score. But even if the other team attacks perfectly it becomes a 0 sum game.
Also american football is a stupid game.
Pretty sure Napoleon had something to do with this saying? I mean, if you don't take it as closely, you could argue Sun Tzu first came up with it.
Sun tzu played american football confirmed
Can't think of a specific line, but I'm sure something from Grease. I was obsessed with that movie as a kid, and my many questions about some of the plots and lines led to my parents giving me The Talk. So I imagine I misheard a bunch of lines about periods and such.
