I thought the "Gulf War" was in fact the "GOLF War" and was happening at a golf course near our home.. like … halfway to see uncle Peter!! 😅

Either I'm stupid or I'm right and relieved, but in French, I think, they're the same words which led me to not understand why the "golf war" until quite late (early 20yo I think). I didn't think it was about golfing or anything but... what golf are we talking about lmao?
