Down means feather, wtf. I also thought it was a phoenix potion for when your character was down.
Well yeah, it is a potion, but I guess it's made from Phoenix down, which explains the high price given how rare Phoenix are.
Not realizing that I could use the right joystick to drop smart bombs/ activate hyperspace in Defender II (Atari 2600). For years, I thought they had removed those features from that version of the game. 
In my defense, I didn't own the manual when I first got it.

I feel a facepalm whenever I read a review complaining about something that can be fixed in a menu.
I facepalm whenever I see people flinging scores at each other.

I facepalm when I see you flinging poop everywhere.
Otherwise I would get an eye infection.

Oh man. That reminds me of when it was brought to my attention that the bushes and clouds in mario are the same graphic, only colored differently.

I was listening to Giantbombcast (sadly) and they were talking about the potion that revives a fallen character in Final Fantasy - Phoenix Down. Like two of the four hosts I had not realized that Phoenix Down was actually the down of a Phoenix (as in a down pillow). I knew what down was, I knew what a Phoenix was, but I always thought that it was just a random word mashup and that Phoenix Down was there for you when you had fallen down.
Then there was Dvader finding out that Zebes is not pronounced Zeebs (I had also always called it Zeebs).
In almost every RPG I play (and I play a fair few) I almost always find out near the end of the game there was a much easier way to get through the game (like not realizing there was a Recall (Rope) spell).
It might be hard to remember, but I want to know at least some of you have had moments of realization like this.
