A misapprehending of "let off steam".
When I hear "let off steam" for the first time, I misapprehend it. Let off steam? Does it indicate "don't play game too much"? As you know, Steam is a platform of games, so I think perhaps it means we should "keep away from Steam, and do other things". But then I realize that I misapprehend it, it means "relax yourself". How funny I am!
