means misunderstanding something for something else that sounds similar but have nothing in common, like roma (the city) and toma (a kind of cheese) vuol dire confondere qualcosa per qualcos'altro che sembrasimile ma è comletamente diverso, come Roma e la toma (il formaggio)

Another typical expression with the same meaning is: "hai capito fischi per fiaschi" fischio, plural: fischi: whistle fiasco, plural: fiaschi: 1) bottle, flask; 2) complete failure (for instance in a theater or concert)
