Sorry, no cigar. :-) To use the word 'misinterpreted' implies that something could possibly *be* misinterpreted, which implies that the person who is concerned about being misinterpreted (you, in the original post) believes that there is only one *valid* interpretation. That, to me, implies a lot of attachment. A less attached person could just say shit and allow others to interpret it however they wanted. To reiterate, more slowly and in all caps, since you don't seem to grasp the concept: ONLY SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES HE HAS THE ONE, TRUE, VALID INTERPRETATION OF SOMETHING WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING "MISINTERPRETED."
