Yeah, it's definitely "raised my eyebrows."

Learned/learnt is another good one.  Technically, they are both correct - the difference is in American vs. British English.  I'm from the United States, and I always use "learned," but I know in the UK they use "learnt," so either one is acceptable.  Same with spelled/spelt, and I'm sure there are other similar examples, too.
