Have you ever called something by the wrong name in a spectacularly embarrassing fashion?

wanted some perineums to plant at the house. He had the folks working at the nursery going around asking each other if they had perineums.
Spill it OT and tell us when you called something the wrong name and it was awkward.

My nickname for my 69 Chrysler 300 was the "Red Rocket" until someone pointed out how that phrase was used.

Many times when public speaking. Rule is you either just ignore it and keep going, or stop and make a joke of it and then move one. Can't get paralyzed.

While visiting my wife's family in South America, we went to the mall to do some shopping. I know enough Spanish to get by but I'm far from fluent. Still, I can mostly shop by myself. I'm in a shoe store and have decided on some leather dress shoes I want, but I needed socks to wear with them. My brain goes back to high school Spanish class and I ask the salesman if they have any "medias" to go with them. He looks at me like I'm an alien. After some fumbling back and forth, my wife shows up to translate and lets me know that "calcetines" is the word I was looking for, and I had been asking the man for women's socks or pantyhose

I was a camp counselor in high school. We were playing a video game and I told a little girl "facial" after winning thinking it was the new way of saying "in your face". Had to be told by another counselor what that meant. Wanted to die.

I called my wife my girlfriend’s name when hitting it from behind. Not good!

In high school I was riding around with my parents figuring out what to eat for lunch. Suggested we should find some lesbian food. My parents kept giggling asking what I was talking about. Only after repeating myself about 10 times did I realize what I was saying, said Lebanese and buried my face in my phone.
We ended up not getting either of my suggestions

Was in Cancun on a group dive trip and a Hispanic friend and diver with us mentioned that I’m Paul’s easily score a local babe if I greeted her with a cool phrase I. Her language. I practiced on the boat and used it as soon as I had a chance when we ent to dinner. “No tengo verga” was met with a huge grin and a retort in English from her. “So, you have no dick” was her comment!

I was going through the Chick-fil-a drive thru years ago picking up lunch for me and a girl I was trying to hook up with, and accidentally ordered a "vagina" shake instead of "vanilla"...

I thought Tracy Chapman was a dude for about 20 something years of my life.
I used to pronounce nearby as "nerby" (still do sometimes out of habit.)

had a boss who would notoriously come into my office and when she left, would take my inkpens back with her, and when I called her out on it, she would laugh. One morning, she did it again, and I texted her, "Hey, have you seen my penis?" instead of pens. Seeing it was my boss, I was mortified. She thought it was hysterical once I explained what it was supposed to say.

Years ago the wife & I were at a busy pet store. She was playing with some puppies that were in a playpen. One was black and she said "tar baby!" really loud. Apparently she had heard the term a short time before that & had no clue what it meant.
