My nickname for my 69 Chrysler 300 was the "Red Rocket" until someone pointed out how that phrase was used.
When I was at Marine Corps OCS if you screwed up or did something wrong, the platoon commander would make an entry or memo in your training jacket in red ink. We called them "Red rockets". To this day, when I write my congressman or senator a scathing letter I call it a Red rocket.

On another note, I had a fully grown adult coworker that thought Goose and Geese were two different birds. This guy has reproduced.

Once as a young Legend I called my girlfriend's house and asked her mom to talk to the wrong girl.
I still see that girl from time to time. She hasn't let me live it down.

Around 1982, Gerald Ford gave a speech at Auburn. He was introduced by the president of the university, Hanley Funderburk. Funderburk was not very popular with the faculty and was only there a couple of years. After Funderburk introduced him, Ford made his way to the podium and started his speech by thanking "President Thunderbird" for the kind introduction.
I was sitting on the front row and behind me were several faculty members, one of them said in a rather loud voice, "Thunderbird, you know, like the wine." Ford did not seem to understand what the laughter was about.

I was going to call my wife "honey", but what accidentally came out was, "You ruined my life you miserable bitch. I want a divorce."

Wife to be (no pics) and I were in college and went on a date to a nice French restaurant. The waiter asked her if she would like some wine? She said she would like a “white or Chablis.” The waiter gave her a funny look and brought back a glass of white wine. She realized her mistake after saying it. We still joke about it 40+ years later..
In Arkansas for business an asked a local about the Owacheeta river. He gave me the correct pronunciation of Ouachita.

Yeah dude, playing that ‘popcorn’ reading game in school. This was senior year of high school, English teacher would make the class read the daily newspaper.
Talking about religion, got to me…the word Episcopal was in my address.
Ehhpeee-skooo-pull
That’s how I pronounced it. I’m not religious, whatever.

I remember back in elementary school, the teacher would ask everyone to take turns reading one paragraph in a story or article. After you were through with yours, the next kid would read the next one, and so on.
Well one poor kid started reading his paragraph and missed one key word.
"There are many stars and constipations visible in the night sky".
Hilarity ensued.

They do at times and so do Australians. It's called the linking r and is added to a word when the end has a vowel sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound.

I was just out of school at my first job. We were in a meeting and our boss was telling us about a business trip he'd been on. I asked if his trip was fruitful. He was a gay man.
I almost blew an aneurysm trying not to laugh when I realized what I had said.

When I was little - probably third or fourth grade Herbal Essence shampoo had a commercial where the women would wash their hair and start orgasming. (Or at least make the noises)
Well we had the shampoo and I started to mimic it, loudly, in the shower thinking it would be funny and also having no clue what the commercial was really insinuating.
My parents were confused as hell and came in asking what the hell I was doing. They got a good kick out of it when I told them I was doing the commercial. It’s funnier now looking back as a parent.

When I was a kid I didn't know there was a difference between "jacking around" and "jacking off". So when asked what we were doing the past hour, 10 year old me immediately replies, "Not much, just in the woods jacking off."

I make a lot of embarrassing errors and typos in stories.
I can go back and edit on my main platform during the school year.

Yeah I once called a federal judge the wrong name. He had a common Hispanic name and it always get those mixed up. He was gracious enough to not comment.

Years ago when the iPhone X came out, I visited the Apple store to visit a tech to resolve an issue with my computer.
At that time I had an older iPhone and was about ready to upgrade.
I asked the tech if he had any of the new iPhone X's (exes) in stock.
Tech looked at me and said, sir its called the iPhone 10.
I never gave any thought to the fact the the X was a Roman Numeral

Similar to that, at a family dinner with a former girlfriend, she kept referring to "Moussaka" as "Moose-Caca". Whole family was doubled over.
