Have you ever used the wrong word?

I repeatedly called the little bugs by my window split tails to the pest control guy. They are actually spring tails

Wow...
I don't think you can ever come back from this.

Split tail is derogatory for females if I remember my redneck correctly

Randy Marsh did in South Park.

“Split-tails”. Refers to something entirely different in truck driving circles!

1 time i said "there" when i meant 2 say "their"

I once said the word "extruded" when I meant "extracted." I didn't realize it until someone mentioned it. Very embarrassing.

yesterday, I had a 10 minute conversation with someone who was talking about pastors, but kept saying pastures...I didn't have the heart to correct them.

Haven't you mentioned this before? I think you might be doing it on purpose.

Actually an old Marine Corps slang along with calling a woman a wook.

I have indubitably NEVER used the wrong words! I say what i mean and mean what i say!

My dad would always add an R to the end of words ending in a vowel. The high school near where he lived were called the Barracudas. He was telling this to a female client who was about 40 years younger than him. He kept saying Cudars this and Cudars that to her. Completely oblivious to the look in her face. It still makes me smile thinking of it.

I once said mockery is the sincerest form of flattery and I was dead serious in my delivery and conviction in saying it

I thought you were talking about earwigs!

Don't feel bad. I consider myself an alpha male and I don't even know what kind of bug you are talking about.

Yes around the holidays while digging through the bowl, I mention I can't find any Brazil nuts in here. Right away someone tells me the correct name for them.

I mispronounced foliage for years.
Still can’t say the proper word for woo woo sauce.

ETA: I’m sure I’ve made my share of mistakes, but the one that first came to mind was a co-worker that would send out email saying “get a holt” instead of get a hold.
