When I was younger, I use to say liberry instead of library. However, I’m from Chalmette so everyone else said liberry too

ETA: my dad always says zinc instead of sink

My wife used the phrase "outer body experience" the other day.

I signed the divorce papers today.

“split tails”

Coulda used the “p” or the “c” word for the same effect.

They all three mean the same thing.

Split tail is derogatory for females

In 7th grade I had to read a section in our biology textbook. Instead of saying “organism” I repeatedly said “orgasm.” The teacher just said afterwards, “I think the word you were looking for was organism.” I took credit for it as my peers high-fived me afterwards.

I once meant to say tentacles (trying to explain how wide spread a certain situation was) and accidentally said testicles. Was on a call with some higher ups and multiple levels of management. I couldn’t contain my embarrassment laughter and shock. Took me a good minute to regroup.

I have been constantly putting my foot in my mouth since I was a child.

I called 1000 years a century in an article.

A guy i work with says breffix instead of breakfast. It drives me crazy but I can't bring myself to correct him. Same guy can't figure out the difference between idea and ideals.
