"the school Liberian"

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Monday, 3 February 2014 23:42 (ten years ago) link

Although that last one was typed, so I think autocorrect is half to blame.

recently my office was gathered for the announcement that a guy was leaving which led to a colleague giving an impromptu testimonial wherein he described the guy as having been "a real detriment to the company" there was a brief moment of silence before everyone burst out laughing while he tried to forge on can only think he'd wanted to say...asset?

conrad, Tuesday, 4 February 2014 11:27 (ten years ago) link

Aw man, the impromptu testimonial speech is definitely the moment of heat, too

someone mentioned the movie bruce almighty and someone else said something about steve carrell and a funny scene from one of his movies and someone else said "was it in 40 years a virgin?"

reminds me when my younger brother bawled "VAGINA!" at my nan, during a parlour game that involved naming things - in this case "body parts" - beginning with a specified letter.

my nan said "yes dear, I suppose it is" which was about right.

wasn't really in thread premise tho. man at developers I was visiting today said "exackerbated" surely as a joke earlier. not at all in the heat of the moment. must've been a joke.

I once tried so hard to not office-speak "going forwards" that I said "from this moment on" instead like I'm gandalf.

I once had an angry client complain "How can you make such a mistake, it's not rocket salad!" and I laughed, thinking she'd made it up as a joke to take the heat out of the situation, but it turned out she hadn't and that's what she thought it was, and I was just laughing at her getting angry and it made her more angry.

turning myself in: i always say "deplete the purpose" instead of "defeat the purpose" and then spend the next few seconds trying to remember what i was supposed to say, often to no avail

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Saturday, 6 September 2014 04:51 (nine years ago) link

Also turning myself in, in reverse: for some reason I always assumed "moreish" meant trendy, of-the-now, or sophisticated in a kinda gauche sense. So when I asked for a second packet of peanuts in a bar and the woman behind the bar said she found peanuts moreish, I was puzzled and then laughing about this with my friends: haha she thinks moreish means something you want more of. Turns out that's what it means. Guess I confused it with modish, maybe.

i always say prostate for prostrate

difficult listening hour, Sunday, 7 September 2014 08:46 (nine years ago) link

people always say no pun intended when there was in fact no pun! annoying!

flatizza (harbl), Sunday, 7 September 2014 13:00 (nine years ago) link

or maybe they mean none was intended and they were successful at not doing what they did not intend to do so they are announcing it. i did not use a pun, and no pun was intended.

I accidentally said "I pledge allegiance to the plag" the other day
