in an argument, someone just stated Kurt Cobain had a "sorted" past.

some of my all-time favorites from work and life:
"Without your password, I can't give out any account pacific information"
"I was wearing tenor shoes"
"Minds a well do it, you have nothing to lose."
and there was one time Al Michaels was on MNF and he accidentally said a player was "unmolested", later correcting it to "uncontested"

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?

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.

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.

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.
