when someone commits a speaking error in the heat of the moment, document it here

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

I always say 'debilitating'instead of 'deliberating'

just said "clinical error" instead of "clerical error" i do this often

listen don't put a guilt conscience on me

this happens to me every day because i work with non-native speakers but my favorite one is self-steam because of how true it is.

hahaha, love that

Last night I said "when pinch comes to shove" :/

Stop by later, I have to show you something. I found some golden gems in there.

i accidentally said "barely manilow" the other day and got excited, until i discovered a tribute act already exists by that name :(

That's a good one. My favourite was a Burt Bacharach tribute called Burt Backing-Tracks

they're gonna have a hard time finding a movie that TUOMAS MADE UP...(in his self conscious)

"given up the goose"

i want to make sure this isn't just a one...one-on meeting...

I said purse-clutching instead of pearl-clutching just now, oops

It's a shit phrase anyway but

"This is the most difficult part and the part that involves the most hair-wringing' *makes pulling motion*

'ya got any tea and flick medicine?'

"Her credentials are unimpeccable - in every sense of the word"

haha that's great

they cannot be impecked

In trying to describe Punishers logo the other day I referred to his "skeleton head".
"... you mean skull", says bf, who now won't let me live it down.

Must have been a glitch inside your skeleton head

confess to having sympathy with ur bf in this situation

me just now when my cat suddenly freaked out and did a wall jump:

parquet!

at this point i have accidentally said "knock me off my socks" so many times that it's now replaced "knocked my socks off" as my default. not that i say it that often. but it's similar to how autoreplace on an iphone can turn into a nightmare when you make the same mistake too many times and apple decides to adjust itself to accommodate your recklessness

haha that happens on my phone a lot

autoreplace thinks thnkeankehjteh* = thank you for ...

*or something like it

hearing a lot of "back to ground zero" recently

(instead of "square one")

square nine one one

This thread makes me think of Little Carmine Lupertazzi.

heard someone refer to "the dominic effect" recently, can't remember who or when but i wrote it on a post-it and just found it on my desk

Heh. It would make perfect sense in a UK context.

Referring to this shitstain btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Cummings

bist du sicher?

Ich kenne ihn nicht.

Was ist Tennis?

Der Dominic-Effekt ist in full swing!

Ganz toll!

and if you don’t know, now you know
