Senior Citizens: What was the worst verbal clanger you ever dropped?

When I was about two and half and hadn't ever seen my father, as he was away to war, the first words out of my innocent mouth upon meeting him were "Hello Soldier, got any chocolate?"

there's a southern dish talked about as Brunswick Stew that my mom continually made at Christmas. even as i became very youthful, 3 or 4, she nevertheless made it the truly quaint way which all started with boiling a hog's head. I remember establishing the lid of a pot on the range and on the grounds that hog head and screaming. After that she in simple terms offered a beef roast for that area of the recipe and that i fortunately I under no circumstances said the variety of sight in her kitchen back. once she gave up the grisly hog head area, i began to love Brunswick Stew and actual ended up loving it. i'd make some myself however it is an excellent variety of difficulty to make even without boiling a hog's head.

I've done a lot but I'll never forget this one. I used to work at a large grocery, called Dick's Supermarket. While taking my daughter back south, her husband and some friends were to meet us halfway for a transfer.

We met at a pancake house and were all seated having iced teas, when someone asked me what I did. I told them Dick's Supermarket as a cashier.

There was a lull in conversation, so I piped up and said ' it's a big one.' meaning the store of course.

Everyone turned red trying to hide their laughter and be polite and I just about died from embarrassment!!!!

My worst clanger was at the bank,I was telling a lady teller this stupid joke,that there would be no Christmas because I told Santa I was a good boy and he died laughing,she broke out crying and said they couldn't have a Christmas that year,I felt like a real *** and I apologized.

The first radio station I worked at I had to do the news between 5pm and 5:30.I was reading too fast and ran out of copy with 2 minutes time left.One of the other disc jockeys tore off some news off the AP wire service and I read it 'cold' (no pre-reading). Had to deal with the local university and 'micro organisms'...you guessed it I read it as 'miro orgasms'. The phone rang off the hook,thought the boss was going to fire me. He didn't he just said " now I know we have an audience".

At the former airport in Istanbul there used to be a bus taking you from the international terminal to the domestic terminal. One Friday evening at about 10.30 p.m. I asked a policeman where the bus was. He said, 'It's Friday,' and I said, 'Good God! They can't still be in the Mosque!' Fortunately I don't think his English was quite up to that and anyway, Friday is not a holiday in Turkey. We had to take a taxi (taksi) which had to leave the airport and re-enter at the domestic terminal.

OMG. I have so many. Years ago many of us adults used to play basketball in the high school's open gym on Saturdays. There was a younger guy there with a glass eye. It was a bad glass eye too. Looked like he got it at a garage sale. But I picked him for my team and tried to boost his confidence with "Atta Boys". During a free throw, I said "Way to go dead eye." Everyone went silent. Always wished I could go back and change that moment.

I think my late father's clanger was the classic! My mother was at that time of life and dad came downstairs to breakfast one morning remarking - You're mother is the hottest woman I have ever slept with!

You can imagine our reaction and we kept teasing him about this for years!

Back in the mid 70's I was having Thanksgiving dinner with my closest friends and their mother/mother in law. I was 'dishing' on something or another and in one sentence meant to say faux pas [pronounced FO PA] and said Fu*** PA.

COULD HAVE DIED - RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT - LOL

We were visiting a friend in North Dakota and there was a restaurant in town called Fuddruckers. I had made up my mind that no matter what I would NOT mispronounce that name. Well, as we were driving up I yelled out, "there's Rudd........" You got it. I don't think I've ever been so red in the face!

It is a skill I'm very good at, but my most recent was last month when I visited a distant friend that I hadn't seen since her adult girls were tots. I told the daughters they were beautiful when they were little. I didn't mean they were ugly now, but it was obvious I put a damper on their impression of me.
