Verbal Typos...
 
What is the craziest thing that has ever come out of your mouth on accident? (More commonly known as verbal typos...)

For me, the worst one that I have ever happened occurred when I was hanging out with my boyfriend. We were sitting and watching a movie, and I saw my dog in the doorway. Without even thinking, I said in a fairly loud voice. "I love you!" and my boyfriend turned to look at me like I was the strangest person on the planet. It took me several moments to convince him that it was my dog I was talking to, and not him. This was when we had just started dating, so it was uncomfortable when I said it. Now, every time my dog's near me and I tell her I love her, he still looks at me funny.

I once said: "I'm too care to cold!" when I actually meant to say: "I'm too cold to care!" My friends all looked at me weird and one guy named Alvin was laughing.

On the same day in the lunch line, he says: "This long is too line!" when he meant to say: "This line is too long!"

Retaliation is a ------. ;D

Best thing that accidently ever came out of my mouth? xD
Well, there's this girl who sits at my table, who I hate with a passion. One day, we were all eating lunch, and there's a table of my guy friends that sits right behind us.
We were talking about what we wanted to dress up as for Halloween, and my guy friends were staring at me. They know it makes me uncomfortable.
So, the girl is complaining that she doesn't want to dress up as the theme I wanted for myself and my BFFL, and all the sudden I go.
"Well... YOU'RE JUST A WHINEY LITTLE BITCH!!"
Everyone started cracking up, and she just looked at me with her mouth hanging open for a minute.
I told her afterwords I was cursing at the guys, but everyone knew otherwise xD

That's funny, I do that all the time! I do it so frequently that I often can't remember exactly what I've said wrong. Another of my problems is saying 'he' instead of 'she' and vice versa. Boy do I feel rude when that happens.

My mum once said "motorised lawnmower" instead of "electrical toothbrush"

That's likely to be the craziest I've ever heard...

I am also known to mix up words that mean the same, and make useless abbreviations when sleep-deprived... like "usealt" for "useful alternative" XD

Sleep-deprivation is my enemy, but it gives me and my friends many good laughs ^^

PrinceAlee 11-04-2007 11:39 PM

I don't know... Usually I just mix up he and she and then my friends call me stupid, but I always know which one the person really is I just said it wrong~

I guess one time my mom said something that was only lamely funny and so I told myself to laugh so she would feel better but instead of laughing I said "lol". ._.;; I don't like saying internet acronyms outside of the computer unless I'm joking. |D; So that stunk.

king99 11-04-2007 11:40 PM

i do it all the time.
mostly because i talk too fast and cant get my words out fast enough so i blend words together XD
the one that always comes to mind was when i was doing chores and i was trying to tell my sister to help out with the dishes. i said something like "c'mon you could help the dowishes"
when i meant to say "you could help do the dishes"
now she makes fun of me all the time

Okay, I can beat all of you.

I have a couple of teachers who don't like it when I say "bad" things, such as "suck" or "crap" or anything like that.

So one day in English class we were talking about writing essays. And I wanted to inform my teacher that I sucked at writing introductions. But half way through saying it, I remembered that I shouldn't say "sucks" so I changed it to stinks. But since I changed it halfway through, it came out a bit wrong...

"I stink at sucking!"

T_T I quickly corrected myself. "I stick at intros!" But it was too late- the whole class had already heard me.

UniqueComplex 11-04-2007 11:44 PM

I feel like everyone has a lot of the same mistakes. Yes, not having sleep is the craziest thing. Sometimes I tell people things I am not supposed to when I am tired, and then I forget I told them.

I've told people where I am most ticklish and things of that nature when I am lacking sleep. Then I have no defenses and I am weak and pathetic!

Spatterdash 11-04-2007 11:45 PM

I have a tendency to just tail off into mumbling halfway through a sentence when I realise it isn't going anywhere. It's the nearest I can get to deleting the whole thing, but life comes without a backspace key.

Oh goodness, I feel your pain. Today I said something terrible, instead of saying "They would steal it" and my van was full of my friends, who all stared at me like I was incredibly stupid.

If I get riled up, I stop making a lot of sense.
><
I just start switching words and nothing comes out right!

I'm part Irish, but you can't tell it through my accent until I get upset, and then I start talking like that. But since I am not really used to talking like that, I stumble over my words and stutter a huge amount. It kind of makes me sad, now that I think about it, because people laugh when I talk like an idiot, and it gets me more upset.

Emo 11-04-2007 11:57 PM

  • I often talk to fast for my own good

    and when I'm trying to tell my friends something like, for example, what happened at the mall the other day, I completely leave out pro-nouns and such, like instead of saying 'I went to the mall' I would say 'I went there' and I would replace names for he or she, and so on and so forth.

    So the whole time I'm talking my friends are just looking at me like they have no idea what I'm talking about >>

    Edit~ OH and speaking of different languages

    I've been teaching myself french lately
    and I was mad at my friend who is a guy, because he did something stupid or whatever, then I started yelling at him in french!

    It was funny because I scared him :]

Teeth 11-05-2007 12:04 AM

So many things like THAT have happened to poor old me..
I geuss when I accidently said 'Pussy' instead of 'Posse' to my health teacher. o.0

DarkMelancholy 11-05-2007 01:00 AM


I do that almost all the time. That's because, I don't
talk a lot, and when I do, I usually don't make sense. xD

Anyway, one of the verbal typos I said was to my
brother. I asked him if he could "bend his knee
straight?" . . . yeah, I meant, "Could you kick the air
without bending your knees."

Another time, I was asking my friend about graduation
requirements, instead I asked about "graduaments" . . .
yeah, I don't know why I put those words together, and
after saying it, I couldn't say them separate. :| And
my friend tried to say graduation requirements, but
she ended up saying what I say. We both laughed, until
we got it right. :P

Lombardy 11-05-2007 01:01 AM

Well, I do it so often picking one would be impossible. XD
Usually happens when I'm thinking of two words at the same time.
They blend... O__o;

inseCuREly 11-05-2007 01:14 AM

...xD When I was going to visit family a few years ago, I brought my best friend along on the road trip. Right? Well, we stopped to eat at a little restaurant along the way. She was looking around while we were waiting for our food, and was like, "This feels like a big chicken!" instead of kitchen. So I laughed, but not for long. BUT THEN, not minutes later, she was going to say something about a chicken... and said kitchen by accident. This time, I laughed really hard. I haven't let her live it down since. : D

bearysplash 11-05-2007 01:19 AM

i think of any verbal typos i've made at the moment but i know there are a lot. but i can think of something my sister said.
She was walking with her boyfriend and she was telling him what had happened that morning. She said "this guy almost kneed me in the eye with his elbow!" it was so funny. i was dying of laughter.

shellthabunny 11-05-2007 03:03 AM

Haha thats a cute story ><

life in red and black 11-05-2007 03:18 AM

Ah, I remember that from Scrubs! Elliot's boyfriend said "I love you." and Elliot, who was rearranging CDs, said "I love U2" by accident. She never said those words before and it was totally by accident!

tirethminet 11-05-2007 03:31 AM

i do this all the time.
mostly, it's a hysterical moment where we all just stand and stare at each other before cracking up.
if i can think of any, i'll post them later? XD

Admonish Misconstruction 11-05-2007 04:23 PM

Verbal typos that usually put thoughts in your mind. Its are but hilarious, and yes somewhat immature and disturbing.

Pkero 11-05-2007 04:26 PM

Once, I was thinking about Gears of War, specifically the Locusts. Then my mom asked me what I wanted for dinner, and I said "LOCUSTS!" really loudly. She looked at me strangely.

TwistedOrchestra 11-05-2007 04:48 PM

Well, In dutch i once said : Mijn jeus neukt
which shoudl have been "mijn neus jeukt"

The translation is barely imposible to say xD
