    I do this all the time and everyone makes fun of me. The more excited I get telling a story or speaking in front of people, the worse it gets and I mix up letters or run words together.

    Once I had a marketing presentation for my company. We had just started working with Nickelodeon so this was a HUGE opportunity and I had the owners and about 10 executives in the conference room for the meeting as well as my direct bosses. My plan was to present our idea for a trade show which was to have someone dress up as SpongeBob. On off times, while the character actor took a break, we were going to have a large cardboard cut out made for attendees to take photos with. I was so nervous and did my part and did great until I got to the part about the cut out. Let's just say due to my nerves I added an extra letter in "cut."

    The silence was deafening. I thanked everyone and fled the room. The moment the door shut, the room burst out laughing. No one ever mentioned the incident directly to me thank god but I was mortified and haven't been able to watch SpongeBob since without wincing inwardly.

    Shopping at store and want some Chris and Pitts BBQ sauce and asked where the piss and crits was. At work my bosses names were Julie and Joe and I asked where is Jew and Jolly. And many years ago when the had Regular and Ethal gas the attendant asked my if i want Rethal and I told him no I'll take eggular Almost forgot I was working drive thru and I was handing back the change instead og saying here's you change I said here's you name. go figure

    Yeah, I think asking someone for Piss and Crits wins, that's so great! Wonder if that person went home and said "Honey, you won't believe what some woman asked me today...." HAHA!

    The other day at work I was going to tell my co worker that I wished another co worker would STOP being GRUMPY, well as you may have figured from my emphasis on the words, it came out STUMPY. So now, whenever my friend sees me she says "What's up, Stumpy?". You are definitely not alone. It happens to all of us.

    All the time! I always forget the word that I am trying to say so I substitute it with thingy, doo-dad, whatsit, so a usual sentence for me would be, "does anyone know where my wotsit, thingy ma-jig is??" of course people always know what I'm on about... I am a great cause for amusement at work and not just for that!

    The other day instead of annoucing I was going to the bathroom, I was going to shout I'm off for a wee but I thought, no, I'm an accountant and I should say something more professional so I came out with "I'm going to the place where I can be alone to do something private for a while".... WHAT AN IDIOT!!! Now when anyone is going for a wee they reel off my stupid sentence :grumble:

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA! Um...first...that takes WAY too much effort to come up with...second...YIKES...that sentence could get a person into trouble!

    I answer the phones occasionally at our office. Once, after the caller thanked me for the information I provided I responded with "Not my problem". A cross between "my pleasure" and "not a problem".. yeh it came out rather rude. I'm smooth like that.

    Haha! I do this all the time!!!

    When I was still in school, and I needed to cash my checks from work, I would always say "Mom can we go check my cash?" Every single time!! I still catch myself saying it and many many other mixed up words.

    Another great running family joke was something my mom said. She was ordering a sandwhich at a deli, and the guy asked her "Do you want hot peppers?" My mom answered "A few"...the guy looked shocked and said "EXCUSE ME?" (Mom quickly realized that her "A few" sounded like F~you" ....so she just said "Yesssssss".

    So now if anyone says "a few" in my family whom ever hears it automatically replies "Yesssssss"

    I know this is an old thread but just came acrossed it -- and had to share mine in case someone needed a smirk.

    I used to be a counselor for adults with mental illness. I had this one client with the biggest boobs you've ever seen. She was very proud of them and dressed to show them off. Well -- we were talking about her getting back into work and she told me she had an interview for a waitressing job. I smiled -- said "that's wonderful!! You're going to love getting all those big tits."

    Of course what I meant to say was "tips."

    And then we have "pickled tink". Several years ago -- I was going on and on about how pickled tink I was to be going on a mini vacation. My wasband kept asking me what was I talking about -- and I was like "pickled tink -- you know excited?? duh". He says "I've heard of 'tickled pink' before but I've never heard of 'pickled tink'. The sad part is -- it took my brain a second to figure out what he was saying lol. It's still pickled tink -- but only because I love to say it.

    lol I'm all the time mixing up the beginnings of words, tat flire (flat tire). The all time favorite of my friends that they wont' let me live down was when I was driving with a couple of friends and our kids, everyone was being super loud and arguing and I go "Don't make me pull this car over, don't think I will." ...It took me a minute to get why they were laughing.

    Let's see, just the other day I told my daughter to "stop chewing her cow like a gum!"

    She's 16, and she had a field day with it! Awesome!
