in Chit-Chat
Does anyone else have a problem verbally expressing themselves at times? I'm not talking about putting your foot in your mouth or not thinking about what you're saying before you say it. I mean literally not saying the word you think you're about to say.
Example:
I was at the gas station, and the attendant asked "Cash or credit?" My answer?? "Crash"...apparently my brain thought it would be a GREAT idea to combine the words right before it came out of my mouth. This is not a one time thing for me. I was at taco bell drive through (years ago...before my MFP days haha) and my younger brothers were in the back seat. I asked them if they were going to want any sauce...as the cashier always asks "Hot, Fire or mild sauce"....One of them wanted hot sauce, the other Fire. So when asked if I'd like any sauce...my mouth said "Fa~hot sauce". My brothers STILL laugh about that. Oh, and because of me...my family cuts grass with a machine called a Mawn Lower.


Anyone else have some tales to tell so I don't feel like such a TOTAL dork?? Well...So I won't feel like a total dork ALONE?? ;)

    LOL - I do this all the time - I can remember when I was a kid I called the patrol doors where the road patrollers went outside the bada doors - no idea where it came from. My mouth changes the words at work too - I am nurse so you can imagine how that sounds sometimes LOL

    Oh yes, I do this ALL THE TIME. I also do it when typing....use a different form of the word I meant to use. For example, I might say "you want to eatING all your calories" instead of "you want to EAT all your calories". <shakes head> I'd blame it on being old but I'm not old! <lol>

    I do this ALL the time. My brain just gets so far ahead of my mouth, and so I mash up words all the time. The other day, I don't remember who I was talking to or what we were talking about, but it was definitely something dangerous. So, my brain was telling me to say "No, its dangerous" and then list all the reasons I felt that way. My mouth, however, came up with, "Its nangerous."

    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:

    I LOVE HIM!! "Take care...of the luck...if you had any, take care of it"

    I actually found out about him because I posted this "Crash" topic on FB and my friend linked me to "YOU TOO"
