What just came out of my mouth?!!??

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??

I told my daughter to "cut it off" the other day...I started to say "cut it out" but finished with "knock it off"0

Me!! This happens to me often. I totally get tongue tied. Glad I am not the only one :-)0

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 LOL0

did she come back with short hair?? lol0 -
I have done this many many times before. So far we have Grunchy (Grumpy + Grouchy), Scootle (Scoot + Scuttle) and I recently did another one that I can not remember right now lol0

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>0

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."0

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:0 -
I once asked for strawberry sauce at mcdonalds instead of ketchup. (they're both red) This was only a few years ago, I was an adult. :-/0

my nephew is 3, he always calls my boyfriend grandpa by accident.. he gets confused. sometimes he'll correct himsellf and say "oh, victor!" and sometimes he just laughs.. well one time he called him "Gramtor" LOLLL he just stared blank hoping no one noticed untill we all starting cracking up.
He also always calls me "mom" by accident, so he often says "matia" "mom" and "Tia"(spanish word for aunt) lol its funny0 -
Every day. Luckily I have a husband who I could pretty much just blurt out a random sound to & he knows what I want.0

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"0 -

HAHA, I like Grunchy0 -
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.0 -

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!0 -

LMAO...Umm...I would've thought AL PACONE...was instead of Al CAPONE...where the heck did Al pacinio come from???0 -
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.0

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA! Um...first...that takes WAY too much effort to come up with...second...YIKES...that sentence could get a person into trouble!0 -
I'm an ex-Sailor, so... yeah... :embarassed
*edit* I guess I should have taken a sec to read the responses before replying lol. I assumed by the title that this was a thread about cursing. :laugh:0 -
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.0
