Your Most Embarrassing Word Flip

This morning I walked into the break room to get my boss some coffee and the top head honcho of the entire company was in there. Because he’s very serious and can be a little tough on people sometimes, he makes me really nervous so my dumba$$ felt the need to explain why I was there... Instead of saying “I’m just getting some coffee for Mr. Smith” I said “I’m just getting some Smith for Mr. Coffee.” FML!

I am sure that I've done things like this a million times and conveniently blocked them from my memory.
My male coworker accidentally called me mom once. He's 33, I'm 42, and I've also seen him check me out many times. Awkward.
Ah yes...for some reason, this weekend I've called headphones "sunglasses" at least twice. I also used to call stop signs "stoplights" without realizing it, when navigating for other drivers.1 -
Went to the macdonalds drive through after a big night out and asked for 3 "Hash Cakes" rather than 3 hash browns!1

I had problems hearing out of one of my ears. Everything sounded muffled. I went to the doctor and she asked me if I had put anything in my ear. I told her a "toothpick" when what I really meant was a "Q-Tip."
Even after I corrected myself, I think she was still uncertain.2 -

This made me laugh out loud!1 -

OMFG I would die if I ever called someone mom! I've accidentally called my female co-worker 'babe' before, but we're close so we just laughed it off..0 -

Hahaha! that is too funny! This reminds me of when my best friend went to the doctor and the doctor walked toward her with his arms up adjusting his sleeves/getting ready to check her ears but she thought he was reaching out for a hug, so she put her arms out too. She said she immediately realized what was happening and is pretty sure the doctor saw it and just brushed it off. Needless to say the rest of the visit was pretty awkward.0 -
These stories are reminding me of the 60,000 times I've been talking on the phone and suddenly realizing I can't find my phone and telling the person on the phone that I think I lost my phone

This reminded me of my own dad. Years ago when my brother had a blackberry phone, my dad said he had a "blueberry phone."
Then there was my grandma that always got confused and called Starbucks "Big Bucks." She wasn't completely wrong though. 1 -
Not embarrassing but funny, last year I told my daughter to take off her feet at the lake instead of take off her shoes.0

I was coaching a shooting/scoring drill with my soccer team. After one of my players missed my pass to him for the third time, I told him to "just focus and kick my balls!" I think my assistant coach was the first to fall on the ground laughing....LOL.0

My family always found it hilarious when my dr asked me once if I had lost my appetite due to a virus. I replied no, I just don't feel like eating. Even the dr kinda chuckled.
