Verbal Typos
Last semester in my communications class, we had an icebreaker session for the first week. We were arranged in a circle and were told to share one of our scariest experiences. I do not know why I chose this particular event but, well, I did. When it was my turn, I told the class about my horrific, jellyfish incident since I abhor any creature that squishes when you apply pressure on its frame.
I started to recount my seaside happening where I stepped on a huge, jellyfish lounging on the shore. Of course, I did not know that the darn thing was dead, and as usual, I freaked out and forcefully shuffled my soles on the prickly sand. I then further articulated, “And I mean, I felt the spongy testicles between my toes! It was horrible…horrible.” Some people looked at my curiously while others detected my error and smirked sheepishly in response. The professor grinned, obviously embarrassed for me. “Erzulie [Holy potatoes! I was about to put my real name here!] You mean tentacles…not testicles.” That memory still haunts me; my classmates still have that knowing, silly look on their face when I see them on campus. Talk about a recurrent cringe.

holy crap!
hot damn.. i wudve transfered :P jk
in my classes they think its cute when i say a badliya.. :P
usually its just me being tongue tied but it still sounds funny!
Snookie: Heh, well I DO NOT know why but when I'm nervous I have a weird accent...I mean I can totally do the "All-American" twang but when I'm up there presenting, I sometimes have a psuedo-European lisp. Don't ask :P
My brother used to make that mistake ALL THE TIME! :)
Stinni: Seriously...the two words are so alike! (but miles apart :P)
I hate ice-breaking sessions
Sami: Heh, well it depends on the professor; mine was annoyingly quirky.
Hmm was that your subconsious speaking up? :P
*subconscious
Sedna: Lol! I KNEW someone was going to say something like that! I thought it would be Sami the Psych-to-be though :P Sorry Sam :P~~
I think I've done something similar a long time ago but I don't recall what I've said anymore. :P
3baid: Remember! That doesn't count :P Sharing is caring...share your red-faced experience :P
u shouldve told them about the new student u talked about ...om 18 :P
thats funnier:)
I have a similar salfa!
Sitting in my God In The Movies class my sophomore year of college. My professor is giving a lecture -- there are about 30 students in the room. We're all gathered in a huge circle, and he's talking away. Meanwhile, I have a lighter in my pocket that I keep .. flicking? Is that what you do to a lighter? Anyway, I kept lighting it really quick, so you'd hear the metal sounds scraping. Over and over and over while the professor gave his lecture.
Finally, he stops mid-sentence, turns to me and says, "SheWrites, you really need to stop. The sound is distracting me."
Without missing a beat, I took out the lighter, lit it again and said, "But, sir, I can't help it! I'm a nymphomaniac!"
...
Yeeeah. Meant to say pyromaniac.
Enjoy! :D
(Needless to say, I was really popular among the guys that semester. Ha!)
N.
priceless :)
Lol, stuff like that happens :P The other day in the OT while a doctor was teaching us how to manuever our way around a mans "south area" one girl was having difficulty and I thoughtfully advised "just move the balls out of the way" not realizing that a more scientifically appropriate term exists, the same one you seem to be overusing ;P Story kind of reminds me of my late gramps (sniff), he used to go "testee" when trying to say tasty & I would be like "please never say that again in public" :P
Kila Ma6goog: Wallah ee funnier bes i9ara7a it's kind of sad that people are that low.
SheWrites: Okay, I was eating dried prunes and now a lot of the pieces are on my keyboard! Oh my God! Of all the things to say! But yeah I could've seen how nympho would be more accessible than pyro...no offense though...im just judging from my daily chats :P
Fouad: :)
7tenths: Lol! Both are adorable stories! And I'm sorry about your Grandpapa *pats back*
ha ha... it's crazy when things like that happen.. a couple of times has occured to me that I start speaking spanish to an American w/o realizing that they don't understand. I lough but they don't seem to find it that funny.
Echizera: Heh, yeah I can understand why you'd be the only one laughing in that situation. The opposite happens to me: whenever I'm in a densely hispanic location in the US (Miami, transiting at Dallas/Ft.Worth TX, etc) people talk to me in Spanish and when I tell'em 'No habla Espanol,' they get offended because I'm supposed to know my heritage. I'm from the other side of the globe!
kam again lav?
Temetwir: What? You sound spaced out...rephrase...
:/
"come again?" in a british accent
