Have you ever transposed words and came out sounding like a dork??

[Lachesis00]

Yesterday I was telling my friend "Uncle Hottie was kind of a cracker..." What I MEANT to say was Uncle Cracker is kinda a hottie (in the video "When the sun goes down" with Kenny Chesney).

OMG now she will not let me live it down. Sadly I do this a lot and do not even realize it until much later.

Don't fret, Rachel - I do it all the time. My family lovingly refers to my condition as "dyslexia of the mouth". And I have to agree!! It's my quirk.

I do this all the time...in fact, I think I say the "wrong" thing more often than I say the "right" thing!! haha!!

Thats funny, I've always called it "verbal dyslexia" and if they have a telethon for it, I will be its posterchild.

It is so comforting to know I'm not alone in this. I can look at something to make a comment about and something totally different comes out from what I was thinking.

Didn't really realize I had so much company - I was getting pretty self-concious about it.

I do this all the time. I like to think that my brain is working faster than my mouth.


One funning thing Dh told be about last week-- one of their sales rep sent an email to a client to let them know about something 'shipping'. Well, she mistypes and the p's are replaced by t's. The person replied saying they were offended by her email, she had no clue what they were talking about until she re-read it.

No, every thing I say is perfect...not!

I feel for politicians...even W, at times...imagine having reporters write down every word that comes out of your mouth...of course they'd catch EVERYONE saying something stupid or un-grammatical.

One day I insisted that "I don't eat with food in my mouth" (of course I meant to say I don't talk with food in my mouth)!

I must have argued over it for almost 5 minutes before they got me all calmed down, and made me say it real sloooowwww!! I felt so stupid!

 

[shatzjsl]

Not me. My impecible is English.

 

[KingsFanInRI]

Me English bad? That unpossible.

Heeheehee...I think everyone does it!

I had a boss once who,when we were all complaining about digging out from a snowstorm, complained about how "het and wevvy" the snow was (instead of wet and heavy). To this day I chuckle to myself when we get a het and wevvy snowstorm.

This morning on the radio, a local morning DJ was chatting about the young boy doing the "toin coss" at the Superbowl...her partner had fun with it and d apparently she does that all the time when talking about a coin toss. LOL

I do it all the time! The funniest instance, I guess, was when I was re-telling a funny story to a friend about a hilarious joke that I told someone and I accidentally said "It was so funny, I cracked my head off!" (A mix between "I cracked myself up" and "I laughed my head off"....a little embarassing!

 

[KimR]

I was complaining to another coworker about someone's penmanship one day and said 'I cannot write her reading!'.

 

[danacara]

How funny. We transpose letters sometimes. I still have my tee shirt from college basketball games, "Duck Fartmouth." It's a tasteless transposition but it makes me giggle.

 

[Allie322]

DH is infamous for this! His verbal issues usually involve pronouns. The latest one was, "Lionel Richie was never of fan of mine" instead of "I've never been a fan of Lionel Richie". Of course, I won't let it go and wouldn't you know, we were at a friend's house a few days after he said that and he came out with "Fred McMurray's never been a fan of mine". I nearly fell off my chair!

 

[Good Ol Gal]

OOh Stepharoonie!... I LOVE Hal Sparks!!

 

[JimB.]

Frankly, I don't NEED to transpose words/letters to sometimes sound like a dork.

I do QUITE well on my own, Thank you very much................

Oh my God. Something just like this happened in a local newspaper a couple of years back. There was a photo of a crossing guard who was sitting in a lawn chair talking with a boy standing beside him. The caption was something like: "Paul MacKenzie, crossing guard, talks with Adam Sunry while taking a break from his afternoon ****." Somebody left the 'f' out of shift. This was so funny. My friend made me a mixed cd and used this clipping on the cover.
