Not a typo, but as a waiter I told a woman about our Cedar Seared Caesar Salad. Except I didn’t say Caesar, I said Semen.
Cedar Seared Semen Salad. Oof.
Edit: Just realized the tongue twister was actually worse. It was Cedar seared salmon, Caesar salad. Whoever chose that as a menu item was some sort of sadist.
I’ve seen Retards instead of Regards at the end of emails. Kinda changes the tone of everything before it.
In french, via SMS, to a girl I was flirting with as a teenager:
“T’es où?” (Where are you?) got auto-corrected to “T’es nu?” (Are you naked?).
I don’t remember what her response was, but I remember we didn’t end up dating.
This reminds me of my practice French oral exam at school, so not a typo but still:
As part of the conversation my teacher asked what sort of things I liked to read, and I decided to talk about a then popular technology magazine called T3.
“T trois” sounds rather like “Tais toi” (shut up), and she was a bit taken aback!
Thankfully though we learned not to use that in the real exam.
The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.
Fixed the link for you
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tamerragriffin/yahoo-finance-removed-navy-typo
That URL seems to get censored across instances because your link also just replaces the offending word with “removed” for me. Everyone else, if you see “removed” or something like that in the above link, just replace it with the offensive word this discussion is about; or just do a web search for yahoo finance tweet n word to find various articles about it.
A person was flirting with me and I meant to say “Go on.” but I typed “Goon.” and ruined it
