I’ve seen Retards instead of Regards at the end of emails. Kinda changes the tone of everything before it.
I am highly regarded
🤣
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.
…did they order it?
Minus the semen, I’m sure
Could I get extra dressing?
Yes, but you’ll have to wait about ten minutes…
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.
This is a good reason to use Dvorak
Would probably just go crawl into a hole after that.
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.
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.
French speaker here: Began a message over Teams to a coworker with “Hey, salut!” and wrote “Hey, slut!” instead.
I have never edited a message so quickly in my life.
Oh, putain!
Messaged wife while on a trip in UA: “Spent the night in a little girl in basement”
“girl” and “hotel” are a remarkably similar swipe movement on an Android keyboard.
My wife called her friend fat instead of far (she lives far away)
A coworker once e-mailed about their adjusted shit (shift)
I’m constantly worried I’ll e-mail about outstanding bitches (batches)
A person was flirting with me and I meant to say “Go on.” but I typed “Goon.” and ruined it
You should have invited them to your goon cave
French word for typo is “coquille” because long ago some newspaper printed “couille” instead, which is slang for testicule.
Instead of what?
Instead of coquille
Turns out to be légèrement plus compliqué but the story is good. https://oparleur.fr/coquille
Not even a typo, but had a boss would would use “F U” as shorthand for “follow up.” Was always shocking to see emails saying “I will F U on Monday.”
That’s kinda hot
My family name is Carvalho (oak). I asked my then 8 years old son to sign his passport and he wrote “Caralho”. I’ll let you search that on Google with the safe search OFF.
When i was in primary school I was searching images of different types of pasta on the school computer for a project and accidentally typed ‘pene’ instead of ‘penne’
I dont think safe search was a thing at that time
"Warm Retards,
Xxxxx
I have typo’d hotfix as both hotdix and hotfux. One letter can change everything.
I had a co-worker whom I accidentally renamed to Cunthia in several large distro emails.
One time I copy pasted a horrific NSFW subreddit to my sister that I was making fun of the existence of to a friend just before. That count? It did not fit into the discussion we were having at all and she was horrified. I can’t remember the name of it now but it was like “fapcaves” or something where people literally post up pictures of their huge disgusting masterbation stations they make.
