"What a silly Bunt" - slip of the tongue
A BBC host got mixed up when talking about Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
Jim Naughtie managed to substitute the 'H' of his surname with a 'C' :O)
Most remember the gaffe by Jonathan Agnew when talking about Ian Botham getting out.. He said - "He just didn’t quite get his leg over"
So, have you ever commited such gaffes ???
Mr. Smoketoomuch: Yes, that's right. I saw your advert in the blassified ads.
Mr. Bounder: The what?
Mr. Smoketoomuch: In The Times Blassified Ads.
Mr. Bounder: Ah, The Times Classified Ads.
Mr. Smoketoomuch: Yes, that's right. I'm afraid I have a speech impediment. I can't pronounce the letter B.
Mr. Bounder: Uh, C.
Mr. Smoketoomuch: Yes, that's right, B. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a sboolboy. I was attacked by a Siamese bat.
Mr. Bounder: Uh, ah, a Siamese cat.
Mr. Smoketoomuch: No, a Siamese bat. They're more dangerous.
Mr. Bounder: Listen, can you say the letter K?
Mr. Smoketoomuch: Oh, yes. Khaki, kettle, Kipling, Khomeini, Kellog's Born Flakes.
Mr. Bounder: Well, why don't you say the letter K instead of the letter C?
Mr. Smoketoomuch: What, you mean, pronounce "blassified" with a K?
Mr. Bounder: Yes, absolutely!
Mr. Smoketoomuch: Klassified!
Mr. Bounder: Good!
Mr. Smoketoomuch: Oh, it's very good! I never thought of that before. What a silly bunt.

Ahhhh, reminds me of Cupid Stunt on the Beeb..
Only Hindi speakers will understand this..
Once I was presenting a paper in a Hindi language seminar in University on something related to Agriculture.
I had to repeatedly use words like "Khet Jutwaiye" "Khet Jotna", It sounded suspiciously similar to something offensive in Hindi whenever I used the word "Jot"..
Entire audience and I myself were laughing hysterically by the end and I barely managed to finish..
no,"my d*ck"..hahahaha...kidding,.
You did what? Called on Master Bates??? :-P LOL!!!
Theer was a case on the radio when they read out a letter signed by "Jenny Tailia".
You could tell the instant that he realised ...
PMSL...that's brilliant :-)
i did that,.& it was embarrasing..
This one time we had a fresher doing a paging announcement for a child with the surname Bates.
She goes, "May I have your kind attention please, this is a paging announcement for Master Bates...... " :-))
brit, I'm suffering from short term memory loss at the moment.. but I do stutter sometimes when I'm talking especially when I am nervous.. :P
Come on.. Have you never made such a mistake ?
he needs some serious tongue twister exercises.. :P
I remember someone wrote a letter to the Arab News regarding oral lessons in French and it was signed Dr. L Lovelace... Actually got printed :O)
When doing hospital radio, I used to get a lot of request from Mike Hunt (say it quick and it sounds like My *****)
Took me a while to figure out why others in the studio laughed every time I fell for it.

Remember the one about Julian Dicks having a good game?
"It's like there are eleven dicks on the pitch"
