Once during a popular music/variety show, my grandmother (who would not even say pregnant if men or children were present) said the audience gave the performers a standing ovulatuion!

My daughter seriously informed me her father had a problem with his "tentacles". How do you not laugh? Then she is confused because it is serious.

When I was 3 or 4 years old my mother used to enjoy my being served in the butcher shop buying the femle bacon. Couldn't figure out why the people kept smiling or laughing whenever I placed an order?

When my cousin was about 18 she said she had a pain in the middle of her chest and went to the doctor. When she came out we asked what was wrong. She said the doctor told her she had bruised her scrotum. :wah: Interesting...I guess I didn't know we woman had scrotums! She's a nurse now, I'm assuming she's figured it all out by now.
The boss came in 2 days ago and told us his son watched his friend in Gymnastics and said she was very flexative hehehehehe
I dunno could be a good word I like how it rolls off the tongue.

What about when you forget the word right in the middle of a conversation? Argh!!
We have some new commercials at work, so they put a tv in the lobby, and played them for anyone who wandered by. They had a woman sword-fighting, and someone asked me if she was the Olympic Champion. (Like I'd know?)
Anyway, I reported this in our staff meeting as my comic relief effort. But I couldn't remember what sword fighting was called. So I stumbled around for some time saying: "the sword thingy Olympic champion...what's it called? the swording thing?"
Everyone was laughing, including me...and the word is fencing. I doubt I will forget it again! :wah:

;)
Now, fencing, there's a word. Sport, or around the yard, or stolen
objects!!
I had a neighbor with a (delightful) teenage boy, who she told me had
been released from jail on his own "reconnaissance"!!

or did it just sort of enter the language that way by default?
Sometimes if things get used enough, I think people just don't think
about them any more...
