You also remember those damned mistakes and I remember my biggest as if it was yesterday... I had just learnt the word Dingsbums as meaning thingamajig and during a presentation was proud as punch that I could bring in this word and in the plural to boot. Only the 50 or so listening were either not amused or rolling on the floor. I did not have a clue why till the apero afterwards...
so what did you actuallly say without meaning to??
