Malapropisms...

[Pheebs]

Went to Sainsburys on Saturday as I fancied cooking up some kind of starter meal for Pickys Ma and Pa who we were staying with (originally I was going to do mains but everyone decided on getting a take out as we'd all be knacked from a long day... but I still wanted to cook something).

After much thought I figured a nice bit of squid would do... soak it in some lime and chilli flakes and flash fry it. Om nom nom nom.

So.

At the fish counter I try and spy some squideroos...

Me: "Ah ha! They have two squid tubes..."

Fish Dude: "Can I help?"

Me: "Yes please, may I have your two squid tubes?"

Picky: "Two? They're huge, surely we only need one?"

Me: "Ok ok... can we have one please... thank you"

Fish Dude: *leans over to pick up tube*

Me: "Oh yes, do you have their testicl..." *blank pause* "...tentacles too? OMG.. I'm so sorry.." *burys head into Pickys chest*

Fish Dude: *smiling and with holding a laugh* "No sorry Ma'am, we only have the tubes"

Dude Stood Next To Us: "BWAHAHahaha..." *walks off in hysterics*

Me: *bright red* "I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry!"


Doh.

Picky said he's never seen me go so red before I was uber embarrassed. I just... I realised I had said it incorrectly but didn't register for a moment how bad a mispronunciation I had made
