Autocorrect fails!!

I'm feeling a bit poorly with a ski mess bug so looking for some cheering up.

Myself and DH are quite soppy and text a lot during the day and always say "I love you" he text earlier and said "I love you gigantically" I went to reply with "I love you ginormously" and my phone autocorrected it 'ginormously' to 'gonorrhoea' for some absurd reason, and I didn't realise until I'd sent it.

Have any of you made any funny/embarrassing autocorrect fails?

I see Murphy's law has struck again Grin.

There is a thread on here about venomous creatures one poster wrote they have Wi-Fi spiders in their country , I had no idea the spiders used / needed Wi-Fi. It turns out they ment brown widow spiders

I tend to speak my to my phone to get it to text or post in here so it comes up with all sorts of odd words or phrases.

I don't always check it befor I send them so I get a lot of WTF are you jabbering about msgs back.

My phone likes to correct all instances of "the future" to "the Fuhrer". This is particularly awful since I (and most of my friends/family) are Jewish. The worst was a text I sent to my new MIL after marrying DH, which said something like "looking forward to embracing the Fuhrer together as a family".
