I'm admin on an FB forum for PTAs. Someone has just commented on a thread about Santa's Grottos, apparently they're going to decorate theirs with "snowflake netting across the windows, a blow up father christmas and tree on the outside, oh and not forgetting the snow top foof"

I laughed so hard. What's the best typo you've ever seen/done? I did confuse lick and kick once in a dirty text...... could have been a bit ouchy.....

I once drove past a sign on a haberdashery shop in fancy font saying Anal Douch, which I thought was odd. However I drove back around to take another look and realised it said Final Touches!
I'll find the picture

Typing up a document, part of which referred to an area of uncultivated land, I put 'uncultured'. Fortunately it was only at draft stage, which prompted my boss to suggest that it clearly didn't know its Wagner from its Puccini Grin

I sent out an invite out to some friends on facebook as a group message and instead of 'drinks and nibbles', I typed 'drinks and nipples'.
Didn't notice, even with all the boob jokes, my friends were making. Showed my husband in the evening saying everyone is being really strange - he pointed it out!
Someone turned up to the party with a cake in the shape of a breast with nipple! Grin

A friend texted her husband 'saw owl on way home!' (They loved wildlife.) Only it actually read 'say owl on way home!' and he drove back saying 'owl, owl' wondering why!!!

Wasn't there a MNer who, some years ago now, sent a text about Couscous as part of their dinner which somehow became 'anus anus' - but her text was to her DH's male colleague (and their mutual friend) who they had invited round for dinner that evening?!

I suppose it could have been one of those silly threads though ...

At a conference last week and was using my phone to send emails back and forward to the office. Instead of typing 'security deposit' my auto correct changed it to 'sexual deposit'. This went to 3 people Grin

I've just had the weirdest reaction to this thread. I've been laughing so much at some of the posts, full on body shakes, hands clasped to my mouth trying to stifle the laughter even though I'm home alone. When I got to the one about the husband saying owl, owl on his way home and anus anus instead of cous cous it just finished me off. I was roaring! Couldn't even open my eyes, shoulders shaking, and then I ...........burst in to tears! I mean I had tears rolling down my face anyway from laughing so hard but then I just started sobbing. I'm not sad in any way, it was just a weird physical reaction I think to maybe trying to hold the laughter in and letting it out eventually. Really odd. I've calmed down now. I used to read Damn You Autocorrect but stopped as I'd be in agony from laughing. What a plum I am 😂😂😂

Not a typo but I was telling someone about sending an email with an attachment and it may go into the junk mail folder. I did sometimes say spam folder...apparently this time I called it the 'spunk' mail folder!! Blush

What was it supposed to be? 'Impotent' seems like a reasonable word to spell...

I think it should have been 'important', they were only about 8! I did wonder at the time what was going through his head!

The first few emails to my builder, Stan, were autocorrected to 'Dear Satan'.

I also produced an advert for a 'Greatest Tits' album instead of greatest hits. Whoops.

tears I get like that with autocorrect fails too, I don’t know why I just find they reduce me to some weird physical laughter that I don’t get with anything else!

Dh always knows if I’m on DYAC by my odd reaction!

DS sent a text from work asking what was for tea. I replied 'children casserole'. He responded with 'I think I'll get pizza or something instead'.

Is snapped and farted on this thread?

No, ethelfleda. The OP of the original 'snapped and farted' thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/a3277729-Embarrassed-by-boyfriend#78649271 appears to have meant it. She snapped at her boyfriend when he embarrassed her but she farted at the same time because she's got IBS. There's a probability the entire thread was a wind-up anyway ... I didn't post or follow it, so I don't know.
