Foot in mouth

[goldopals]

I was teaching a science lesson about constellations and the conversation got to star signs. I opened my mouth in front of my year 9s and said, "How many of you are virgins." I meant to say Virgo and the room erupted in laughter.

Please tell me I am not the only one to say something stupid like this

Haha! Like the new boys Mike Hunt and Wayne Kerr

I once told my whole class to sit down and take their clothes off! Obviously I meant coats!

take their clothes off!

A girl at school when we were maybe 13 or so replied that the soil contained micro orgasms rather than micro organisms and even worse was when I was doing my law degree and talked about penile colonies rather than penal colonies - I think perhaps mine is worse!

I have so many examples I could share! The worst is probably when I was once reading to my lovely S4 class and I pronounced 'counting' without the 'o'. Not a single one noticed! I was pregnant at the time so I blame premature baby brain .

It wasn't quite a foot in mouth moment but the yr3 class I am in (121 LSA) were doing a lesson on using a dictionary & one kid on my table found the word vagina & tried to sound it out very loudly & ask me what it meant!!

I was mortified when I used the word orgasm instead on organisms. Just relieved it was completely lost on a class of 8 yr olds!

I have a friend who told the class to take their tops of, when he meant coats!

My group of year 3 boys were playing split word snap yesterday. The letter QU and IM were drawn. They very loudly announced there was no such word.

Not me but in a year 7 history lesson last year a girl put her hand up and said "Miss, who was this King Cunt?" After I'd picked my jaw up off the floor I realised that her textbook mentioned King Cnut.

I've had the "king Cunt" thing in lots of homeworks . DH was asked at an athletics session if he could "whip out the High Jump equipment" and he replied "I can whip out whatever you like" - fortunately it was to a 6th form boy not a 5th or 6th form girl!! but I think it made the Leavers Year Book that year
