So; Today I am standing in line to get a meal at Little Caesar's when I realized that I was voicing my thoughts out loud to be heard by everyone.

"I eat too much Pizza." I said as I glanced at the cooloer full of sodas, "Probably because I work 18 hour sundays and pizza is easy and fast."
When it was my turn in line I walked up to the cashier and when I made eye contact said "Now THAT is something I DON'T eat enough of."
If I hadn't had claimed that I was suffering from Terrets I probably would have not gotten anything to eat there, or be here at work; she didn't take that comment to well. (prude)

I didn't realize until that precise moment that I was voicing my thoughts... anyone else prone to the occasional slip of the tongue; and when has it gotten you into trouble?

I thought this was going to be about something else entirely. I feel cheated. Buy me pizza.

With sausage, mushrooms and pepperoni.

Yes ma'am!

You should BOTH marry me! :D

I'm teaching a drama course and I've written a play for it to be performed this spring, one of the characters is a wolf, but sorta a humanized wolf so we were talking about his costuming. Somewhere in the midst of writing a full length play and everything else that's going on in life this winter my double-entendre filter broke. Which is to say I usually am able to NOT say things that could be taken sexually in front of tweens/teens by means of a filter in my brain........so I told this guy, he's 16, that I could make him a hairy dickey to wear.

Yeah, I know.

He was kind enough to pretend to ignore it.....turned beet red though. I apologized and explained how my brain is broken and he said "it's okay, I'm sure you meant something innocent".

It isn't a matter of prudery, it is a matter of your first thought upon seeing her being of her as a sexual object. That you voiced it was additional rudeness. She should have stabbed you, but I guess that is against Little Caeser's SOP.

Did not, I thought of her as a person, just one I would have liked to use as a sexual object.

I'm going to let you in on a secret: Telling a woman you've just "met" (and that's a stretch) that you'd like to perform oral sex on her is not any less sleazy, demeaning or disgusting than telling her you'd like to fuck her. I don't know why some men have this irrational idea, but it needs to go.

I talk to myself all the time. Often, but not always, privately.

I don't tend to have slips of the tongue so much as complete reality disconnect for a few moments. For instance, I'll ask a ridiculously obvious question despite knowing the answer. Other times I just reiterate exactly what I was typing word for word, even when there's no reason to.

The latter tends to make note taking during lecture a very interesting experience.

And its not something I intended to say, its what my brain was processing and my mouth said. It was not a conscious effert on my part, it was a slip. I was vocalizing my thoughts, I've been cooped up in the same damn building with nobody to talk to but myself all day long.

The comment I made in reply to Fiddlebottoms was meant as a joke... jeesh.

You start slipping up after a day of isolation? That's all it takes? :confused:

18 hours in the same place by myself after not sleeping for a good day or two, yes.

And here I thought this thread was going to be devoted to cunning linguists.

Jesus Christ, maybe I need slapped. I'm not going to reiterate what I read that as.. I'm finally going to get out of here, first thing I'm doing is going to bed...

It was supposed to be read like that.

More likely, she actually knew what Tourette syndrome was, and therefore knew you didn't have it.

two guys are sitting at a bar having a drink. One turns to the other and says, "I was at the airline counter the other day to book a flight to Pittsburgh and the woman at the counter had the biggest breasts you could imagine. I went up to her and said, 'I'd like a picket to Titsburgh please!'. Man, I was so embarrased! You ever get your words mixed up like that?"
The other guy replies, "yeah. This morning at breakfast instead of saying to my wife, 'pass the sugar, Honey' I said, 'you've ruined my life you bitch!'"

You eat Little Caesars?

Ew.

Familiarize yourself with it, I may have spelled it wrong in the OP but that doesn't mean I don't know what it is. There are several forms of it, one of which results in saying exactly what is going through your mind.

No I don't have it, but she didn't know me and I needed to diffuse an ackward situation.

Between you and Rhyadn you took all the fun out of my Freudian Slip.

...

Marry me?

Yes ma'am!

Can either of you cook? How are your housekeeping skills? Are you both willing to support me in a style to which I would like to become accustomed? If so, then yes.

The Hollywood version of Tourette syndrome just isn't accurate. Verbal tics are the rarest type, and when they do happen, they wouldn't be complete thoughts or even full sentences like you described.

All I have to say is keep it in your head next time, and you'll be fine.

I wanted to keep it in my head, exhaustion and social isolation had other ideas.

I'm not three. I've seen people that occasionally loudly and boldly announce everything they are thinking; the best way to describe it in lay man's terms is "A form of Tourette's".

This is not what the thread is about however, its about when you said something you had no intention of saying; a slip of the tongue, or a Freudian Slip. Not try to make the OP feel like a horrible person for unintentionally saying things. Either contribute something meaningful along those lines, or kindly leave the thread ok?

Then my day has been productive. :D

You dont expect this of the wise and noble Generalites? lol

When I was in secondary school I studied Latin under a rather ebullient middle-aged man called Mr Potter. He was always making jokes but somehow managed to be deathly boring at the same time.

One day, the class was in discussion about something or other when the door opens and one of the senior teachers enters and beckons Mr Potter to come with her to the hallway so they can talk about something.

I was miles away at this point caught up in my own thoughts (I am very easily distracted by my own mind. Not always daydreams.) but this jolted me slightly to reality where I said, quite loudly, in my best Snape voice:

"Come here, POTTER!"

There was a silence. Then I truly came back to reality.

Shit.

The worst case of tongue slip was a few months ago. I was translating something for my boss and I was thinking to myself just how boring and tedious it was to have to interpret for this sod. English isn't the difficult. He should put more effort on it and get his interviews by himself. I thought my thoughts were just mine, when I realized I ended up saying what I was thinking in English. The person I was interpreting from looked at me, then at my boss and burst out laughing. My boss smiled because he thought something funny was said. I looked at the guest and thanked him with my eyes because he never said a word about it. What's more, he nodded in complete understanding.:tongue:

I have said my thoughts out loud before, nothing embarrassing that I said it is just when you are talking to yourself about what brand of fabric softener I should buy and why, sometimes I have a little debate with myself. The only embarrassing about it is when people stop and stare at me and I notice that it has gone quiet, I usually go quiet myself after that and slink away.

Oh god, it happens all the time. I think the best one I've had was stating my outright hatred of Nelson Mandela in my African history class. I think you can probably piece that one together on your own.

Why did you apologize for that? That was GOLDEN.

Between you and Rhyadn you took all the fun out of my Freudian Slip. As if you didn't want someone out of their slip. :D

Why did you apologize for that? That was GOLDEN.
espeically if it was followed up with a "wanna have dinner later?"
