My husband has a way of deliberately changing words one was a cyclamen which between us became a clitoris plant. He mentioned this to his friend who told his wife who thought it was funny. We were at a dinner one evening when his wife started talking about plants when we heard her say “ I have a lovely clitoris it’s a beautiful red colour” someone else jumped in with I love clematis as well. Phew.

Found it on YouTube

He's called Prince (perhaps the new No 10 cat is called after the talking dog!).

Ah that's a shame.
My grandson sent it to me.

Happy days.

Its unfortunate that sausages is quite a funny word anyway. --to people with a pathetic sense of humour, like me--

I just think of that talking dog who could say "sausages"

I used be so proud of my son Tim, he was so clever, particularly with his use of language. Until, the fateful day when he said very loudly "Mummy, there's a fat, old bald man at the door for you!!!grin

A deli near us sells pulled pork rolls and the owner always asks “do you want stuffing?” With a glint in his eye.

He wishes 🤣

I think Starmer was simply tired and lost concentration for a split second. I'm sure it's happened to many of us. It was just very unfortunate.

Wonder if some prankster removed hostages & replaced with sausages on the autocue? Hes head of our country FGS

I worked as a cover supervisor in a scholl for a few years. Occasionally I didn't have access to the online register and had to send round a sheet for every student to write their name on, then send to the office. There was usually at least one joker who would add a false name so I always counted the students and made sure I had the correct number of names on the list as the false names were usually 'extras'.
One of the most popular false names was 'Mike Hunt'. - say it quickly! Unfortunately some teenage boys never tired of this!

Even worse, I worked with a man many years ago called this!! Sadly he was a bit of one too 😱😱

I started laughing as soon as I read Friar Tuck.

I read in a book of gaffes, about a woman who was a receptionist at a place called 'Country Craftwork', and had to say it each time she answered the phone.

😂😂😂😂😂

I’m still giggling about it! Especially as we have mini sausages in our house xxx

I used to call
My besties Dad Friar Tuck due to his receding hair, once we’d all had too much cider and I transposed the first letters of this name!! Then, in trying to correct myself, I did it twice more xx
