Question of the Day - Tuesday, January 16

[cassiopea]

Hello hello! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is doing well today




What’s your favourite euphemism for “I screwed up?”

"I've done goofed"
"Mistakes were made"

 

[Furballsmom]

I used to say "oopsie-daisy" but now it is just "oops"

 

[Jem]

It changes all the time depending on what pops into my head...most commonly it's just a string of random curse words.

 

[neely]

....most commonly it's just a string of random curse words.

Ditto!

 

[nurseangel]

Oh, sugar!

 

[neely]

Oh, sugar!

Is that short for another S word?

 

[catloverfromwayback]

My default is the sort of language we don't use on this site!

 

[iPappy]

"S" word, but I pronounce it like the vowel is a y. It makes things more interesting.

So that would be 'Shyt? A lot of people here pronounce it that way too.

I'm a bit of a 'whoops' girl.

Exactly
If I do something incredibly stupid in front of people, I usually just say "oops" in the most deadpan voice I can muster.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Ooops… or Aw man…

Not very interesting I guess.

 

[susanm9006]

Okay, this is odd and not sure where it came from but “Southern biscuits!” will pop out of my mouth.

 

[Furballsmom]

Lol, I like that

 

[denice]

I swear. I admit it.

 

[susanm9006]

Lol, I like that

It feels really satisfying when you drag out the “southern”.

 

[iPappy]

Is that like saying "well bless your heart" when you REALLY want to say something else?

I also like using Mistakes were made and also, things didn't go as planned.
