Have you ever said "Obama" when you mean "Osama" (or vice versa)?

1. No; I've never come close to making that mistake. nt

[Adelante]

2. I did once

To my great shame :blush:

[AlinPA]

3. Chris Matthews did it but it was totally on purpose. When he "corrected" it, the woman pundit

said "I know what you mean.." They are work hard at planting this in 'murcan's minds.

12. Amazingly, he actually did it again today, when talking about the same thing as when he did it

yesterday.

[Clovis Sangrail]

4. all the time

I also accidentally use 'pedophile' when I really mean 'politician'

[trackfan]

6. Are you a fan of Saki?

[Clovis Sangrail]

7. NEVER HEARD OF HIM!

that's my story and I'm sticking to it :P

[polmaven]

13. I only use

pedophile when I mean Republican hypocrite. They sound so much alike, y'know?

[Fleshdancer]

5. I usually say "Bin Laden" as opposed to Osama

So it's never a problem for me

[question everything]

8. No! And I tend to mix similar words often.. (nt)

[Kittycat]

9. No, but I accidentally said, Dick instead of Disk at a toy store yesterday,

in front of my 16yo sister. :rofl:

[kimmylavin]

10. No.

But unfortunately, I do catch myself about to make the mistake.
Thank goodness for my parents teaching me to pause and think before I speak!

[Wise Child]

11. I don't trust

the state of Alabama. We should move Gitmo there, with a name like that, it will improve detainee morale. After we impose martial law and a curfew. :sarcasm:


Let's see. Ba, Ba - back of the throat

Ssa, Sss, Sa-ah, Zee-ah - through the teeth.

These slips of the tongue by wingnut douchebags are more often than not, intentional.

[Bucky]

14. I once said "fuckwad" instead of "President Bush". Does that count?

[RichardRay]

15. I have a pretty serious speech impediment.

It's under control so I can speak without it showing up most of the time, but it does mean that I 'look' at what I'm about to say many words in advance to be certain that none of the upcoming words or phrases are ones that cause me trouble.

As a result, it was easy for me to add 'Osama' and 'Obama' to my sub-conscious list of possible problems and avoid the possibility entirely.

See, every cloud, etc., etc. :-)

[FloridaJudy]

16. Nope.

And I confuse words all the time. The other day I asked for a "cup of candy" - which considering some of the items on the Starbuck$ menu is not all that inaccurate.

Like others, when I want to refer to the Saudi terrorist, I say "Bin Laden". Difficult to confuse that.

[Douglas Carpenter]

17. never did that - never heard of it from supporters of Sen. Obama

[LostinVA]

18. Where's the "uh oh" choice???

[Blondiegrrl]

19. Never.

I have, however, accidentally said "dumbass" when I meant "President Bush."

[Kaylee]

20. I think I did once..

however, it was in a conversation involving them both....something about Obama pulling troops from Iraq to get Osama like we should have done in the first place. Never have I pulled "Osama" out of my ass, when talking about Obama.

[LiberalFighter]

21. Why the hell say Osama bin Laden when bin Laden is enough?

[TheDonkey]

22. No, but it could happen if you sling the words out a lot. I rarely chat about Osama Bin Laden

what gets me is when producers put up the wrong graphics, that seems fucking ridiculous. At that point they should KNOW what is happening and not just a slip of the tongue.
