I'm not saying it happened here or that I know any of the parties involved (I might be able to say both of those things, but I'm not actually saying them).
In a meeting in an office somewhere in the lower 48 of these glorious United States, the following happened.
One man turned to one woman and meant to say:
Will you email Jane Doe?
But what he said instead was:
Will you fuck Jane Doe?
Silence in the conference room (because, oh yes, there were many witnesses).
The woman tried to help him out, saying, You mean you want me to tell her to fuck off?
He looked up, blankly, saw the faces around him, and said What? What did I ask you?
You said "Will you fuck Jane Doe?"
I did?
Yes.
Oh. Weird. I meant "email." [Shakes his head, shrugs, and moves on]
WHAT??? That's it? That's just a normal slip of the tongue? People transpose those two words all of the time in meetings??
Wow. Wow. Wow.
