Wrong words.

I work in the box office at our local theatre. We're always getting people asking for things wrong. eg
The lady who said "I'm over 60 can I have a recession?"
We have a play called 'One night in November' which gets called 'A night to remember' are two things that spring to mind.Sometimes it's very hard to keep a straight face . So I wondered if anyone has any other misquotes etc.

This was on Chris Evans' show this morning.

Some lady was often quoted as saying she was "ravaging" when meaning hungry. I can't remember the others.

I find it difficult to say 'car park' - it comes out at 'par cark'

My mum gets the words 'allotment' and 'bungalow' mixed up - I don't know why. This causes some confusion as I spend a lot of time at the former, and she lives in the latter.

My gran used to complain about the condescension on her windows.

I used to call my grandmother's bungalow 'Ninny's Bumbalow' when I was a very little girl.

The daughter of a colleague of mine was overdue in giving birth. The colleague was telling everyone that if the labour didn't start by the following day the hospital was going to call her in to be 'seduced'. Nobody could stop laughing long enough to tell her the word was induced.

My friend was going to New Zealand for a long visit and was talking to the postman about it saying that they have a nice climax there.
It was only his puzzled look that alerted her that something was wrong

Mr TS was just talking about the actor Morgan Viggerson. I knew what he meant

I love the line in Secrets and Lies when Brenda Blethyn goes to a nice restaurant with her daughter and announces that she's 'ravishing.' Such a good film.

I've just been told not to worry about something on Faceache, because "it must be ok if Facebook have already vetoed it"

I saw that and smiled

I had a guy tell me he didn't pay prescription charges because he was "on an infidelity pension"......

.......now that would bankrupt the exchequer (I think)

Hi, I was on a training course from work last week and one of the modules was on communication.

One of the delegates on the course had to do a short talk on forms of non-verbal communication. Unfortunately he got body language mixed up with bodily function.

We got 5 minutes on communication by bodily function, how to interpret bodily functions and even the dangers of communication by bodily function !

ooops
