Sometimes, when I'm on the phone with a customer, my tongue gets ahead of me. Oh, who am I kidding. Sometimes my tongue just gets tied in a knot. Like the other day while my husband was driving and I started to say "Slow down!" but then quickly had to turn it into "Stop!" because of an animal darting into the road. Unfortunately, what I actually shouted, much to everyone's amusement, was "SLOP!!!!"
So the other day, I asked a customer if she was drawn to "slings and pouches". Only I didn't say that. What I actually asked her about was "Slouches". Then I cracked up. Oh poor woman. She didn't get the joke at first and it took me a sec to compose myself and explain.
