I was traveling in Canada with a buddy who can be a bit obnixious, and he asked a local loudly, "How do we get to Mt. Ass-in-bone." He was tring to be funny pronouncing Assiniboine
When I was a teenager, I ordered Camembert cheese at a fancy restaurant in Switzerland. And, yes, I pronounced it, "Cam-em-BERT." *head bonk*
I think that I can top that, as my most memorable pronunciation gaffe took place when I was in my 20s. Crudités (cut-up raw vegetables to use with dips) were becoming popular at that time, and so in order to be...oh, so elegant...I served some to my dinner guests.
However, I pronounced them as Crew-Deets, and it was only later that I realized how foolish I must have sounded. Luckily, my guests apparently never knew the difference.
Not sure if I mentioned this, but I had a friend in high school who believed not only every word but proper names that ended with "s" required an apostrophe. She was filling out some kind of application that asked for her father's name, and she wrote Charle's . (meaning Charles)

A woman I know asked about selling plasma. This is a response she got:
____ said that they ( goverment) put tracking and biological bugs in the fluids they put back in you. As well as use the plasma they talk out in satan worship to feed the demons.

Whoopsy Doodles! I understand this.
Here's a post from a lady on facebook. There's a story about a young lady being prohibited from attending prom because the school claims her dress violates the dress code. Poke a dots!
Not a big fan of poke a dots, but the dress is ok if it was a different print and color.

Hmmm...Is the girl in question named...Dorothy?
Perhaps the school board thought her dress was so provocative that it might cause one of the boys to...poke Dot.
