We like to think of ourselves as an eloquent species. After all, we are fairly good at communicating. Unfortunately, there are also moments when we forget to human, and most of these moments donโt always come with the opportunity to redeem oneโs self. There are so many (hilarious and embarrassing) things that can happen because of lethologica or plain and simple mental block.
1) Elevator scenes belong in movies.
Thereโs nothing like hearing someone say they love you back. Even if it comes from a complete stranger. Who completely misunderstood. Oh, well. Itโs the thought that counts, right?
2) Cady Heron understands.
Itโs โgroolโ all over again. Only she didnโt get judged and Aaron Samuels found it adorable. If only this person were as lucky.
3) โTomaytoโ/โtomahtoโ 2.0
It does kind of sound like a fancy Italian dish โ something thatโs only available at the expensive restaurants. Whatever it is, Iโd like a generous serving, please.

4) Dadโs the word.
Not the cutest mistake but itโs still perfectly understandable. If only all kids were this grateful. And besides, who doesnโt love a family man?
5) Sometimes you just need to be held.
Life is tough. Whatโs wrong with wanting to be held? We smell a Freudian slip here.
6) Professor is probably concerned.
Perhaps this is solid proof that the workload in school has finally taken its toll? We can only hope Professor Allen was kind enough to inquire why. (And maybe make sure his student was okay?)
7) Why did that even come up, mom?
And number one on the list of โJust no, momโโฆ This must have been one hell of a conversation. Weโre still seriously wondering where this mistake stemmed from.
8) It does have a nice ring to it.
Water. Animals. On display. Hey, it could work. Weโll consider this.
9) โThe Leggo my eggo things.โ What?
Weโre as perplexed as you are. This could make for a funny game of Charades. Will & Grace would totally be up for the challenge.
10) Badassery.
This sounds so much better than plain olโ spoon and fork. And hey, if it makes you a better fighter, weโre up for it.
11) โNo.โ
Just no. Sometimes, you donโt even want to explain anymore. We can hear the sigh of exasperation from all the way here.
12) Yes, which word? Do enlighten us.
Imagine the effort that goes into trying to make sense of this. Or the many possible stories behind the sentence. Itโs all justโฆ so wrong.
13) Well? Do you?
Maybe he was just too parched. Extreme thirst does fog up the mind. Doesnโt it?
14) This could totally be a cute new concept.
Holiday Armadillo, move over. Itโs about time we added to the list of animals associated with Christmas anyway.
15) Sheโs not wrong.
Itโs not breakfast. Itโs not dinner. Itโs not brunch either. So, technicallyโฆ
16) A lot of bread? A ton of food? A bread basket? WHAT?
Cue Jeopardy music. This is honestly the type of description that could make anyone go hungry. I mean, bread, other types of food, and more bread? Yum.
17) Jerry is here.
It would honestly be so maddening if the receptionist didnโt understand. โWhat do you mean you donโt know which Jerry Iโm talking about?โ
18) โYou wanna talk about mothers.โ
When in doubt, go for a visual aid. We sure hope they were able to point her in the right direction. After trying to keep a straight face, that is.
19) Itโs like a box, but not really.
Language barriers can be difficult. So can mental blocks. And plain and simple forgetfulness.
20) Still doesnโt describe it, but okay.
Servers who patiently stand there and wait until you figure it out donโt get enough credit. This fabulous customer probably tipped him well after giving him reasons to think hard and laugh harder.
21) She meant baby, too.
The brain fart was just too much. We love how transparent you are with how you feel about kids. No worries, no offense taken.
22) Safe sex, but make it fashion.
Itโs all the rage in all the major cities. All the fashionable men are wearing it. I mean, really.
23) Just another one of those Halloween things.
You know, those three-colored things that make trick or treating worth it? If search engines had a habit of talking back: โCould you be more specific?โ
24) I donโt always like you, but I donโt hate you either.
This could be one of the most accurate definitions of friendship yet. Friendsโฆ Theyโre the people you can actually stand.
25) So if itโs a length measurer thingโฆ
Inventions are tricky. So is finding the perfect name. Exhibit A. If it can measure the distance or length from this end to that end, then it must be aโฆ
26) โShow me who your people areโฆโ
โโฆand I will tell you what you are.โ I say, confused. Terribly confused and completely relatable.
27) Is it a dinglehopper?
Donโt feel bad. This writer sure didnโt. And isnโt four stabby fingers such a mood sometimes?
28) This would be a great name for a song. Or a movie.
Wouldnโt it? It sounds like something out of a childrenโs book or a fantasy film. We can imagine the possible plots.
29) Cute, mom.
Unintentional mom jokes/puns should be a thing, too. Theyโd probably give cringe-worthy yet endearing dad jokes a run for their money.
30) Mortal Kombat should consider this. โFinishment!โ
โFinishment.โ It sort of has a nice ring to it. Like each week always has an epic ending waiting for you.
31) Is it a weapon? A ride at an amusement park? A game?
Sheโs brilliant but sheโs only human. This brain freeze moment gives us a classic case of โcharming and adorable without meaning to beโ. Egg torpedo also sounds like an item that belongs in the kidsโ menu.
32) Sh*t happens.
This person knew what she wanted to say. Unfortunately, it came out wrong. No pun intended.
33) You sure about that?
A little more convincing and perhaps weโll finally take your word for it. We are known for claiming to be good at saying thingsโฆ and proving ourselves wrong.
34) Sing it with me: โIโm a littleโฆโ
Youโve been hanging around preschoolers for too long. Also, A for effort on the charades move. Itโs a non-existent answer but hey, you tried.
35) There can only be one Arctic band.
Wife may have laughed but you have to admit, itโs not totally far-fetched, either. Icebergโฆ arcticโฆ you catch his drift.
36) This belongs on Sesame Street.
Isnโt it the kind of game you can visualize Elmo and Abby playing? Or the kind of thing Ernie and Bert would have a slightly maddening conversation about? We can totally see it.
37) Itโs a newfangled invention.
We love how the person who replied understood perfectly and gave a suggestion of her own. Itโs nice to come across people who just get you, isnโt it? Even when you donโt get yourself.
38) But is there really such a thing though?
This is the kind of brain fart that would totally get you thinking. Are man panties really a thing? Should they be? No? Okay.
39) Pupper? Sploot? Pupperino? Woofer?
But we totally get you. Oh, how things have changed! Hereโs a guide to make you feel better.
40) โDude, what does mine say?โ
If science has branches, so does broism. It pays to stand out. This is going to be one fun wedding entourage.
41) โOld MacDonald had aโฆโ
So what came up in the search results? It sounds like a funny-looking false idol from ancient times. You know, the kind people would offer plants and weird sacrifices to.
42) Who doesnโt love concise instructions?
Kids and grown-ups alike will appreciate this, thatโs for sure. It does capture the purpose of the object perfectly. Thatโs exactly what happens: noodles stay, water goes.
43) Was this in a Goosebumps book?
Yet another mistake that makes total sense to us all. What else would you call it, right? We love how blurting things out results in interesting yet comical labels.
44) Mom brain + too much Stephen King =
They do feel like prisoners sometimes. It does kind of give off that vibe. But then again, itโs only for a few hours a day.
45) They make a great team.
Get you a friend who would automatically send random words until you get close to remembering what it is exactly thatโs on your mind. We love the support.
46) Weโd like a word with your anatomy professor.
โThat thing.โ That isnโt a thing, you see. But weโre not here to judge.
47) This sounds way nicer.
Budget always sounded so dull anyway. And arenโt all of us technically on money diets now? Weโre all for this.
48) Pepรฉ Le Pew is hurt.
We feel bad for their widely misunderstood, always-made-fun-of defense mechanism. We feel even worse for this person who had to endure confused looks and possible judgment from his or her colleagues.
49) Now doesnโt that sound fancy?
Iโd like my coffee to go, please. And Iโll have one of those savory doughnuts, too.
50) We understand what youโre saying.
There really is no room for both. We totally get what youโre trying to say. And weโre having none of that. Cheers.
In a serious world brimming with perfectionists, critics, and grammar nazis, itโs refreshing to be around your kind. The non-judging, funny, only-human kind who would gamely laugh at you and with you because they, too, have been in your shoes and totally get what itโs like.
