    Not a typo, but as a waiter I told a woman about our Cedar Seared Caesar Salad. Except I didn’t say Caesar, I said Semen.

    Cedar Seared Semen Salad. Oof.

    Edit: Just realized the tongue twister was actually worse. It was Cedar seared salmon, Caesar salad. Whoever chose that as a menu item was some sort of sadist.

    In french, via SMS, to a girl I was flirting with as a teenager:

    “T’es où?” (Where are you?) got auto-corrected to “T’es nu?” (Are you naked?).

    I don’t remember what her response was, but I remember we didn’t end up dating.

      This reminds me of my practice French oral exam at school, so not a typo but still:

      As part of the conversation my teacher asked what sort of things I liked to read, and I decided to talk about a then popular technology magazine called T3.

      “T trois” sounds rather like “Tais toi” (shut up), and she was a bit taken aback!

      Thankfully though we learned not to use that in the real exam.

    French speaker here: Began a message over Teams to a coworker with “Hey, salut!” and wrote “Hey, slut!” instead.

    I have never edited a message so quickly in my life.

    My wife called her friend fat instead of far (she lives far away)

    A coworker once e-mailed about their adjusted shit (shift)

    I’m constantly worried I’ll e-mail about outstanding bitches (batches)

    French word for typo is “coquille” because long ago some newspaper printed “couille” instead, which is slang for testicule.

    Not even a typo, but had a boss would would use “F U” as shorthand for “follow up.” Was always shocking to see emails saying “I will F U on Monday.”

    I bought a rotisserie chicken and was going to use the meat. Texted a friend that I was “boning a chicken.”

    Deboning is a word. I swear.

    One time I copy pasted a horrific NSFW subreddit to my sister that I was making fun of the existence of to a friend just before. That count? It did not fit into the discussion we were having at all and she was horrified. I can’t remember the name of it now but it was like “fapcaves” or something where people literally post up pictures of their huge disgusting masterbation stations they make.
