Don’t want to give away too much about myself, So I have a work client who just returned from a trip to Paris. We were chatting today and they were telling me all about it and mentioned how they tried foie gras for the first time. I replied with, “mmm dick lover!”. After a quick pause I blurted out, “DUCK LIVER! I MEANT DUCK LIVER!”. Fortunately I have a fairly decent relationship with this person and they laughed, but good god did I feel like falling into the earth for a minute

TL;DR: a work client told me they tried fois gras and I blurted out “DICK LOVER” when I meant to say “DUCK LIVER”
TIFU by calling my client a ‘dick lover’

This is so specific that it has to be real
How did dick instead of duck come out
this genuinely made me laugh out loud – i hope your client could see the humour in it as well hahah!
Were you trying to bait him into something?
For starters, foie gras isn’t even duck
My daughter was offered some stickers by the cashier at the grocery store checkout and my wife blurted out ” Ooo, sticky fissures!”
She meant to say “fishy stickers.”
Spoonerisms are fun.
Fois gras is an exceptionally inhumane way to simply eat food.
I’ll never eat it
I told one of my clients he wouldn’t be able to send his kid to college when I was done fixing his boat. He laughed. I laughed. Then the bill came due. He wasn’t laughing at that point
Well – we all have mental farts at times. I’ve had a few. My phone AI autocorrect turned a family greeting via text into a sexual comment. Things happen.
Yeah I know the feels.
I was texting a client and I meant to say Yes, Ma’am.
My phone corrected to Yes, Mama.
I died inside a little bit
I once nearly messaged an attractive co-worker “give me sex and I’ll take care of it” instead of “give me a sec and I’ll take care of it”. Things happen.
They had a very funny story to tell when they got back home
More like faux pas
Dick, Dick, Goose!
You didn’t say if you’re client is a woman or a gay/bi man but you might be right. Most everyone seems to be other than straight men. So truth is your defense.
I once emailed my my female client “congratulations on our baby!” instead of “congratulations on your baby!”. Still cringe to this day.
Isn’t it made from goose liver?
As a server at a Chinese restaurant I told a couple that we “stoke cock” instead of stock Coke.
