I was leading my first big presentation at work. Slide deck prepped, nerves in check, ready to impress leadership. I emailed the slides ahead to our team,nothing too wild, just a few notes per slide for the group to follow along.
One of the slides was supposed to say:
“Client data flow, confidential but organized.”
Thanks to my phone’s autocorrect and my rush to finish, I didn’t notice it changed to:
“Client data flow, confident but orgasmic.”
Let that sink in.
Nobody mentioned it before the meeting, probably assuming it was a joke or waiting for me to correct it. So during the call, I shared my screen, said “Here’s a breakdown of the client data flow,” and saw the phrase in full horror on the giant projector.
My manager just coughed. Someone else muted themselves, I assume to laugh. I died internally. I corrected it immediately, mumbling some excuse about autocorrect, but the damage was done.
TL;DR: Autocorrect changed “organized” to “orgasmic” in a work presentation. It went company-wide. I’ll never live it down.
