    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.

    I’ve seen Retards instead of Regards at the end of emails. Kinda changes the tone of everything before it.

    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.

    The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.

    A person was flirting with me and I meant to say “Go on.” but I typed “Goon.” and ruined it

    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 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.

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

    Messaged wife while on a trip in UA: “Spent the night in a little girl in basement”

    “girl” and “hotel” are a remarkably similar swipe movement on an Android keyboard.

    My family name is Carvalho (oak). I asked my then 8 years old son to sign his passport and he wrote “Caralho”. I’ll let you search that on Google with the safe search OFF.

    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.”

    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.

    I had a co-worker whom I accidentally renamed to Cunthia in several large distro emails.
