Getting confused with words!

[LMD84]

Have any of you guys ever forgotten a word or a meaning for a word? A couple of days ago I was talking about "on the spot rapping" with my work mates. To which the eventually asked me if I meant 'freestyling'? DOH!

I also used to say Pacific instead of specific which used to piss people off!

Don't make me be the only stoopid person on here.... share your mistakes too please!

"

lol! at least it's not just me then! and if you are spaking multiple languages I am not surprised you get muddled! lol!

Sometimes instead of saying holding I say "hording" or something along those lines. Sometimes an "r" hops into words with "l" haha

This happens to me all the time, particularly because Dom and I are usually living in two languages. We both get words mixed up... For ages, I kept getting the French words "Oreiller" and "Orignal" mixed up. The first means "pillow". The second means "moose". However, I do it just as often in English, where I really don't have an excuse...

LOL, it happens! I mean there's tons of words in our vocabulary that we don't use very often or at all each day and you just naturally forget. It usually happens with bigger words for me lol. But hey in this day and age there's google so you'll always be able to find out within a few seconds what something means lol.
