On Channel 10′s The Project last night, the fabulous Carrie Bickmore had a little word fumble.
It was clearly an accident – but when referring to national airline Qantas, Carrie accidently used what is commonly believed to be the most-hated swear word of all time.
The video is hilarious. Take a look:
Carrie later tweeted an apology to Qantas (and her nan) saying “Any publicity is good publicity right??!! Sorry@qantasairways and my nan.”

My 8 year old daughter wanted some popcorn, and instead said “Daddy, can I have some cockporn?”. To which I replied “No…. never”….
My wife lost it…
loading...
I thought it was funny as, we all do it, a total accident!!! Carrie handled herself so well.

When I was about 18 I told my boss I was a ‘Swinger”. I actually meant ‘Swinging Voter’ – slightly different thing! hahaha

It was Charlie’s reaction/comment that had me giggling. I wonder how long he has waited to use that line?
loading...
90% of these slip ups are happening to teachers or at least in school! What’s THAT about!? ha ha

I worked with a Scottish lady who when she asked, ” Kin aye have a fork an’ knife ” sounded like she was rudely asking for just a knife.
loading...
I worked with an Irish guy who was actually swearing but it just sounded like he was talking about cutlery…
What the fork…

My mum once called a hairdresser and asked “how much for a cut and a blow job?”…
loading...
too funny!

Omg. I missed this last night but it is the stories and comments that have me literally crying with laughter. Reminds me of the school captain at an end of year assembly thanking “Mrs Knickers” to the huge amusement of the audience.
We’re all juvenile somewhere…and not always deep down!

Years ago, whilst relieving the switchboard at a law office, if a solicitor was on the telephone I would say, ‘He’s on the phone. Can his secretary help you?’ Well, yep. One day I said, ‘He’s on his secretary. Can the phone help you?’ I just groaned (before the word d’oh was n the vernacular!), and luckily the caller thought it was hilarious.

I was teaching my maths class how to multiply fractions and kept referring to the dominator. They asked me if I’d been reading too much 50 shades of grey.
Same lesson said probabilty of sex instead of probabilty of success.
Only three more weeks of term left. Hope I make it.

My teacher in primary school was playing her guitar with students at assembly for the national anthem and she started playing and had a little fumble with the strings and said, ‘oops sorry my g-string slipped!’
She was quite embarrassed but the teachers and students were in hysterics!

Just yesterday to my class of grade 5&6s we were talking about using technology at home and parents restricting things and I said “when I was younger my parents never let us play playstation and playboy” my kids just looked at me and one said “didnt you mean gameboy miss”
They were literally ‘rofling’…I could only laugh!

Many years ago, as a coordinator for a vacation care service, I drew up an activity schedule for the holidays. Some of the days we weren’t open due to a public holiday, so what did I write down on the big timetable at the front door, with photocopies distributed home?
‘Pubic Holiday’.

Very funny, but I do find Carrie’s continuous laughing extremely irritating. She is constantly giggling at things – mostly things that she says herself. She’s the reason I don’t watch The Project anymore.
loading...
At least she’s having fun and enjoying her job. We should all be so lucky

At a recent school assembly a lovely Year 7 girl told everyone about ‘the upcoming fucktion (blushes furiously)…I mean fucktion…ummm, I mean event!
And I submitted an assignment where spellcheck had conveniently realised I had interspersed ‘organism’ with ‘orgasm’ and changed the lot to ‘orgasm’ for me. Took a long time to live that one down.
And I thought that pronunciation of Qantas was used by most passengers whenever a flight is cancelled?? Friend of mine is Qantas staff and I’ve heard him use it before!
loading...
I love every single thing about that woman!
How embarrassing though!! I would have DIED and run off camera…….ah, hence why I’m not on live tv….
loading...
Love the show!!!
Love Carrie!!!
I couldn’t breath when I saw the slip up!!!!!
So funny!!!!
loading...
I love Carrie!
loading...
in tutoring chemistry to 1st year Science students I used the word “orgasmic” instead of “organic”… lots of silence and then laughter
loading...
Our science teacher in year 12 used to remind us ‘dont forget the NI in organism’ …

My hubby was doing a charity auction. While auctioning passes to a children’s play centre called “Crazy Critters” he called out, “Who wants to get into Crazy Clitters?” the whole room of about 200 went silent for a few seconds before erupting with laughter! He nearly died!!!
loading...
I saw this and it was absolutely hilarious. I thought I had just misheard until my Husband practically spat his food across the room – LOL. Carrie is just fab and handled it so well…I love the Project!
loading...
How can we find out what dress Carrie is wearing?

I was once supervising a year 11 biology class (not my subject area). As I was revising their chapter questions I came across a word I didn’t know how to pronounce. I said, “Do you say this lit-or-al or lit-er-al?” I heard a student mutter a response up the back to which I replied sarcastically, “Very funny, sound like clitoral. I get it.”. All the students looked at me like stunned mullets, as the muttering student said, “um, I just said it was pronounced lit-or-al.”
My response, “Sorry my mistake.”

Ah……but had it been Dave’s slip of the tongue !
Different headline. Not quite as funny ?
loading...
Calm down Bradley it’s not all man-hating – Dave is hilarious and I’m sure the outcome would have been the same.
loading...
Give me a break!!!!!!
loading...
Oh, Vannessa !!!!
loading...
You are being SO provoking today!
loading...
Provocative, I believe.
loading...
oh ffs. It would have been even funnier if he said it, he’s hilarious!
loading...
hahaha. That was funny. I said a similar thing once to my boss. He told me he has just got a new puppy, a Labradoodle, I replied to him, does it have the head of a Labrador and the body of a doodle (instead of poodle)? as i was driving away it clicked what i had said to him and was mortified, when I got home I asked my husband ‘ honey do you think most people would know what a doodle is, or is it a word you just use?’ his response was of course 95% of people would know….
loading...
Ha ha sort of off topic but related to your comment:
I have a distinct memory of a male teacher in upper Primary School reading out the instructions for a work sheet. One of the instructions began with “use your doodles to create…” The teacher paused and looked up at the class and said “Boys, best use your pencils for that one!”
loading...
Er, isn’t “a doodle” a thing (sorry) produced by “doodling?”
As in doodling on a bit of paper while you’re on the phone etc.
In which case the teacher was perfectly correct, instructing students to use their doodles to create whatever shape it suggests…
Oh, sh!t, I’m getting myself in deeper here.
I’ll just stop now.
loading...
Yes he was making a joke!
loading...
I had a career ed teacher once refer to you Year 12 Tee ‘wanking’ instead of ranking …
A room full of 16 years old was not a good audience to handle this slip! Poor Mr McGill…
loading...
I had to announce the principal at our Easter hat parade assembly in primary school when I was 8 and was nervous so said ” And now Ms X will undress the assembly !” instead of “address ” cue laughter and I had no idea why ;p she said “Welcome and everyone keep their clothes on!”
loading...
I have a distinct memory of the same thing!! You didn’t go to Fairview Primary did you … that’s so funny, I was even wondering if I said it myself the memory is so clear but now I think it was someone else!
loading...
I once made a similar mistake teaching a class of adults. I mixed up the words front counter….. Luckily every one saw it for the word fumble it was!
loading...
Very funny. She and the others handled it well. I haven’t seen that show much but I think they are a good bunch of people. I was so surprised to learn how young Carrie is!
loading...
Carrie is just gorgeous, ha ha!
loading...
Luv it !!!
loading...
It was very funny and they all reacted just perfectly. I don’t think anyone could have got offended by Carrie was clearly mortified.
Reminded me of the time our incoming school captain wished the outgoing school captain “much happiness and sex” instead of “much happiness and success” in front of the entire assembly, school board, gathered dignitaries etc.
loading...
That’s hilarious! Even more hilarious if it was said at Catholic Ladies College…
loading...
Not Catholic – Anglican. The Reverend was sitting directly behind her next to the principal!
loading...
*laughs* Your story reminds me of a time I was a high-school music teacher (my name was Ms Stone) and our new Deputy principal stepped up to the microphone at his first assembly and said:
“I would like to hand the mic over to Ms Stoner now…”.
In the 500-strong crowd of high schoolers, you could have heard a pin drop…for all of 5 seconds. Apparently what was going through his head at the time was “Don’t say stoner…don’t say stoner….”. Epic fail. LOL
loading...
GOLD!
loading...
I love Carrie.
loading...
Whoops! Hahaha. Poor Carrie, I hope no one makes a complaint.
loading...
That would be un-Australian!
