On several of my work projects I have to work very closely with IT. For one project I came up with 2 options to solve a problem. I was indifferent on which option we went with since the end result would be the same. I was going over the options with the IT guy to get his opinion on what he preferred. He also had no preference and said "It's your baby I just execute it". Naturally my reaction was "You execute babies!"
I *just* got one. A group of my close friends and I have an ongoing group chat for life stuff. One texted that her 1 year old has issues with almost every muscle in his mouth and that's why he hasn't been eating well, gaining weight, talking, etc. but physical therapy should solve it. Our other friend wrote back and asked what kind of exercises they'd do to fix it and said "I'm picturing him walking around with balls in his mouth." I love how innocent she is.
I work at a medical device company and we have a monitor in the lobby with a repeating video about our products. I was walking by one day and saw the words deeper penetration on the screen and nearly dropped by laptop. Turns out they were describing a new ultrasound wand we released. But I mean come on Marketing department, you couldn't have come up with a better description???
My mom told me that my dad was trying to get off the coke, but while packing for a weekend trip she realized he just wasn't ready yet... ... since he had packed a few bottles of Coca-Cola in the cooler. Maybe he can detox after vacation!
(Background: Part of my job requires preparing graphics and technical drawings for use in presentations and meetings, sometimes mounting them on foam board.)

Not super recent, but a girl I used to work with-when trying to put a large ink cartridge in one of those big office printers: "it's so big, and I've never done this before, I'm kind of nervous"-meaning she didn't want to break the printer or get in all over herself. If it had been anyone else, I would have sworn she said it on purpose. She turned bright red when about 5 people turned around and shouted "that's what she said" Michael Scott style. It was awesome.
I was explaining to a client, who wanted to try styling his hair differently, if we didn't take enough length off the top he wouldn't be able to get it up. Yep, those were the words I chose, and some major blushing followed.
in breakroom today one women says to a male co-worker here eat it, mine was just like her's that you ate only her's has hair mine doesn't! It was about fruit a peach and something else he was mortified I just slowly ate my ravioli while staring at him wide eyed. fortunately I seen the first women give him some of her fruit.
We're a sports family, and every time the announcers say "penetration" (and it is surprisingly frequently!) DH & I giggle at each other like 12-year-olds. But this is my favorite misinterpretable interview clip!
YES! I get way too much satisfaction with "back to back sacks!"
@Wolkie -- I work in an oil refinery, for years I was the only female here; I too can go on for hours with some of the things that were said incorrectly...lol
One that I get reminded of at least once a month...we wear fire resistant clothing (jumpsuits) on a daily basis, well I was here on my off day with other guys from my shift for training and we were able to wear jeans and such. Well we were standing around on break when one of the supervisors at the time very casually says (in front of everyone) "wow Dana you look different with clothes on!" I was speechless...lol The entire crowd got quiet and just starred then started laughing uncontrollably! That was over 10 years ago, that supervisor no longer works here, yet I still hear about this incident very regularly!
While at the hospital yesterday my husband and I started talking about circumcisions. His mother pipes up and says "your already talking about that? Can't you wait a couple years?" After a few questions it became clear that she thought we were talking about vasectomies.
Re: Funny things said that could have another meaning.
FB told me earlier today "Nicki Minaj unleashes her 'Anaconda' today."
I assume it's a song, but it sounds SOOO wrong.
