{{Accidental Innuendo}}s in RealLife.
----

* The hardware of the Platform/AtariJaguar combined with the CD add-on made the system end up looking like a toilet. Considering the console's drawbacks, it wasn't far off.
* There's an online shop based in China that primarily sells clothing and electronics. Its name? Banggood.
* Puns have been endemic to [[http://www.holytaco.com/12-unintentionally-funny-sports-headlines/ Bartolo Colon's]] [[http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/2011/05/12/today-in-sophomoric-humor-headlines-about-colon-operation-bartolo-colon/ career]].
* Blog/CakeWrecks has a "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Do You See What I See?]]" category precisely for unintentionally sexual and/or fecal-looking cakes.
* When Creator/WaltDisney was making sure the ''Ride/CarouselOfProgress'' was ready for its premiere at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, Alice Davis ([[UsefulNotes/DisneysNineOldMen Marc Davis' wife]]) was doing the costume work while simultaneously running the rotating theater. However, while putting the pants on the animatronic "John/Father". Alice was on her hands and knees near the animatronic's lap, trying to reach behind it snap the pants closed behind it. However, she was unaware that the curtain had opened up at that exact moment. This resulted in Alice hearing Walt roaring in the audience, since it looked like she was performing a very adult act while John/Father exclaimed "Very hot for July!". Completely embarrassed, she ran off stage, but Walt later reassured her by telling her "That was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a while!". [[https://podcasts.jimhillmedia.com/show/fine-tooning/fine-tooning-with-drew-taylor-episode-196-remembering-alice-estes-davis-1929-2022/ Alice Davis would occasionally tell this amusing story]] to a handful of the folks at Creator/{{Disney}} in the later years of her life.
* The US Government's new job plan being referred to as 'Cash for Caulkers'. Say it aloud, or watch [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-december-9-2009/the-most-immature-montage-ever---cash-for-caulkers make it painfully obvious.]]
* This post from the website "[[CaughtUpInTheRapture Rapture]] Ready": "[[http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=105257 I don't want to be lukewarm! How do I become hot for God?]]" (A large proportion of the posts on Rapture Ready consist of accidental innuendo. They never notice.)
** A tradition that [[OlderThanPrint goes back]] at least to Hildegard von Bingen, whose encounters with Jesus sometimes read more like an encounter with a vibrator.
* One Australian corporation, based around the Coffs Harbour Ex-Services Club, has adopted the name "the CEX group". And lo, there was much sniggering.
** There's also a second-hand electronic entertainment retail chain in the UK called [=CeX=]. Which often have ''bright-red'' shop fronts.
* There was a Chinese restaurant in Franklin, Tennessee called China Wang (pronounced Wong). However, they've since changed their name. Perhaps they caught up on it.
* If you're ever in a stage crew or some other thing involving a lot of building, you will see this. Especially in middle and high school crews. This is mainly due to how often the words screw, drill, and hole are used.
* Do a search on Website/YouTube for "Gym Idiots" or "Gym Fails", and many videos will contain people's attempt of workouts which often result in some rather funny poses and/or movements.
* The Columbus Blue Jackets revealed a new, secondary team mascot along with their new third jerseys in November 2010. The mascot, Boomer (a person in an inflatable suit shaped like a cannon), was intended to be geared toward younger fans, specifically early elementary age, 8 and younger. [[https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2010/11/29/1843400/columbus-blue-jackets-mascot-boomer-cannon Unfortunately, nobody in the Jackets' marketing department could see how this would be a problem.]] It might've helped if they'd considered focus group testing that went beyond just the 8-and-under crowd. It also doesn't help that Boomer is a tie-in with the club's third jersey - which the team opted not to wear for its scheduled fifth appearance, after losing their first four games in them, even leading to the team taking the third-jersey schedule off their website.[[note]]NHL players are very, ''very'' superstitious.[[/note]]
* This has been making the rounds for a (long) while, but the town of Cumming, Georgia has a Cumming First United Methodist Church. Their website was originally located at [[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cummingfirst.com www.cummingfirst.com]] (and included a subpage describing their organ), until they realized that the Internet is an utterly merciless place. Subsequently it moved to www.cummingfirstmethodist.com, and it would appear that it is now in the midst of a move to the (finally relatively innuendo-free) www.cfumcga.com. Unfortunately, another church in the same town is known as "First Baptist Cumming". Lagrange, NY had an elementary school named after it.
* The mineral Cummingtonite is actually named after a town in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. There's also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsole Arsole]]. The name is related to arsenic. ([[Website/{{Wikipedia}} That Other Wiki]] notes that some find the name "silly" in a disapproving settle-down-class manner.)
** Then again, That Other Wiki also has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_compounds_with_unusual_names#Sounding_like_vulgarisms a list]] of chemicals with these kinds of names. NotSoAboveItAll?
* There was a professional engineering company that plastered its name on massive signs around southern Ontario: "Cumming Cockburn". They've thankfully (or sadly) rebranded as the IBI Group.
* Canadian musician Bruce Cockburn (pronounced "Co-burn") attracts some snickers, especially for the song "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" .
* Australian UsefulNotes/RugbyUnion player Digby Ioane's comment about English players caused some giggles:
-->'''Ioane:''' They are pretty wingers, they are really good looking and I just can't wait to go against them.
* "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." [[http://darwinawards.com/stupid/stupid2000-05.html The Darwin Awards demonstrate that testing this is a bad move.]]
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria Fucking]] (pronounced "Fooking"), a small village in Austria mostly famous for having its road signs commonly stolen as souvenirs. Eventually the villagers, fed up with this, changed the town's name to "Fugging".
* Georgia O Keefe's flower paintings. Though the flowers are essentially plant sex organs (or contain them at least), so it isn't innuendo at all...they are paintings of genitalia.
* The English nursery rhyme "I Love Little Pussy" has [[HaveAGayOldTime become rather controversial in modern times]]. (It actually ends with "Pussy and I very gently will play.") The same goes for the nursery rhyme that starts, "Ding dong dell/The pussy's in the well..."
* The vanity licence plate "ILVTOFU" was [[http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_12093995 turned down by a local DMV.]] It was a vegan's expression for liking tofu.
* The German TV news anchorman Jens Riewa had a problem with a Teleprompter. Because of that, during broadcast, he pushed a button on the underside on his desk. For the viewers, it looked like he was touching his crotch. Afterwards, he explained "I experienced trouble with my .... [[UnusualEuphemism device]]". The clip of this scene became quite popular after it was picked up by a comedian, because of its accidental innuendo.
* Similarly, the anchors on the Australian Today show [[https://youtu.be/A_fMN9kFm14 discuss what they use for home defense]] after one brings up the "[[BuffySpeak long, stabby thing]]" he keeps next to his bed. Cue one of the women stating that her ''husband'' is her "[[GagPenis long, stabby thing]]" without ever realizing she ran afoul of this trope. The other male anchor mentions that he dislikes the idea of stabbing an intruder, stating that he'd "prefer whackin' 'em off from a distance" - [[ThatCameOutWrong though he immediately realized his mistake]].
* [[http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/21/biden-on-cheerleaders-the-stuff-they-do-on-hard-wood-it-blows-my-mind/ Joe Biden on cheerleaders.]] Look at that line again.
* Creator/JudyBlume's Literature/{{Fudge}} Box Set.
* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140729195833/http://www.vh1.com/celebrity/bwe/images/2010/05/Shrek-Mint-Ogre-Load.jpg This billboard]] advertising UsefulNotes/McDonalds' Franchise/{{Shrek}} themed [=McFlurries=].
* From the New York Times dining section: "The Domaine de Chevalier 2007, still in oak barrels, trumpets its presence with an explosive burst of pure sauvignon blanc fruit and a beautifully opaque texture that invites repeated sips in an effort to penetrate the wine's mystery. The 2006, not yet bottled, is rounder and less flamboyant..." ''[[http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/081111 Trumpets its presence with an explosive burst]]''? ''Invites repeated sips in an effort to '''penetrate''' its mystery''? Is this wine having an orgasm or something?
* Several anecdotes on Website/NotAlwaysRight see people wander into this: "[[http://notalwaysright.com/step-1-insert-foot-into-mouth/2250 It was a pretty big rack]]."
* One of the desserts at Outback Steakhouse, an ice cream-covered brownie, is called "Chocolate Thunder from Down Under".
* Pitching great Randy Johnson, whose name is ''Randy Johnson''. Even better, his nickname is "The Big Unit". One wonders if he wears his PornStache ironically.
** It's not as bad as Melvin Upton Jr., who is more famously known as BJ [[note]]It stands for Bossman Junior. His dad is referred to as Bossman[[/note]] but has been making efforts to move back to his given name.
* The Shake Weight. ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' picked up on this one with a vengeance.
** This requires [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHUdvvHTkw visuals]]. How any of those women did that with a straight face....
** Done [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbsSeVr5NSI even worse]] for the Men.
--> "Oh, that's it"
* Shout Color Catcher slogan: "The [[VirginPower Proof]] is on the Sheet."
* UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}} has a streetcar that was once called [[FunWithAcronyms South Lake Union Transit]], but was then renamed. That has not deterred locals from making jokes about "riding it."
* [[http://www.smmoving.com/ S&M Moving Systems]].
** There's also a Chinese knockoff of M&M's candy called S&M's.
* Sir Radio/TerryWogan exemplified this trope -- well, it was really Mick Sturbs (the author of the "Janet and John" stories) and many of his listeners who contributed in interesting letters who did, but Wogan encouraged it all. Every little bit of that survived his move from daily breakfast radio on Creator/{{BBC}} Radio 2, to what became his last radio work before his death, a weeky live show on Sunday afternoons.
* One of the most successful brands of condoms is "Trojan". Now, you wouldn't expect a condom to have ''unintentionally'' dirty implications, but.... [[TrojanHorse what the Trojans are most famous for]] was accepting into their [[VirginPower impregnable fortress]] something that seemed harmless, which then proceeded to release hundreds of enemy agents. (The last part being particularly [[{{Irony}} ironic]] considering the whole point of a condom is to ''prevent'' the user's "agents" from getting inside the person.)
** Imagine that a high school needed a mascot, and settled on the Trojans. The yearbook and several other features were later changed to Troyan, whatever that's supposed to be. The teams' names stayed, though, and students are well aware of it. One year's school sweatshirt read "Now 99.7% effective."
** Now imagine a different high school, whose mascot is also the "Trojans", unedited. The swim team's shirts say "Nothing swims past a Trojan."
** Topeka, Kansas has "Seaman High School", which fits this trope well enough on its own, but was made better whenever their sports teams played Topeka High, who had the Trojans as their mascot. There is [[DoubleEntendre nothing accidental]] about the newspaper headlines that read "Seaman breaks through Trojan defenses" or "Trojans contain Seaman." Similarly dirty headlines can be constructed whenever the University of South Carolina (the Gamecocks, or Cocks for short) plays against either Troy or the University of Southern California, both of whom have the Trojans as their mascot. No doubt the subeditors have a field day if they ever meet the Oregon State Beavers.
*** This is probably why the Southern Cal women's basketball team prefers to be called the "Women of Troy", though they're missing out on a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trojan_Women literary reference]].
*** The best part? This is the City that the ''Westboro Baptists'' live in.
* Uranus gets it bad enough to [[UranusIsShowing rate its own trope page]].
* There is a UsefulNotes/WashingtonMetro station called "Ballston." "Foggy Bottom" also tends to make out-of-towners smirk.[[note]]Washingtonians are inured to the innuendo by its more powerful association with the State Department; its headquarters are a 10-minute walk away, and State is often metonymically called "Foggy Bottom" in DC circles.[[/note]]
* The major chain store Woolworths released a line of little girls' bedroom furniture entitled "Literature/{{Lolita}}". Not for long, though. If it had been anything other than a ''bedroom'' set they might have got away with it.
* Creator/{{Nintendo}} of America CEO Reggie Fils-Amie's infamous and [[MemeticMutation memetic]] line during a demo of ''VideoGame/WiiFit'' at E3 2007: "My Body is Ready."
* During the E3 2013 presentation for the Platform/XboxOne, a male gamer was playing ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' against a female gamer. When it was apparent that she was on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle, he quipped "just let it happen, it'll be over soon". What was meant to be a BadassBoast ended up sounding like a [[DudeNotFunny joke about rape]], which didn't settle well with many viewers.
* A chess game was played in the Liechtenstein Open of 1992, in which Hans-Uwe Kock played against Johannes Sucher. This is how "Kock-Sucher" was possible to be cited in a book on chess openings.
* A fairly common reason for this are words that aren't ''quite'' HaveAGayOldTime, but still near it. Take the word 'taint', for instance: it is entirely possible, indeed even ''likely'' to only be aware of the contamination meaning, but as it so happens it is also a slang term for a part of the human body. The more innocent meaning is both at least equally valid and more widespread, but if you ''are'' aware of the slang term...
* A family-friendly diner in Pennsylvania popular for its ice cream briefly had this sign over its napkin holder:
-->"What do ''you'' cream? In case it's your shirt, please take some of these!"
* [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6n745YGoJ1qb8x3g.jpg Candle salad]]. As Teresa Nielsen Hayden once put it: You have to have a really ''clean'' mind to come up with something like this.
* Bad time for unnecessary quotation marks: [[http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/2009/12/thanks-for-mental-image.html Please do not allow children to "bang" on piano -- thanks!]]
* Hockey announcers often fall prey to the Accidental Innuendo, mainly due to sticks being used in the sport. References such as a player "having a long stick" and "stick-on-stick action" are common.
* American football announcers have it at least as bad, what with the tight ends and wide receivers. And any sport that involves ball-handling. In fact, it might be best to just say sports announcers, full stop. There was a T-shirt covered in common American football announcing phrases that ''sound'' dirty but aren't, which included sayings like "All he has to do is keep pounding it up the middle!" and "He could...go...all...the...way!!!"
* Baseball gives us the phrase "get good wood on the ball".
** And of course, as mentioned on one of George Carlin's early albums: "The batter's got two balls on him."
** And then there's the old joke about a foreigner (usually a Scotsman) watching his first baseball game, ending with his reaction to being told that the batter had four balls...
* Cricket is also a frequent source of accidental innuendo. At an England-West Indies Test match at the Oval in 1991, Jonathan Agnew said of Ian Botham being declared out after clipping the bails of the wicket as he tried to vault over them that "He just didn't quite get his leg over."[[note]]"Leg-over" being a British euphemism for sex. This was considered particularly funny, as Botham was famous as [[ReallyGetsAround something of a ladies' man]].[[/note]] When he realised what he had said, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=967DpAEKcmQ dissolved into hysterics, dragging fellow commentator Brian Johnston down with him despite the latter's efforts to maintain his composure.]][[note]] Michael Houlding at the crease facing deliveries from Peter Willey being described as "The batsman's Houlding, the bowler's Willey", however, is probably apocryphal.[[/note]]
** The same commentator also described the scene during the lunch interval during a test match, pointing out that in front of the commentary box some children were playing an impromptu game of cricket, with the phrase "Just in front of us are some small boys playing with their balls."
** Another incident involved a player trying to replace the rubber grip on the handle of his bat: "He's trying to get his rubber on - he can't quite get it over the shaft." Cue more uncontrolled laughter.
** In the days of radio commentators Blowers and Johnstone[[note]]possibly the most eccentric sporting commentating team to be found ''anywhere''[[/note]], the names of two players gifted a (possibly) deliberate innuendo, delivered with complete deadpan panache:
--> The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey.
* The word innuendo itself, consider it's pronounced, "in-you-end-o".
* Soviet bloc countries had lots of jokes based upon the Party's {{Newspeak}}: what is the greatest achievement of transplantology? To move the member from the Party's arm to the head [[note]] in Polish this was more of a {{Double Entendre}}, since a word used for "member" - ''członek'' - is an actual medical term.[[/note]] Also, the Polish version of the joke uses phrases ''z ramienia'' (literally: "from the arm", but it could also means "from an organization") and ''wysuwa się na czoło'' ("rising to the forehead", but also "take a lead"). Therefore, the sentence could mean that a party member is rising to the power or... some {{Body Horror}} is happening. Oh, and "suspended member" (''zawieszony członek'') could also be taken the wrong way. Many newspapers have fun with that.
* There's a currency, a people, and a language called "dong". Website/{{Cracked}} [[http://www.cracked.com/funny-2858-dongs/ had fun with this.]]
* There was this classic headline about a Brazilian soccer player going to Portugal: Argel Fuks Off To Benfica
* The slightly goofy, Swedish furniture names of IKEA products have been noted as having this property from time to time. "Diktad" means "made up" or "poetical", but it does make you snigger. Unfortunately, one of their products, a bed, did end up with a name that meant something rather close to "good fuck" in German. [[BiteTheWaxTadpole Oops.]]
** There's also a piece of IKEA furniture known as "Beslut". That's Swedish for "decision", but it has quite different connotations in English.
** And an armchair whose name loosely sounds like "butt-tight" (Poäng) in German.
** And the Fartful!
** The Fräck mirror might qualify... unless you're the new ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' in which case it's a deliberate inside joke.
* The word ''wang'' actually means ''money'' in the Malay language. And then there's ''duit'' (pronounced ''do-it''), which also more or less means the same thing. There are nasty adult jokes that plays on these. Doesn't help that the word ''money'' sound similar to another Malay word ''mani'', which means sperm cum. There's also the phrase ''money shot'' that is another word for Bukkake.
* There’s actually a company in Malaysia called ''[[https://www.emis.com/php/company-profile/MY/Sumurwang_SdnBhd_en_4220983.html Sumurwang PLC.]]''. [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior2013 Who wants some more Wang?]] Them, apparently.
* [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/07/the-funniest-unintentiona_n_602700.html#s97102 The 11 Funniest Unintentionally-Sexual Signs Of All Time.]]
* [[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?referrerid=109801&t=603219 This forum]] has a list of some of the best ones on British TV and Radio.
* A legendary German classic, said by sport reporter Heinz Maegerlein on a ski event 1959: "Tausende standen an den Hängen und Pisten". [[note]]"Thousands stood on the hillsides and slopes."[[/note]] However, "Pisten" is a homophone to "pissten" [[note]]"pissed"[[/note]] - and even worse, both interpretations are grammatically correct.
* Wagner's Meat Market of New Orleans has a rather... [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/11625534@N00/2047998720/ interesting slogan.]]
* The behaviorist term "self stimulating behavior". It is no euphemism for masturbation. People generally shorten it to "stim" or "stimming".
* Faker (pronounced exactly like fucker) is a normal last name in Arabic and Persian, meaning "great thinker". When written in English on your passport however ... especially since some people who don't know enough English (be it the person with the name or the one in charge of writing the English version of the name on the passport) even spell it as Fucker. There is an (unfortunate) cleric in Iran whose name was misspelled as Fucker in some sources causing him to become the butt of many jokes for years (ironically he was the cultural emissary of Iran to Europe at the time).
** There is also a small city in Iran called Fuck (with that exact spelling on the road signs). It's because the ones writing the signs were idiots but ...
* Even the dust dry area of mathematics contains some stuff that is pure HehHehYouSaidX material: Coxeter group (and its [[http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.0873 Tits boundary]]), Pumping Lemma, P-Space hard, Cuntz algebra, Hairy Ball theorem...Enough!! See "[[http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=6683570 Rude math :-)]]" for an exhaustive list...Also there's an SMBC comic that points out that, referring to math terms, sexation is repeated penetration.
* There's a B'jaysville Lane in Iowa City. Presumably they didn't have enough room on the sign for "Bluejaysville."
* Words such as screw, drill, hole, nuts, caulk, jack, stripper, grinder, piledriver, butt joint and so on have very different meanings outside of the construction field.
* Being a German chemist and reading about [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick%27s_law_of_diffusion "Fick's Diffusionsgesetz"]] (that would be roughly equivalent to the fucking diffusion law) is completely normal, and if you seen it often enough, you even don't snicker anymore. But reading ten minutes later about the necrolog of Prof. Kleinpoppen (that would be smallshagging) makes you think if there actually is a [[{{Literature/Illuminatus}} Cosmic Giggle Factor.]]
* "Clinton Licks Beavers". Though the headline sounds like it's related to Bill Clinton's sex scandal, this Clinton is a high school in a Tennessee town of the same name, and the Beavers were the mascot of their rival school.
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lHTsF2HFoc&t=385s this interview]] with Creator/BetteDavis, she makes some rather choice words about losing her virginity.
--> '''Bette:''' If you want to come to Connecticut in front of the fire some night, I'll tell you about my wedding night. You'll be on the floor for three hours.
--> ''Beat as she realises what she's just said. The live audience giggles.''
--> '''Bette:''' No! I did not mean ''that''. [[BigNO No!]] I meant ''laughing'' on the floor.
* One GratuitousEnglish door sign says "[[https://www.etsy.com/listing/90662625/funny-dont-disturb-office-sign During the work, prohibition against penetration]]". Another says [[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/83668505547296211/ "Erection in progress"]], along with displaying a man sillhouette with his private area x-ed out.
* [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/31474-engrish A Chinglish/Engrish retail shelf sign]] reads "Please don't touch yourself, let us help you to try out".
* Probably an intentional {{That Came Out Wrong}} but the 2017 OCR [[note]] One of the companies who makes the tests and provides syllabuses, which are chosen in advance by schools. Questions/syllabuses differ by company, although set to a national standard by the government[[/note]] Chemistry test (A required exam for 16-year olds in the UK), contained the phrase "Chris tests the flexibility of different shafts". The question was related to the shaft of a golf club.[[note]]The bit between the handle and the actual club part of the golf club.[[/note]] Reportedly, sniggering could be heard in exam rooms across the country.
* A banner ad for ''Film/TheMummy2017'' appeared during a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game being simulcast by MLB Network from the Jays' broadcaster, but a NewContentCountdownClock for a Chicago Cubs game on the latter [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/b1c043abfb0efbb72f3343651665ff49/tumblr_or9fwns12a1qzeo2zo1_540.jpg covered up the "M"]] with humorous results.
* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Unemployment_Tax_Act Federal Unemployment Tax Act]], also known as "FUTA", is a little hard to study for those who enjoy hentai, due to "futa" also being short for ''futanari''.
* Former Utah State Senator Chris Buttars, who was a very vocal opponent of gay rights, claimed in an interview that "I don't mind gays. I just don't want 'em stuffin' it down my throat all the time."
* South Dakota started a billboard campaign to warn people of the dangers of violently turning the steering wheel in snowy/icy conditions. The motto? [[http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/south-dakota-yanks-dont-jerk-drive-campaign.html/ Don't jerk and drive]]. As the article shows, it set up a lot of jokes, even when they "yanked" the campaign.
** South Dakota was at it again in early 2020 with their "Meth: We're on it" campaign
* Due to his name, this happens all the time with MMA artist "Danny Mianus". The most famous lines spoken by announcers: "Mianus is bleeding all over", "This is a lot of pain for Mianus", "Looks like Mianus could be in trouble", "Mianus is relaxed here", "I watch mi anus", "some physician just popped in here to look at mianus", "can semen get inside Mianus?", "this is not where Mianus wants to be" and "Mianus needs to losen up a little here"
* For whatever reason, a fair number of people (presumably due to being unfamiliar with Twitter) pronounce "# (whatever)" as "pound (whatever)" instead of "hashtag (whatever)". This has led to several people (including internet personalities, who should really know better) calling #Metoo "pound Metoo", which is doubly unfortunate considering it's a hashtag about women who have been sexually assaulted or raped..
* "Anguished English" (a book about funny language mistakes) has the following line (reportedly written by a student) "At the end of "The Awakening", Edna thinks only of herself. Her suicide is selfish because she leaves all who [[AmbiguousSyntax care about her behind."]]
* In C++, most of the language's standard library is in the "std" (short for standard) namespace. Accessing any part of the library usually means prefixing it with "std", [[OverlyLongGag making most C++ code repeatedly feature these initials]]. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "dirty code."
* In 2019, Wolves’ muscular footballer Wilfred Boly got the rather unfortunate [[https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/talksport.com/football/492758/wolves-tweet-willy-boly-goal-v-newcastle/amp/ tweet]] praising him “We all (heart symbol) Big Willy”.
* In German, the terms for the genitals are so generic that they can pop up anywhere - "Glied" (penis) can refer to any functional part, while "Scheide" (vagina) to any separator, such as sheath of a sword. You can only imagine the fun a translator has when a sword is of the TalkingWeapon variety. [[Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard Especially if the book is for kids and the sword refers to females of his species...]]
* The Calgary White Hat Oath has one, in which the oathtaker(s) mention(s) "having pleasured [themselves]". At least a few oathtakers who took the oath on ''Stampede City Sessions'' have lampshaded this.
* One article discussing negative reviews of ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'' went by the headline of "Green gets fingered for Razzies". In other words, it's a typical movie critic {{Pun}} that ended up sounding wrong.
* A common Chinese menu item is "Dry Fried Ass(donkey) Meat".
* On November 11, 2020, political commentator Dinesh D'Souza [[https://twitter.com/dineshdsouza/status/1326304111948488706 tweeted]] "Ted Cruz just UNLOADED on [=McCabe=]'s face over the ridiculous Logan Act double standard with Biden vs. Flynn." Naturally, Twitter had a field day with this.
* Skyscrapers are frequently derided as phallic symbols (never mind that they're designed to maximize the usable [=space/ground=] area ratio, and building them tall and thin is the only practical way to accomplish this). New York State governor Andrew Cuomo didn't do much to dispel this perception when, in April 2021, he announced plans to erect[[labelnote:*]] {{Heh heh|YouSaidX}}[[/labelnote]] a 1,200ft building at 15 Penn Street called...
