Hilarious typos

For a long time I've been a member of a forum that was made as an offshoot of the Battle.net Forums. One of the guys involved (in fact, the one who made the new forum originally) has the screenname 'Kerrigore'. One day some years ago, in some random thread, the following gets posted:

Yes, he actually meant to type 'Kerrigan' (another character from StarCraft). But the mistake made it about a thousand times funnier.

However, probably the all-time funniest typo I've ever seen was on Yahoo Answers. You know how in the 1980s there was a british rock band called The Police? And how they had a song called 'Wrapped Around Your Finger'? And how the S and D keys are right next to each other? Yes, I once actually saw the following Yahoo Answers question title:

You know how cops are, always coming up with bizarre new interrogation techniques... ;P

Too easy of a target, but still, from My Immortal:

"He had lung black hair and a looooooong black bread". Yes, bread.

ERROR: Signature not loaded

This typo by Bad Wolf 21 (in a conversation about games), and the subsequent mocking by Enlong.

Lung-black, huh? Guess he's a smoker.

An otherwise very good fanfiction I was reading not too long ago had a girl running from something, and "her legs burned with excretion".

Now Google Image Search "runner's diarrhea" and cringe as hard as you can.

I remember posting something in the "shit our teachers say" thread that my bio teacher said. While I intended to type: "I sincerely hope there aren't females playing breast tag and that the guys don't play testicle tag" (or something to that extent", I accidentally said "are" instead of "aren't"

Yes, apparently my bio teacher supported females touching each other inappropriately. XD

I don’t even know anymore.

I support females touching each other inappropriately. :D

That aside, I was on Yahoo Answers earlier today and some guy posted some Javascript code related to storing function references in an array. It seems as if he intended his array to be called 'functions', but he accidentally replaced the 'func' part of the word with something a little different. Even more hilariously, the usage was consistent throughout the code, possibly as a result of an IDE automatically filling in the identifier.

One month necro.

I thought it was about an Inuit legend where sharks turned into humans.

It's gone now, but a user wrote the wrong word when trying to use the quoteblock markup and... this happened.

^explanation The user wrote quotecock instead.

Similar to the "burned with excretion" above, one fanfic that I read recently briefly mentions a character shaking more than when they got a "naval" piercing.

Not exactly a typo, but lately I've been working with an Optical Character Reader (parses text from a scanned image). These are usually about...70-90% accurate — right on the border of whether it would just be faster to copy the text yourself than to correct the output by hand, and they have a whole lot of junk if you don't sequester off whitespace properly. They're pretty aggravating.

Anyway, sometimes that 30-10% is hilarious.

One more hilarious fanfiction typo: "inconvenient" became "incontinent".

I don’t even know anymore.

I don't know if this counts, but while creating th Fiend folio shout out page, I forgor to capitalize out, and fixed it 2 seconds later, the history tab will forever show my amateurish fuckup

One time, in my friends' WhatsApp group, we were talking about things in Smash Bros that didn't make sense. One of my friends wanted to type "een normale bokser kan toch ook niet double jumpen?", which means "a regular boxer can't double jump either, right?". However, he misspelled "kan" as "jan", which is a very typical Dutch name. So ever since then, Bokser Jan has been the mascot of our chat group and over the years we made up mountains of lore about him.

Years ago, in the group chat for a forum I was a part of, someone asked if there was a "nudge button"... except he accidentally wrote "nude button". Cue laughter from several other members.

"Leftover items still have value!"

Years ago, my collaborator and I found the hilarious typo in a story we were writing together:

"Can you feel the moose tightening about your neck?"

Um...yeah, every letter counts,lol!
