Here are some blunders I've witnessed in the past week (just rejoicing that they were not my own =P)...
Girls, talking about a pregnant friend: "She's getting big, isn't she?!"
Unassuming male coworker: "What's up with that?"
Girls: "Ummm... she's pregnant."
Male: "Oh."
Crazy coworker: "They have such a stigmatism to them!" (I am not positive what she was referring to, but the word she was looking for was "stigma," not "stigmatism").
I was reminded of something someone I once knew used to say: "Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are dumb, rather than open it and remove all doubt."
