I will preface this by saying I normally have a pretty good filter on the things that I say. If I'm about to say something really stupid or something that may be offensive or inappropriate I usually catch it before it comes out of my mouth. Today was not one of those days.
I work at a small bakery. It's owned by my best friends mother, and most of my co-workers are also people I've grown up with, so I won't be surprised if I take some shit for this.
There I am, wrapping muffins like any other work day. On the other side of the table is a female co-worker of mine who is heat sealing muffins. I roll one of the wrapped muffins sitting next to me over to her, however it turns and rolls back to me. In a very poor effort to lighten the mood I decided to compare said muffin to a boomerang, which in turn inspired me to try combining "muffin" with "boomerang". At first I ended up with a "boomer-muffin", but then I went, "nah, that's dumb" and tried to think up something better. This is where my mental filter completely shut down. What I was originally going to say here was "muffin-rang". At this point things started to go in slow motion, as I could figuratively feel the mental filter failing. Before I could stop what was about to come out of my mouth, I loudly exclaimed "Oh, a MUFFERAANNG-OOOOH NOOOO". Which was taken in a VERY different way than the innocent wordplay I had intended.
This got some awkward and somewhat disapproving laughter out of both my brother who was next to me and said female co-worker across the table. After a couple of minutes I had gone back to wrapping muffins. But I couldn't look at a muffin with out thinking about the mufferang and laughing, not laughing at the word itself, but at my complete and utter failure to catch it before it came out of my mouth. This got so bad that I actually had to stop wrapping and walk away from the table for a short time to breathe and get some water.
TLDR; co-workers think I'm perverted after accidentally saying mufferang at work... don't accidentally say mufferang at work or at all for that matter
